| The electrical has done nothing but messed up first the radio light went out and now the the dash light is out so there is no visibilty at night to see your speed, the anti lock light stays on until the anti lock light comes on, also the all wheel drive keeps disabling, i have replace 3 of the 4 hubs that were eaten through and now its looking like another one is going. the brake light keeps coming on and dinging, i have to turn the car off and back on to get it to stop, i am eating through the brake pads because of the anti lock brakes dont turn off right away, also have problems where the car when you start it up does not start it just goes right to battery light but yet nothing wrong just glitching. i have read alot of forums on the aztek and this has been happening to alot of azteks and i have talked to people that i know that own azteks and they have alot of the same electrical problems. | |||

| My vehicle should have fallen under the lemon law due to several problems, resulting in 21 visits to the dealer in less than 3 months. besides all of these problems, i later had to take it back because when i made a short left to right turn the vehicle would die leaving me to try to steer it to safety. it was supposed to be fixed, but recently it started doing it again. this is a dangerous problem, and is threatening the lives of everyone.i am a single mom, and this is my only transportation. the vehicle now has 81,000 miles on it, and is out of warranty. this is obviously an ongoing problem, and i can't afford to have these repairs done.i would like to turn in all of my vehicle information and problems that it has had to someone. i tried to work with the dealer and pontiac's customer service for the first year, and was finally told by walt grayson at grayson pontiac that maybe i should consider an extended warranty. instead of offering to assist with the situation. i have back up for everything that has been done to the vehicle. can someone please help me?*ak | |||
