General Comments:

Junk; don't buy one.

I can't afford to fix this thing anymore; it is putting me in the poor house.

I can do any of the wheel bearings on it in 40 minutes flat. I do all my own work on it and have probably have 7k$ into it.

Currently it runs and drives, but the ABS and AWD disable lighte is on due to a bad wiring harness. I would stay away from the Torrent and Rendezvous also; it is built on the same chassis as the old Aztek.

I have had the problem with the rear hatch not opening on 1st press of release. I found an answer on this site about adjusting the black knobs on the side of the hatch. It worked. Even the dealers don't know this. I had the pistons replaced once under warranty to try an fix this. I would like to thank the person who posted this repair.

Thank you.

My gas gage shows either full, or if I stop for a long red light, will go to empty.

The knobs on the seats have come off.

The eyeglass holder on the overhead console broke.

I had to replace my a/c compressor about 2 years ago.

General Comments:

Other than these problems, this is a great vehicle. It is very roomy, and very easy to load it up with stuff. It is very comfortable on long trips. After my mother-in-law had hip replacement surgery, she always wanted to be picked up in my Aztek instead of other cars in the family which included a Buick and an Audi.

Faults:

I bought this well used at 114000 kms. Right away the right wheel bearing went, which was replaced under warranty.

A year later it went again which wasn't under warranty.

The trunk latch takes multiple hits to open.

I replaced the rear shocks at 170000 kms.

General Comments:

General Comments:
