2003 PONTIAC AZTEK Complaints

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHENEVER HE TURNS A CORNER AND HITS A BUMP THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO WANT TO SKID AROUND TO THE FRONT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HANDLING NORMALLY.*AK

CONSUMER STATE REAR HATCH SPOILER BLOCKS REAR VIEW VISION. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *PH

ELECTRIC COOLING FANS MALFUNTIONED. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 6/30/2003 AND I HAVE NOTICED THE TEMP GUAGE FLUCTUATING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND THEY FOUND THAT THE ELECTRIC COOLING FANS WERE NOT WORKING. THERE WERE ONLY 600 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.*AK

SEVERE NOISE PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING OVER 40 MPH WITH PASSENGER REAR WINDOW OPEN. *JB

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2003 PONTIAC AZTEK AND WANTED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LATCH SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO MY OWNERS MANUAL THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE LATCH, HOWEVER IT IS MISSING THE REAR LATCH TETHERS. THE OWNERS MANUAL CLEARLY INDICATES FOR THE CENTER POSITION THE LATCH ANCHOR IS LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE SEAT ON THE FLOOR OF THE CARGO AREA, BUT THERE IS NO LATCH ANCHOR THERE. I AM NOT SURE IF SOME DESIGNER CHANGED THE POSITION OF THE LATCH ANCHOR AND DID NOT CHANGE THE OWNERS MANUAL BUT I HAVE LOOKED AND CAN FIND NO REAR LATCH ANCHOR FOR THE CENTER SEATING. *JB

THE BRAKES LOCKED UP WHEN THEY WERE APPLIED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE.*JB

REPLACED ABS CONTROL UNIT MODULE DUE TO AN INTERNAL SHORT. ALSO, REPLACED FRONT AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS. *AK
