“I purchased a 2004 Pontiac Aztek in june of 2005 with 18k on the unit I drove mostly highway miles for my job in all of 05' and the beginning of 06' I had to have the front left wheel bearing replaced in june of 06' and then the front right side needs to be replaced in jan/ feb. Of 07' this is not acceptable the vehicle is barely out of warranty and is falling apart / also the rear hatch is failing the hatch will not open properly when the button is pushed or you have to pull up on the hatch when you push the button / very frustrating.”
