2001 Pontiac Aztek Suspension Problems

“Have had on-going issues with electrical system and A/C evaporator drain. Have had the drain cleaned twice and repaired once. Still have water draining into passenger compartment. Have replaced both front hubs, four wiring harnesses, the fuel pump, the battery, and the blower motor twice. Most of these failures due to corrosion/melting. Another harness now needs to be replaced due to corrosion.”

“Soon after purchase there was a clicking noise that began in the rear of the vehicle when applying brakes. The clicking noise then turned into a popping noise that could be felt when applying the brakes. There is wind noise on the left front door post, noise in the front end of vehicle, the right headlight is inoperable, the horn is inoperable, and the wipers do not turn off at times.”

“Front hubs (bearings) wearing out. 2001 Pontiac Aztek. Currently installing the 4th and 5th new bearings on vehicle. Only 60,000 miles. Technician says that bearing failure could result in front tire & rim breaking away from vehicle.”

“2001 Pontiac Aztek has wheel bearing failure. Gm says the part is not available and there are over 2000 of these parts on back order. Can can't be driven, nor can it be repaired without the part. Gm says there is nothing they can do.”

“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. …”
