2001 Pontiac Aztek from North America

Summary:

I would not buy this car again as the cost to maintain is too high

Faults:

Air conditioner has been replaced three times and is currently broken again.

Lights go off and on while driving, but do not stay off. Due to lights not staying off diagnosis has not been available.

Gas must be kept at 1/2 tank or better to run car. If gas falls below 1/2 tank car dies and will not run. Mechanic could not diagnose problem as car started after towing by wrecker.

Driver's window will not stay up.

Mirror fell off while car was setting in the driveway.

General Comments:

In its defense the car handles well on any surface and can pass anything on the road when it is running.

2001 Pontiac Aztek from North America

Summary:

Great car, but GM should take care of the A/C problems

My air conditioning went out at approximately 29,000 miles.

General Comments:

I really like this car, but everyone seems to be having problems with the A/C unit. That is very disapointing.

Yes I also own an 2001 Aztec and my A/C unit had a hole in it which needed replaced.

I purchased my Aztek used with 13,000 miles and after 2 months of driving the A/C went out. All of the parts for this vehicle are very expensive. I had to fix a leak in both the upper and lower intake manifolds. It also overheated three times so I replaced the radiator. The hatch lift gate failed to work 1 month after purchase. I could go on, but I am preaching to the choir.

2001 Pontiac Aztek from North America

Summary:

Very bad

Faults:

Don't ever buy this car - highly unreliable and horrible resale value.

General Comments:

The car is only 4 years old, yet its air-conditioning broke twice.

Gas gage broke. Radio monitor broke.

Right now I'm looking at 2,000$ worth in repairs.

Also it looses 75% of its price after just 4 years.

We own a 2001 Aztek and love the roominess and the way it drives, but we have had problems twice with the air conditioning condensor. We have 75,000 miles on it now and the condensor is leaking again. The first time was in 2003 and here it is again leaking once more. Also had problem with the rear lights, the finish was flaking off as well as the back up light on top of the hatch. NO ONE with GM wants to correct these problems that we all are having. They don't want to take care of the customer once they sell them that vehicle.

General Comments:

I liked the Aztek, but I just can't afford keep paying $700 then $1400. I traded it in and got a truck. Had zip. Rides real nice. Repairing anything yourself will be very hard cause everything hard to get to.
