Well now I've really got a problem with my 2002 Aztek. They said that because the oil and coolant have already mixed (they ran a test), it would cost $2200 to fix that now whole situation now (another gasket below it is blown). This does not include fixing the wheel bearings or anthing else. Help!

Sounds like the head gasket is gone also. Assuming you are working with GM dealer you could ask them nicely if Pontiac could assist in covering some of the expense. If they won't , you could call yourself and ask (nicely). Its ok to try and be persistant as long as you are nice about it.

Yep, that's exactly what I did just about an hour before I got your message. The service manager said he is going to see what he can figure out and call back soon. I was glad that I was able to remain nice about it while in such a panic!
 
Did you say that, specifically, "Pontiac" could assist? I'm confused about the different arms of GM, who makes decisions about what, and who is in the best position to move on this quickly.
 
Hopefully I'll get some good news and they will back up their product and their work!
Thank you.

Yes , Pontiac seeing as how its their vehicle. I know some (when their vehicles were younger) had called the Pontiac assistance line and managed to get some help for things like this.

We are needing to replace the BCM on a 2004 Aztek. Can anyone tell me where it is located and how to get to it?

Check in the Electrical problems. I'll also send you my write-up on the removal and installation if you send me your email address.

Joe,
 
I'd like your write up on the installation of the BCM for my 2001 Aztek if you can send it.
 
Thanks,
Dave

Hi there! I own an '03 Aztek and was quite surprised to be told by my repairman a few weeks ago that my Intake Manifold Gasket needed to be replaced!! Yikes!
 
By a stroke of sheer luck, I came across an article about the class-action suit regarding this when I received my latest issue of "Parents" today. I have done some research this evening, and have seen in some forums that the repairs needed to be completed before 5/30/08. I've also read through the information on the dexcoolsettlement website, and couldn't find any 'cut-off' dates other than when you can file a claim, or the amount you get depending on when you had the repair done. If I am to receive the max amount they will offer, I need to get this fixed before 7/05/08. This will be the 5th anniversary of my purchase. Talk about cutting it close!!
 
So my question is, have I really passed the cut-off date for reimbursement, or should I at least try to get some money out if this? My step-father works for GM, and when I called him tonight, he mentioned possibly going to my dealer and asking them about a 'silent warranty' for this type of repair??? Anyone have any experience with that?
 
Any and all advice is appreciated!
Kim

Hey, thanks Steve!! That was pretty informative.
 
 I'm not sure I qualify for the "dealer-loyalty" thing, though. We moved out-of-state for a few years just 2 years after I purchased the vehicle, but before that, I went to my dealer for everything. Now we are back in the same 'general' area as before, but far enough away that it's inconvenient to visit my old dealership. I will definitely have it looked at by a Pontiac dealer closer to my home now, though!
