| When i bought my 2001 aztek in september 2001, i was told by the salesperson that it would be a dependable durable car. it has been anything but. will not keep alignment so the tires have worn prematurely. the seal around the passenger door leaked causing carpet damage which was not replaced by the dealership. air conditioner condenser had a crack and one week after replacement, the car ran hot. luckily, all of this happened under warranty. one week after the condenser was replaced, the car ran hot. one week after the intake was fixed, it ran hot again. the dealership service department added coolant and sent me on my way. the same day it ran hot again (saturday). i took the car back in on monday morning at 35,946 miles. they drove the car 33 miles to see if the car would get hot. it was returned to me with 35,979 miles and they could not duplicate the problem. i have also had brake failure, the transmission is slipping, there is a ticking noise underneath in front and back, and the car feels unstable on the road. overall i feel very unsafe in the car and would like for the dealer to buy the car back at full purchase price. *jb | |||
