MY MAIN TEMP GAUAGES IS ACTING HAYWIRE. THE RADIATOR TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE (BASED ON A WALL CLOCK) 0 (12) TO 6 HAND POSITION WITH 0 BEING HOT AND 6 COLD. GAS GAUGE IS FROM THE 6 TO 12. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE HAS FLIPPED OVER TO THE 10 OR 11 POSITION SUCH THAT WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL, THAT NEEDLE CAN'T EVEN GO ALL THE WAY TO THE 12 POSITION BECAUSE IT IS BLOCKED BY THE TEMPERATURE GUAGE. I HAVE NO IDEA IF MY CAR IS OVERHEATING OR IF THE TEMP GAUGE IS AFFECTING THE GASOLINE LEVEL GAUGE.

I ACTUALLY GOT ON THE SITE TO RESEARCH RECALLS ON ANOTHER VEHICLE WE RECENTLY PURCHASED AND OUT OF CURIOSITY INCLUDED THE AZTEC WE STILL OWN. NO RECALLS SHOWED? I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT SINCE IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FROM DAY 1. JUST AS ALL OTHERS DESCRIBED THE IGNITION MESSES UP ALL THE TIME. MY GAUGES GO CRAZY! WILL SHOW NO GAS AND IT WILL BE FULL OR IT WILL GO WAY OVER FULL INTO OTHER GAUGES. SPEED GOES CRAZY I COULD BE DOING 25 AND IT WILL SAY 80. THE BELT...,,,, I HAVE LITTER ALLY REPLACED IT EVERY 4 MONTHS AFTER OWNING THE CAR A YEAR AND EVERYONE SAYS "YOU SURE IT IS'NT RECALLED ?" SO GLAD I DO NOT HAVE TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE BUT IF SOMEONE ELSE DOES THEY WILL BE IN JUST AS MUCH DANGER AS WE WERE! NOW WE OWN A JEEP THAT HAS A RECALL THAT WAS RECALLED IN 2014 BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX IT WITH!!! OH AND YES IT'S THE IGNITION.

THE VEHICLE HAS SEEMED TO STALL TWICE. UPON FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH THE DRIVER, THE STEERING ALSO LOCKED. THIS SEEMED SIMILAR OF THE SAME AS THE GM RECALL FOR FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES AND KEY SLOTS. PONTIAC WAS CONTACTED BUT THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER A RECALL, WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THAT REPAIRS WOULD BE THE EXPENSE OF THE OWNER. PONTIAC DID NOT SEEM CONCERNED ABOUT A POTENTIAL EXTENSION OF THE GM RECALL LIST. WOULDN'T YOU THINK THAT GM WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN UNDERSTANDING IF THE PONTIAC AZTEK IS AFFECTED. WE ARE NOW VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THE PONTIAC AZTEK. *TR

I WAS LEAVING SCHOOL AND I STARTED TO SMELL GAS, SO I STOPPED AND CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY LEAKING AND THERE WASN'T. A WEEK HAD WENT BY AND I DIDN'T SMELL THE GAS ANYMORE BUT MY RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS HAD QUIT WORKING. SO I HAD THE FUSES CHANGED AND THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED WORKING AGAIN BUT NOT THE RADIO. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER MY TEMP GAUGE STARTED SHOOTING ALL THE WAY UP TO HOT RIGHT AFTER IT WAS CRANKED. SO I HAD IT CHECKED AND MY VEHICLE WASN'T RUNNING HOT. THE ONE NIGHT I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM TOWN AND MY CAR SHUT OFF AND A TEMP LIGHT WAS BLINKING. I POPPED THE HOOD AND MY HOSES FROM THE RADIATOR TO THE MOTOR HAD BUSTED FROM ALL THE PRESSURE BUILT UP.
