| I have a 2003 Aztek that has only 83,000 km on it - i've owned it since new and really love it. 1 1/2 years ago GM replaced the manifold intake valve (under warranty) - now this year i had to replace the rocker gasket as my #4 cylinder didn't have any compression (that cost $800) now my #6 cylinder has no compression. So i don't know what to do - how is it that a car that is just 5 years old and doesn't have high kilometers has engine problems - and more than once. GM says they probably won't pay for it - they really need to stand behind their products. I'm really worried that I am going to have more engine problems in the future...anyone else experiencing this? | |

Hello everyone, I hope someone out here can help. My wife purchased a Aztek Fwd 3.4 about 6 months ago, and it's been falling apart since. The major problem now is that it will not start. We had a bad storm and she got stuck in the mud now the abs and trac light will not turn off (I am checking the sensors tomorrow). The next day she was driving down the street and the whole car just turned off/ stopped running in the middle of the road. Try to start it now and still nothing. Key was also stuck in the ignition. (I had to pull the bottom panel from the steering column, and I was able to get the key out). The lights, radio, locks all still work, it just wont start. There is no noise from the starter at all not even a click. Just turn the key & nothing. I checked all cables to the battery, little corrosion nothing major. I cleaned up the corrosion and replaced the battery still will not start. I also got under the Aztek and checked the wires to the starter all of them are clean with no corrosion. I am leaning towards the BCM, ECM or EBCM? Anyone with any idea's Oh by the way I have been doing alot of research on the Aztek and all seems bad! Most seem to fall apart around 50,000 miles. |

I have 2002 Aztek with a jammed ignition lock, the dealership said that it was so jammed that they couldn't get it off the steering column to replace. So they were going to have to replace the entire steering column just to fix the ignition issue, this just seems so b.s. to me. They have said they have tried everything and this is the only fix for this. So instead of a $300-$400 fix, it would be $1200.00 to replace a part that wasn't broke to begin with (steering column). That price is for parts and labor. Has anyone had this issue and how far of a ride our they taking me on???
