“I have a 2002 Pontiac Aztek and there's a ticking noise in the motor and the oil is good and all the other fluids are good. My A/C stop working and the back hatch doesn't unlock sometimes and to fix the problem I have to disconnect the battery for about 15mins or longer for it to work , can you tell me what could be the problem and how to fix it .”
NHTSA complaint #10242500, filed 2008-09, 92,402 miles“My A/C condenser coil has a leak. The A/C unit when out at 45000 mile. I call g.m. They said they had no complaints on the A/C unit. They will not repair this A/C condenser because it isn't a safety issue. This is bad bussiness for a truck that is only two year old. This a 2002 atzek.
