PLEASE DONT BUY AN AZTEK

Well I dont even know where to begin, and will pobably cry in the middle of this somewhere.....I bought a used 2003 ponic aztek in 2006, it had 32,000 miles on it. At 68,000 miles it needed a rebuilt transmission......also had to have a thermostat put in I paid $300 for a $10 part because they have to take the whole car apart. Now in 2009 at 97,000 miiles on it, this very morning it is in the shop. Let me add that for the past month and a half it has been running horrible. I start the car, it shakes and sputter, and stalls out, when you get in it and go it hesitates, you push the gas it takes a minute to get the car moving.....when it sits at the stoplight it pulses....and shakes and rattles...... I have had it in and out of repair shops, I have spent a total of $ 2,800 which doesnt includes todays bill. The problem, no one can seem to figure out......I have already replaced the O2 sensors, I have another new thermostat, new heads, new manifold, tune up.....I cant trade it in because I owe more then its worth....so now the auto shop that specializes in electrical says...."you need an new O2 sensor, and your fuel pressure idle is too high, and your injectors need cleaned......HOWEVER......it could be the computer, you might need a new brain for the car".......ARE YOU SERIOUS????? GOD HELP ME PLEASE!!!! How did I end up with this nightmare??? Why isnt GMAC held liable for making crap??? I dont qualify for lemon law because the car is 6 years old......but I am making a payment on a vehicle that is a piece of junk...can anyone help me???

Sorry to hear about your bad luck with the Aztek. I have an 2002 Aztek with many problems, but nothing in comparing to yours. I have some suggestions for you:
1) You might want to go to a different service garage because it seem your service garage is milking you. Take it to a Pontiac dealer for the repairs because they are very familiar with the problems of the Azteks. You can also take your Aztek to a Buick or other GM dealers because the Aztek, Rendezvous and many other GM vehicles use the same kind of engine. The dealers charge you more, but they can correct the problems.
2) My Aztek's engine probably had a engine head cracked at 130,000 mile, a year after I had paid $900 for the defective of the intake manifold gasket. I decided to get a rebuild engine to eliminate the chronic engine problems and this costs me $3,000. I wanted the new parts for my new engine (betls, sensors, engine rubber blocks, wires, hoses, etc.) at an additional cost of $1,000. Total: $4,000.
I hope I won't have to deal with the engine problems for awhile and I still think that was a well spent money.

Yes, get it fixed . This is usually an issue with speed sensor on wheel/hub assembly. You may have to take it to a gm dealer for scan to determine exactly which wheel it is complaining about. The first 'fix' that will be suggested is replaceing the hub assembly,,,,,,,,,but,,,,,, many times it is an issue with the connection(s) to the sensor, loose/corroded wiring.

Solution to Key Stuck In Ignition?

We have an '04 Aztek and last year the key got stuck in the ignition - didn't know what to do - went through 2 batteries because of it. Went to a dealer and they said it was most likely the "park pawl actuator". We got a diagram printout from them and my husband removed it from the steering column, the key came out and we haven't had a problem with that issue since. Hope this helps.
