7/18/2010 - Not Happy
Hello,

When I first got my aztek I was so happy because to me it's so cute, I haven't had it one year good and it starts to give alot of engine problems, I'm not happy:(

Do you drive a 2003 PONTIAC AZTEK?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
