2003 Pontiac Aztek Brakes Problems

“I was driving about 4 mins. I stopped at light and car cut off. Car never cut on after. I just purchased car on june 26 2013. I was told there aren't ant problems with the car and if I have any problems to bring it back I brought it back to find that they didn't value their word. They wouldn't accept car back and exchange for my purchase. Although I am unable to drive car til this day.”

“In april 2011 on bumpy roads a grinding noise would come on and it took longer to stop the car. I called the dealer and was told it was probably the ABS system and could be a number of things, the computer module may be bad, the sensors on each wheel could be bad. I took the car in for service in may, had to replace the wheel bearings on one wheel and was told it was fixed $540. Then in june the car started doing the same thing, took it in again, was told another wheel needed new bearings $740 with a warranty. …”

“We purchased this vehicle as a GM certified vehicle but found out later that it was not properly inspected as the brakes were bad all of the way around. The dealer took care of it, but 3 days later a loud humming started to occur when we turned the vehicle left. Upon reporting it to the dealership, they told me they could fix it for $600+. This problem has since gotten worse to the point where the humming almost drowns out your voice when you drive down the road. And if you turn left, it is so loud that it hurts your ears. …”

“The brakes want stop on time and the car is making all kind of loud noises like something is loose in the front went I turn right. The heater want work on high. I had the front drivers side wheel barrel replaced because it went out now this. After 20 years I finally brought a brand new car and it seams to have more major problems then a use one . I am very disappointed I have just started riding the bus because I can't afford to get this fixed and I am afraid I will crash. They should do a recall on the 2003 Aztek for the brakes before someone is injured. …”

“On nov. 25 & 26, while pulling up to a red light (2 times) and only traveling approximately 3 to 5 MPH my Pontiac Aztek (2003) has felt like the brakes have released (disengaged while my foot was still on the brake pedal) and has caused me to stop 5 to 10 feet beyond the point where I intended to stop. The feeling was that of applying your brakes on a wet road and your ABS system kicks in. However, in this case, instead of a repeated apply, release, apply braking feeling, it felt as if the brakes released on the one time and then fully applied as it should have done.”
