Used 2001 Pontiac Aztek SUV Consumer Reviews
smooth as silk but poor quality control
This vehicle has a love it/hate it design. Typical of GM there were 1st yr problems. An ABS Sensor died twice in 18 months. the rear hatch doesn't open using one push of the switch. Several computers failed. A/C compressor failed. All during warranty period but down time was a pain. Wonderful car to drive, handles well, very smooth on the road.
AWWWWSSSSOM!
Great vehicle! Fun to drive. Been all over with it. Fantastic handling etc. I average 22mpg. Great to haul with too. I have the FWD GT model. Ask me what my next vehicle will be? Another Aztek!!!! Great comfort with seats, everything within easy reach.

2001 Aztek things I learned
I bought this car in 2008, with only 63K miles on it for 5K. Needed to put on new AC condenser, which the dealership wanted $1,100. I bought a reconditioned one on ebay for $200, and then a shop installed for $75 Also I problems with steering PULLING hard left, and then hard right, until I noticed that there were two different brand of tires on front. Once I bought two new tires that matched, it drives like a dream. I still get lights that flash on the dash, I keep taking it in, and , two weeks later they come on again.
Pontiac Aztek Wind Noise
At highway speed (70 mph) the wind noise is excessive, so much that you can not talk on the cell phone or carry on a normal conversation. The manufacture calls this a wind turbulence and admits that it is there,however they will not fix or replace this defective vehicle.
Best SUV on the road
Wife bought a 2001 AWD GT and loves it. Leather seats, ice cold AC, towing package which we have used a couple times to tow a car from out of state. Drives and rides extremely comfortable, the 3.4 engine has plenty of pickup and pep.
