2003 Pontiac Aztek transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle is automatic but still rolls backward in drive. Dealer's service department says this is normal. I've driven for almost 50 years and no other vehicle I have driven that was automatic did this.
2003 pontiac aztec freely rolls forward(as if in neutral) when automatic transmission is in reverse, while on a grade, and also freely rolls backward(as if in neutral) when automatic transmission is in drive, while on a grade. Dealership and gm consider this normal operation. My husband and I do not we consider this to be extremely unsafe for anyone walking or driving in front or behind us on a grade where you may have to stop and go.
While driving about 55 MPH on the highway and approaching an intersection gear was stuck in drive,driver lost control, resulting in a collision.
