All Engine And Engine Coolingcooling System Complaints
PURCHASED THE PONTIAC 2001 AZTEK FROM A DEALER USED. THE FIRST WEEK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SECOND WEEK THE SERVICE VEHICLE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE THERMOMETER GAUGE WAS STUCK IN COLD, TOOK THE CAR TO CHECKERS AUTOPARTS TO DIAGNOSE. WAS A BAD THERMOSTAT. ANOTHER WEEK LATER THE ENGINE STARTED OVERHEATING. STOPPED CHECKED COOLANT. WAS GONE OUT OF THE RESERVOIR, WHICH I JUST HAD FILLED AT JIFFY LUBE THAT MORNING. STOPPED BY THEM AGAIN, THEY CHECKED THE LIQUIDS, FOUND COOLANT MIXED IN WITH THE OIL. ADVISED NOT TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SINCE IT CAN MESS UP THE ENGINE. CALLED DEALER AND HAD THEM TOW IT. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR THE PAST 4 DAYS. STATED THAT IT WAS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. WONDERING IF THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE AFTER READING SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING IT. AND ALSO IF PONTIAC WOULD FIX IT. *TR
BOUGHT 2001 AZTEC BECAUSE I HAD ALWAYS LIKED THE DESIGN. HAD CAR FOR FOUR MONTHS AND BRAKES WERE SQUEALING. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY NEEDED CLEANING. DIDN'T HELP. TOOK BACK AND THEN THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE PADS,WHICH THEY SAID WEREN'T ORIGINAL GM PADS(EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE INSPECTED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT) AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY BECAUSE THAT WASN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY. TOOK IT 2 SERVICE CENTER OUTSIDE OF DEALERSHIP AND BRAKE PADS WERE FINE JUST EMITTED A LOT OF BRAKE DUST THEY BOTH SAID. HEAD LIGHTS SOMEWHAT FLICKER WHEN DRIVING. DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT ON TEMP WENT OUT. ON TAILLIGHTS THE FINISH IS COMING OFF(A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THESE VEHICLES BEING CHEAP GRADE PLASTIC). THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BUTTON SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK AND THE ENTIRE UNIT FELL THROUGH AND HAD TO GET INSIDE OF DOOR TO PUSH IT BACK THROUGH TO GET...
