Pontiac Aztek Power Train Axle Assembly Safety Report | Sept 20, 2007
Reported on Sept 20, 2007
| I HAVE TWO 2005 PONTIAC AWD AZTEKS . AT APROX 30,000 MILES EACH THEY STARTED TO VIBRATE .( SEPTEMBER 2007 ) HAVING JUST MOVED TO THE AREA I TOOK THE FIRST ONE TO FLETCHES . WHEN I WAS CALLED TO PICK UP THE CAR I WAS CHARGED $50.00 AND TOLD THE TIRES ARE UNSAFE ' IT IS A TIRE ISSUE . WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR I ALSO PURCHASED AN INSURANCE POLICY FROM THE DISCOUNT TIRE COMPANY . I THEN WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE PROBLEM . THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES , BUT SINCE FLETCHES PUT ON MY BILL THAT THE TIRES WERE UNSAFE THEY PUT NEW TIRES ON THE CAR FOR A PRORATED AMOUNT OF $203.20 . ON THE WAY HOME I NOTICED THAT THE CAR STILL VIBRATES . I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK .THEY GAVE ME THE $50.00 BACK BUT NOT THE AMOUNT FOR THE TIRES . ABOUT A WEEK OR SO LATER THE OTHER CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE ( MID OCTOBER) IT HAS BEEN IN NOW 3 OR 4 TIMES NOTHING HAS BEEN WORKING FOR THE FIX . I THEN CALLED PONTIAC .THEY AGREED WITH THE DEALER THAT THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE VIBRATION. I WAS TOLD DON'T TAKE IT BACK TO FLETCHES THEY WILL CALL ME IF THEY FIND OUT WHAT TO DO . I THEN TOLD THE PONTIAC REP THAT I WANTED MY $203.20 BACK FOR THE TIRES HE TOLD ME HE WOULD CALL FLETCHES AND CALL ME BACK . I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE PONTIAC REP, HE SPOKE TO BOB JOHNSON ( SERVICE MANAGER) AT FLETCHES AND HE TOLD HIM THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK BECAUSE I DID NOT BUY THE TIRES FROM FLETCHES ,IF I HAD THEY WOULD REFUND MY MONEY .THAT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THEY WERE TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME HOPING THAT I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE TIRES FROM THEM,NOT KNOWING THAT I HAD THE INSURANCE POLICY FLETCHES MISDIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AT THE START ,I BOUGHT TIRES THAT I DID NOT NEED. I WOULD LIKE MY CARS FIXED AND A REFUND FOR THE TIRES I PURCHASED. *TR | |
