Aztek

  • 38,000 miles
2003 Pontiac Aztek. Took in due to fluid leaking into oil and causing it to look like a "milky" substance. Told that these vehicles are known for this issue and that the problem was with the intake manifold gasket. Had that replaced (over $1,000) - then discovered still a leak - now they are saying it probably needs an engine. The vehicle is not even 10yrs old. I read another description similar to this. How many individuals have to be gouged before something can be done about this. If this is a known problem with these vehicles, seems like something needs to be done to stop the manufacturer from preying on their customers.

Aztek

I bought a used 2003 Pontiac aztec 6 months ago, and found out recently that there is a lot of known problems with the orange anti-freeze eating away at the tubes and gaskets of the engine. We are currently having to pay over $700 to fix this known problem. I think someone needs to investigate this issue and a recall needs to be done.
