Pontiac Aztek Fuel System, Gasoline Delivery Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings Safety Report | Jan 21, 2005
Reported on Jan 21, 2005
| 1. DRIVING ON CITY STREET AND HIT A GOLF BALL SIZE ROCK 2. GAS TANK WAS PUNCTURED, AND BRAKE LINE WAS CRUSHED. DROVE FOR 4 MORE MILES BEFORE WE SMELLED THE GAS AND GOT OUT AND SAW IT SPRAYING OUT FROM THE SIDE OF THE CAR. THE FACT THAT IT DIDN'T EXPLODE IS A MIRACLE, I WAS WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD SON. 3. THE PONTIAC AZTEK, WHICH THIS CAR IS, IS PROMOTED AND ADVERTISED AS A VEHICLE FOR GOING OFF ROUD THROUGH DIRT ROADS AND STREAMS, THIS HAPPENED DRIVING ALONG A CITY STREET. THE MANUFATURER WON'T FIX THIS PROBLEM, TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE A FUNDAMENTAL, AND POTENTIALLY DESIGN FLAW. HAD MY CAR EXPLODED AND KILLED ME AND MY SON, WOULD PONTIAC HAVE PAID ATTENTION TO THE PROBLEM THEN? DOES IT TAKE A DEATH TO GET THEIR ATTENTION ABOUT A SERIOUS PROBLEM?*AK | |
