Pontiac Aztek Engine And Engine Cooling Exhaust System Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe Safety Report | Feb 02, 2005
Reported on Feb 02, 2005
| COOLANT LEAK ON PONTIAC 2001 AZTEK. THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET FAILED. I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT COULD HAVE SEIZED THE ENGINE WITH OUT WARNING. THE LOW COOLANT WARNING NEVER CAME ON EVEN AFTER I WAS ONE GALLON LOW. DEALER REPLACED GASKET FOR COST OF $730. PONTIAC WOULD NOT HELP WITH PRICING. I DID A WEB SEARCH AND FOUND A TSB ON THE GASKET WHERE GM/PONTIAC AKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM. I AM ALSO A MEMBER OF AZTEKFANCLUB.COM AND OTHER MEMEBERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE HAD PONTIAC HELP COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIR.*AK | |
