#358 of 366 Re: PLEASE DONT BUY AN AZTEK [ellar] by ttmich Oct 24, 2009 (1:23 pm)
Replying to: ellar (Oct 21, 2009 8:28 am) 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.

Replying to: ben69romero (Nov 05, 2009 2:31 pm) 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.

#363 of 366 Solution to Key Stuck In Ignition? by pastfrustrated Nov 30, 2009 (9:16 am)
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.

Replying to: likearainbow (Nov 21, 2007 6:16 am) I also have a 2001 Aztek and could really use that information too.. I am having the same BCM problems and a new problem where my car shows no temperature on the guage and the fan will run after the car is shut off. I replaced the temp. sensor and thermostat, but that was not it.... anybody??? Replies to this message: jbgheen7 (Dec 08, 2009 5:45 pm)

Replying to: vschizz222 (Dec 06, 2009 11:08 pm) did you happen to find out what its was? did you get the fan to stop running after it is turned on? mine is doing the same thing and i dont want to replace the thermostat if that wont do anything. my thermostat gauges does not register...stays on cold all all the time. but the heater is working fine and the coolant level is good. just when turn off the car, the fan continues to runs for a while. even if i just drive down my street. so i am sure it is running the entire time the car is on. i have noticed that i am getting a lot worse gas mileage, but that seems to be the only affect right now. please help
#366 of 366 Cooling Fans Won't Stop by TexasRaider Dec 08, 2009 (5:59 pm)
Yes, I talked to my mechanic and he said at times when the weather changes, the thermostat is not functioning exactly correctly, and the computer misinterprets it as the engine overheating. It therefore goes into a 'protection' mode, turning on both fans, even after the car is off for a while. I confirmed this because after just a little while I can use an Autozone code reader to read and erase the codes (usually says not enough coolant, temp.sensor malfunction, etc) and as soon as I turn the car on it fine, no service engine light, fans are normal. To check it, just disconnect the postive lead on your battery for about 10 minutes, reconnect, start and drive. If all is OK, then the codes were false. My mechanic told me it was either a faulty temp. sensor or the thermostat...put in a fresh sensor, did it again, so it's the thermostat I'm pretty sure. Let me know if that works!
