| Service engine light on. taken to pontiac dealership, told it was the ecm (electronic control module) had gone bad. the ecm wiring harness plugs into a receptacle on the under carriage of the car (on drivers side, in between the front and rear seats), which is exposed to the weather elements and road debris. corrosion caused the malfunction. no repair available. $934 repair cost to fix/replace entire ecm harness. i went to the aztek owners website and saw several hundred complaints regarding this same item. some complaints were about the ecm and the bcm (body control module). ecm supposedly controls all the electronics with the brain/computer of the vehicle. since a car cannot be inspected with a service engine light on, i was forced to have it repaired$$. two days later, the awd disable light has come on. the repair agency stated the diagnostic reveals that the awd is fully operational, and no way to reset the awd light! also, the awd disable light is not an extension of the recently repaired ecm (according to the repair facility), ironically, the ecm deals with all electronics!! maybe i need a good lawyer? the car performs adequately, but if i want to trade it or sell it some day, i am going to take a hit due to the awd light being on. your website shows no other recalls on this vehicle. i hope this information i type does some good someday. *additional note: vehicle was not repaired at dealership, but was repaired by certified repair shop for $825. *nm | |||

| Dt: consumer says body module has blown three times on vehicle. consumer was on parkway when body module blew out, and vehicle and everything on car shut down. engine stopped, all lights started blinking, the hatch popped. the body module blew at 7000 miles/at 17000 miles, and again at 27000 miles. vehicle was taken to dealer three times and body module was replaced. first two times module blew was at night, the third was during the day. also, consumer says that she is having problem with fuel tank popping. tank is contracting or expanding, and nothing is relieving the pressure slowly. so when the pressure changes quickly it caused noise. consumer says this is dangerous and can cause an explosion. *ak | |||
