2004 Pontiac Aztek Suspension Problems

“Both front wheel bearings had be replaced at 62000. I am now having to replace the passenger side again 7 1/2 months later. The dealer told me there was a select few serial numbers on the wheel bearings that they were being replaced under a safety alert but mine was not one of them.. So even though I was having the same problem I am having to pay for mine twice.”

“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.”

Then, on september 13, 2006, I heard the same noise and vibration coming from the front drivers side of my vehicle. I brought my vehicle into the dealership again, and paid to have the front left wheel bearing replaced. …”

“On september 16, 2006 I went to the dealership where I purchased my 2004 Pontiac aztec to have an oil change done. While I was there, the maintenance manager informed me that my right wheel bearing hub assembly was going to need replaced very soon. I was shocked! Last year the left wheel bearing hub assembly needed replaced. I was very upset. I cannot believe that within 2 years both wheel bearings assemblies need replaced. I began to look on the internet and found there were several people who had similiar problems with the Pontiac aztec. This must be addressed. …”
