Five years after owning our 2001, pontiac aztec our inside fan control burnt up and needed replacement. 07/07/2009 I purchased another 2001, aztec at an auction and to find out the fan wasn't working. I brought my vehicle into the garage for repairs and maintanence and the mechanic said the wires were melted and it will cost close to $200.00 for just replacement parts. The first pontiac had extended warranty which was a good thing. In closing I am curious to know if other complaints have been filed? Thank you

I was finding antifreeze in my oil. Took to the shop and had to have the intake gasket and the manifold gasket replaced. Also had to have a new thermostat and pvc valve. It cost almost $900.00. This is not the only problems have had to have the front wheel bearings replaced 2 times and brake shoes 2 times. Also had to have the heater fixed. Now the AC does not work. Had to have the window control unit replaced on the driver side. Had to have computer components replaced because the battery went bad with no notice. And now the windshield wipers do not work. To fix this problem is going to cost me $200 that is just for the whole motor and connecting rods. Because it is a factory only part. All together I have paid almost $2,000.00. The AC is the condenser which is another $300.00. I have had and loved gm vehicles for awhile. But this kind of thing has never been a problem.....something has got to be done.

Tl*the contact owns a 2001 pontiac aztec. She stated that the condenser would not blow cold air when engaged. The dealer stated that there was a hole in the condenser.

The failure mileage was 13,745 and the current mileage was 92,000. The consumer was told that brackets were punching holes in the condenser. After the last condenser replacement, the consumer smelled something burning and noticed anti-freeze leaking only when the air conditioner was on.

The consumer was then told the intake was ok, but a radiator was still needed. Updated 09/11/07. The blower motor was also replaced. Updated 09/11/07.

Purchased my 2001 aztek in october 2000. Every year (winter) since 2001, I have had to take my vehicle into the dealership for repair because I lose my traction control which automatically takes out my ABS brakes. The dealership doesn't have a clue as to why this is happening. This is a safety issue, considering where I live. There are 5 incident dates, thus far.
