2001 Pontiac Aztek AWD review from North America
"Unless you have to have one, pass it up!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C condenser replaced at 20k.
Rear differential replaced at 20k.
Intake and head gaskets at 62k.
Rear knuckles at 52k.
Blower motor resistor pack at 52k.
Tune up at 60k.
Transmission at 80k.
Wheel bearing at 40k, another at 50k, another at 60k, and another at 80k.
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.
