SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, TIRES
AFTER THE 1ST YEAR ROUTINE NYS INSPECTION, I WAS REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES. DEALER AND SUBSEQUENT CALL TO PONTIAC BOTH INDICATED THAT THE MATERIAL USED ON BRAKE PADS WEAR MORE QUICKLY SINCE THEY ARE NO LONGER MADE OF THE ASBESTOS MATERIAL. GRANTED AT 22000 MILES IT WAS SOONER THAN EXPECTED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT DUE TO FAILURE TO ROTATE MY TIRES AT THE 6000 MILE MARK, I HAD TO REPLACE 2 TIRES DUE TO WEAR. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT PASS THE NYS INSPECTION WITHOUT COMPLETING THE WORK... AM I TO EXPECT A BRAKE REPLACEMENT YEARLY? *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
THE LOCATION OF THE UNSEALED FUEL TANK FILLER VALVE ALLOWED AN OBJECT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH IT AND RIPPED THE CONNECTION UNDER THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSED FUEL TO DISPENSE FROM THE TANK.*JB

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2003 PONTIAC AZTEK AND WANTED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LATCH SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO MY OWNERS MANUAL THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE LATCH, HOWEVER IT IS MISSING THE REAR LATCH TETHERS. THE OWNERS MANUAL CLEARLY INDICATES FOR THE CENTER POSITION THE LATCH ANCHOR IS LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE SEAT ON THE FLOOR OF THE CARGO AREA, BUT THERE IS NO LATCH ANCHOR THERE. I AM NOT SURE IF SOME DESIGNER CHANGED THE POSITION OF THE LATCH ANCHOR AND DID NOT CHANGE THE OWNERS MANUAL BUT I HAVE LOOKED AND CAN FIND NO REAR LATCH ANCHOR FOR THE CENTER SEATING. *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I OWNED A PONTIAC AZTEK 2001. I USE TO NOTICE THIS CAR / SUV FREQUENTLY SWAYED WITH BREEZE - MORE SO THAN OTHER CARS I HAVE DRIVEN. ON A WINDY DAY AROUND 10:30 PM NIGHT WHILE DRIVING WITH FAMILY ON A FREEWAY (US23 S) NEAR FENTON MI, WE NOTICED EXCESSIVE FREEZING WINDS CAUSING THE THE CAR TO SWAY ABNORMALLY. FINALLY IT SWAYED WITH THE BREEZE PUSHING THE CAR TO THE NEXT LANE ( I WAS ON THE FAST LANE ON THE TWO LANE FREWAY) BUT INSTEAD OF RETURNING BACK.. IT CONTINUED THE SLIDE. IT APPEARS WE HIT A PATCH OF BLACK ICE AND WITH THE FORCE OF THE WIND WE STARTED SLIDE. THE CAR WAS SLIDING NEARLY AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE DIAGONALLY CROSS BOTH THE LANES AND CONTINUED IN THIS MANNER FOR AT LEAST 50 - 100 FT. FINALLY WIHTOUT USING THE BRAKES I MANAVEURED IT TO THE MEDIAN. MOMENT IT HIT THE MEDIAN THE FRONT TIRE UNDER ME (DRIVER) HIT A SOFT PATCH AND THE AR ROLE OVER TWICE AND FELL ON THE DRIVER SIDE CLOSE TO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES. LUCKILY ALL OF US I WAS BELTED SO WAS MY WIFE, ESCAPED UN HURT. MY CHILD 3 YRS OLD WAS BELTED ON THE CAR SEAT. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A MAJOR DENT JUST OVER MY HEAD WHERE THE CAR ROLLED OVER. FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPUSES THE CAR WAS TRASHED WITH HARDLY 7000 MILES ON IT.
