2004 PONTIAC AZTEK RALLY - THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN APRIL 2010 - YOU GET INTO THE CAR, TURN IT ON AND START DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE SPEED OF THE CAR INCREASES SLOWLY UNTIL YOU HAVE TO PUT ON THE BRAKE TO STAY WITHIN THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY NOW. A CHEVROLET DEALER, FIRST TRIED A NEW BATTERY & GAVE IT BACK TO US. WITHIN 2 MILES OF THE DEALERSHIP IT STARTED AGAIN. WE TOOK IT BACK - THEY HOOKED IT UP TO A COMPUTER - FOUND NOTHING - SO THEN THEY REPLACED THE CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEM - WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT STARTED AGAIN - WE TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT GMAC AND MAKE SOME INQUIRIES. NO ONE KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT BUT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE WAY IT IS. *TR

AFTER NOTICING A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR WAS DRIPPING FUEL ONTO THE ENGINE. THE FUEL WAS COMING FROM THE CASE SEAM AND NOT THE FUEL LINE OR CONNECTION TO THE FUEL RAIL. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS ON MY 04 AZTEK 1 MONTH AGO AND NOW THE REAR BEARINGS ARE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS 69,000 MILES. *TR

I NOTICE THE SMELL OF GAS ON MY DRIVE WAY, AFTER A FEW DAYS I NOTICE IT WAS COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED IT WOULD ONLY DO IT WHEN I PARKED FORWARD (SO THE CARS FRONT END WAS INCLINED) I THOUGHT IT WAS COMING FROM THE CLAMP, I TIGHTEN THE CLAMED. DID NOT WORK. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND SAID IT WAS THE SEAL AROUND THE TANK BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT WITH A PATCH. WE NOTICED THIS ABOUT A FEW DAYS AGO AND ARE WAITING TO SEE IF A RECALL LETTER WE RECEIVED WAS THE ONE FOR THE GAS TANK. CROSS OUR FINGERS! *TR
