2002 Pontiac Aztek FWD review from North America
"I love it, but afraid of poor reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear hatch won't release properly
Front bearings failed at 40,000 miles.
General comments?
In general I love the concept of the vehicle. great hauling space and good versitility, but starting to have reliability problems. Dealer agreed to fix front bearings for $100 deductable after I complained about an $800 bill. Must be a common problem. I have never had front wheel bearings fail before and now both at the same time.
