#351 of 360 Re: 2001 Aztec - Grinding Noise [fanala1] by jnobert Jun 04, 2009 (4:53 am)
Replying to: fanala1 (Feb 18, 2009 10:23 am) I have the same problem with my car (groaning sound from the back). My millage is at 150 000km. I took it to my mechanic and he told me to change the oil in my differential which is very costly, and this has to be done twice. they flush it and refill once. then you need to drive it for a while and then they do it all over. can someone tell me where I can find the oil at a good price. the labor is not expensive. it's only takes one hour to change the oil.
#352 of 360 Whining by fiveazteks Jun 06, 2009 (12:34 pm)
I just bought my fifth. It is a 2005 with 53,000miles and is an AWD. This one has a speed related whine coming out of the very back of the transmission or the very front of the drive shaft. This is NOT the groan that comes out of the rear end. It runs fine but these are normally a very quite car. Not this one. It is not the tires, which I thought it was since the previous owner changed brands and profile. But it made the noise on a dirt road. So I jacked it up all the way around, put it drive, and it is directly related to the speed of the vehicle. It does not change based on the gear that the transmission. is in. Strictly speed related. Any one ever had this one and knows the fix? I just found this site so I hope I can help others since I have (3) 2001's and an 2004, all still in the family.
#353 of 360 Azteks suck by aztekssuck Jul 06, 2009 (5:27 am)
I have a 2003 Aztek. My wife was driving it yesterday and the transmission started acting strange. I went down to check it out. The transmission will shift into reverse and neutral. But when I shift it into drive, it starts to shutter badly. I then went to the local dealership this morning to see if it was covered under warranty. (The owners manual says 8 years/80,000 miles) I mentioned this to the service technician and he said that it is only covered for 3 years/36,000 and the information that I had was for catalytic converters, etc. I am so furious right now. I ended up sending an e-mail to Pontiac, to let them know what I think of their products. I have told them that it will be the last Pontiac that I buy. And it is no wonder the Pontiac brand is going bye-bye. Too many cut corners and crappy products. There are numerous TSB's for the 3.4L engine, (which I had fixed for $750.00) and for the crappy transmission. just my 2 cents. Thanks for letting me vent.
#354 of 360 Grinding noise by seanbarb Jul 06, 2009 (1:32 pm)
I just signed up for this site so please forgive me if this question has already been discussed. I have a 2001 Aztek, when we are stopped but the vehicle is still running, it has a loud grinding noise. I thought the book said it had a fan that cools the car down but this is pretty loud. Is this normal? It goes away after a little bit.
#355 of 360 02 Aztek CLUNK into P D R as well as slip by sublimekitty Jul 09, 2009 (8:26 am)
I have an 02 aztek AWD and everytime i shift into park, drive or reverse i hear a clunk sound, like crunch clunk.. to me it sounds like when a pick up has a bad ujoint. Now being this vehicle is awd i dont know what this sound is from. there is no other drivetrain issues just this crunch. I hear maybe its the prop shaft? not sure what the signs of this being bad are.. my axels are seeming in good condition. I can crawl under the aztek and physically spin the driveshaft slighty and can hear the clunk when i do this. the driveshaft in these are 2 separate looking instead of one long one.     What am i hearing?? how can it be fixed?? pleaseee help!!
#356 of 360 03 Aztek by unicron100 Aug 01, 2009 (7:53 pm)
Replying to: KarenS (Apr 17, 2001 7:56 am) I was wondering on the 03 aztek was the cabin air filter a standard or optional item, i went looking behind my glove box and noticed a slot for the filter but their was no filter. so does that mean it is missing and if not can i put a filter in there? Another question I have the basic stereo system with the single slot CD player, could I replace that with the 6 disc changer head unit that came on the more loaded azteks? when i bought my car i didn't get any RKE receivers so i am assuming i do not have the keyless entry option, can i buy the receivers and program them to the car or do i have to add additional stuff like modules and such.....
#357 of 360 Gas tank filler tube corrosion by jpm1145 Oct 07, 2009 (9:49 am)
Ok, I'm getting closer to solving my emissions problems. I had a smoke test done at a friends repair center and found that the gas filler tube is leaking badly. Two years ago I got a recall notice about gas tank problems but did nothing because I never smelled gas or saw saw it dripping from the tank area. Now I'm wondering if this filler tube corrosion is part of that recall. Does anyone have any knowledge of this or had the recall 07V-349 I always thought that having the filler rube in the wheel well was kind of strange and susceptible to problems. I don't now if the filler tube is a separate part or part of the fuel tank. Can anyone help me understand this, or if you have had the recall work done, explain what happened with you. Thanks

Replying to: ray80 (Nov 28, 2005 8:04 am) I'm having the same problem with the ABS light on & the all wheel drive being disabled. Is there a way to figure out which wheel bearing/sensor it is that has gone bad with out going through each of them until the light goes off? Replies to this message: ray80 (Nov 24, 2009 4:48 pm)

Replying to: veltboy618 (Nov 21, 2009 4:55 pm) unfirtunately I think the only way to tell whicg one the system is complaining about is a dealers computer.
