Aztek

  • Automatic transmission
  • 26,000 miles
While driving at approximately 60 mph gauges malfunctioned. The temperature gauge went way up, and the vehicle overheated. Steering wheel locked up, and vehicle stalled. Driver had to wait 20 minutes to an hour before the vehicle would start up again. Owner drove the vehicle back to the dealer, and was informed that the computer wasn't talking to the diagnostic. Dealer told the owner that the defects were taken care of. Yet, these problems still existed. Also, owner was informed that the intake manifold was defective. Vehicle was out of warranty.
