Thanks for your reply - over the last year we have replaced the AC, the heater core, the thermostat (twice) and the damper - and yet the problem persists. Most recently we had the thermometer and damper replaced and the problem was 75% improved but now it has gotten bad again. It starts out as steam but because of the cold climate we live in it soon frosts up. At times we are scraping the window on the inside while we drive just so we can see. I don't believe it is too much moisture in the cabin. If that were the case everyone where I live would have the same issue cuz we always have a ton of snow from our boots. I live in northern Canada. Apparently the manifold is leaking, our mechanic felt it was not a serious enough issue to replace it. My question is - could it be leaking on the heater and creating steam? Sue

Wow, I read your post and at first I thought I was re-reading a post I had written. We have been having the exact same problems. If you solve the mystery please let me know. We have replaced everything heater/AC related and yet the problem persists. Sue

If the intake manifold gasket(s) were leaking bad enough I suppose some of the moisture could sneak in with fresh air supply, I still think you would smell it though. Also you would notice vapor coming from engine bay after shutting off warm vehicle. When is the last time cabin air filter(s) were changed?

BREAKTHROUGH:
My mechanic is a 31 year GM Veteran. He couldn't figure out the problem, and checked all the things you have listed as well. He called a guy who GM dealerships would go to to find leaks, and sure enough he discoverd that the entire sunroof leaked and that the water was seeping in and running down the walls of the interior of the car and soaking the carpet and underlayment. This caused the tremendous frosting of the interior especially on really cold days, and steamy windows when it was in the 20's and 30's. The sun roof and all seals have been replaced now. My car was a 2003. Hopefully it will solve the problem. Carpets have been dried out the best possible and portions raised, however unless we totally remove the seats and all of the carpet at once, I fear the problem will continue until summer heat really dries it out.

Hi all,
i'm a pontiac owner with an aztek 2004 model. recently i experienced that my SUV's speed depreciates when i press very hard on the accelerator (it further slows down instead of moving very fast). I'd like what might be the problem coz i was told its the control box.
 
Can somebody help me on this?
 
Thanks.

Aztek ignition jammed up by BarbaraMeints

Went to start the vehicle and it died out but when I tried to turn the key to off position and then try to restart it, it got stuck and wont go back to off. After several attempts we did manage to get the key out (still not in off position) and even turning to on, car turns over ( if my husbands tries to start it underneath) but will not start and will not go back into the off position. Please help

This happens fairly often when there is a electrical power problem. Most likely its a battery/charging system issue. It may also be a bad cable connection. either on battery or possibly the underhood fuse box.

Thanks to all of you here on this site I now have my Aztek back on the road . I read through various post and what the guys said to check for and believe it or not it was just a #42 fuse. I figured we would go back and check everything once again before taking it to the dealership. So for under $5.00 I'm back on the road. This site is the best.... Thanks again!!!!!!!!!

2005 aztek squeeking noise by eshelton
Feb 13, 2009 (11:55 am)

I have a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. I bought it brand new and have 72,000 miles on it. I just recently started hearing a faintly squeeking noise, so i took it in and they told me I needed a new belt. After a week and a half the squeeking came back, and the place I took it to reffered me to the dealership. The dealership was quick to tell me that I need a new A/C compressor, and that would be $1200!! They said the ac compressor has a hole in it. After not having $1200 and by now a horrible squeeking noise I took it to another shop that is family owned. They said they are not for sure that it is the ac compressor and that I needed a new tensioner and belt. So I forked out $250 and did it. Last night I heard the faint squeeking noise come back, and so far today I just haven't driven it. I just want to go around town squeek-free? Any ideas on what it could be? HELP!
