2001 Pontiac Aztek review from North America
"Unique style with a comfortable ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replace gas cap. 52,000 kms -$55.
Remote lock mechanism 71,200kms - $88.
Remote lock mechanism 72,400 kms - $457.
Traction Control sensor & wheel bearing - $518.
A/C 79,600 - $944 We were told that it was damaged by a "flying rock/stone"
Clear coat on tail light has come off.
Upper part of tail gate never "pops" open on first click of remote.
Total driver dash information panel has gone blank. 84000 It is not a fuse and will be repaired next Mon.
General comments?
The seats are very comfortable.
Even with the shorter wheel base it gives a very comfortable ride.
Over all we quite like the car, but feel that problems have appeared far too soon.
