2001 PONTIAC AZTEK User Comment / Complaint
2007-08-14 Woodward, OK
I was finding antifreeze in my oil. took to the shop and had to have the intake gasket and the manifold gasket replaced. also had to have a new thermostat and pvc valve. it cost almost $900.00. this is not the only problems have had to have the front wheel bearings replaced 2 times and brake shoes 2 times. also had to have the heater fixed. now the ac does not work. had to have the window control unit replaced on the driver side. had to have computer components replaced because the battery went bad with no notice. and now the windshield wipers do not work. to fix this problem is going to cost me $200 that is just for the whole motor and connecting rods. because it is a factory only part. all together i have paid almost $2,000.00. the ac is the condenser which is another $300.00. i have had and loved gm vehicles for awhile. but this kind of thing has never been a problem.....something has got to be done.

I had the same issue with my aztek! So far we have replaced the head gaskets, intake manifold, thermostat etc...we were told that our engine block was rusted and that everything we fixed was going to continue to break again and again. We have owned the car for a year and put over 8000 dollars worth of work into it! Once again it is in the garage today having the rack in pinion replaced as it wont pass inspection without it! That is another 700 dollars. you said you also had issues with your heater? What was it? We do as well...the heater only works sometimes and when it does, you smell antifreeze and the whole window fogs up...we were told that it is the heater core...maybe thats something to check for if your problem sounds similar to mine
