I'm having problems with my brakes and head lights and also my battery. I think it's a electricity problem. Every since I had this truck I have had to change my brakes about 10 times and my head lights about five times and battery twice. There's a grawl and roar sound coming from the brakes. The brakes went out on me one time cause me to run out in front of cars. This could have kill me an d my child. I ask for another car instead of this.
2003 Pontiac Aztek brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
1. The vehicle will not come out of park without shutting it off if I leave it running and put it in park like at a drive-through etc. Have not had it checked or repaired because out of warranty and cannot afford to fix. 2. The rear window hatch will not open properly. I had the dealer repair once while still under warranty but it is doing it again. 3. Front wheel bearing replaced once and is roaring like it needs to be replaced again. 4. The back middle seat belt fell apart and is too expensive to repair. 5. The vehicle goes through brakes rather quickly. Has been less than a year and they need to be replaced again.
While braking at 40 MPH vehicle vibrated. Dealership repaired the rear brake drums eight times, but the problem recurred. *ak the consumer indicated that the brakes were still bad and the rear brakes were replaced again. *bf
While driving at any speed consumer applied the brakes and there was a delay before the vehicle stopped.
When driving at any speed check engine light appeared on the dashboard. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealer to be inspected. However, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the problem. *ak the vehicle also rolled forward while on a slight incline. The ignition switch attempted to start the vehicle although it was already started. The rear hatch could not be opened by the button on the inside of the vehicle. The brakes failed while attempting to come to a stop. When the vehicle was on and in park the gear selector could not be moved into drive unless the vehicle was shut off then turned back on. The consumer heard a whining noise coming from the steering wheel. An odor was coming from the vents when the A/C was on.
On nov. 25 & 26, while pulling up to a red light (2 times) and only traveling approximately 3 to 5 MPH my pontiac aztek (2003) has felt like the brakes have released (disengaged while my foot was still on the brake pedal) and has caused me to stop 5 to 10 feet beyond the point where I intended to stop. The feeling was that of applying your brakes on a wet road and your ABS system kicks in. However, in this case, instead of a repeated apply, release, apply braking feeling, it felt as if the brakes released on the one time and then fully applied as it should have done.
The brakes locked up when they were applied, which caused the vehicle to experience extended stopping distance.
Replaced ABS control unit module due to an internal short. Also, replaced front and rear brake rotors.
