Why does my Pontiac Aztek not start up?
Holding the key in the START for 15 seconds or more at a time can drain your car’s battery sooner than expected. Also, the excessive heat that such action generates won’t do your car any good; it will just damage the starter motor. If, at first try, your Aztek doesn’t start in 10 seconds, wait for about 15 seconds before trying it again.
What kind of customer satisfaction does the Pontiac Aztek have?
For 2011, the Aztek was among the vehicles in its class to receive the highest Customer Satisfaction Index. It also bagged the “Most Appealing Entry Sport Utility Vehicle” award from J.D. Power and Associates. In fact, Pontiac Aztek scored second highest, if not highest, in all the APEAL component measures, except for exterior styling.
What to do if your Pontiac Aztek ignition switch breaks?
Check first if the key is all the way in. If it is, try to turn your steering wheel left and right while turning the key hard. Just make sure, however, to only turn the key with your hands as using any tool to do this can cause the key or the ignition switch to break. If this method still doesn’t work, take your Aztek to a repair shop.
What are the options for the Pontiac Aztek?
The latest Astek is offered in three option packes: the base, mid-, and top-level package. The base offers air conditioning, power windows and door locks and a CD player while the mid offers the additional cruise control, carpeted floor mats, multiple cargo tie-downs and storage nets and a removable console cooler.
When did the Pontiac Aztek go out of production?
Something was clearly lost in translation, which led to the model’s abbreviated production run. The Aztek lasted from 2001 to 2005, but its memory lives on in every half-baked “100 worst cars of all time” listicle cluttering up the internet.
Is the Pontiac Aztek the same as the Buick Rendezvous?
These two cars weren’t just platform-mates: They were brothers. And all things considered, the Aztek made for a mighty decent wingman for its upmarket sibling. This isn’t as crazy as it sounds. While everyone was laughing at the malformed Pontiac, Buick was cashing in with the Rendezvous.
Is the Pontiac Aztek the ugliest car ever made?
Everybody knows the story of the Pontiac Aztek, a vehicle widely considered to be one of the ugliest ever put into production—and a perfect example of an automaker bungling what seemed to be a great idea. Two decades after the apparently ill-fated vehicle’s debut, I’m going to offer a revisionist interpretation: The Pontiac Aztek won in the end.
Who is laughing now, the Pontiac Aztek?
The Pontiac Aztek: Who’s Laughing Now? Universally panned and quickly discontinued, it’s clear that, almost 20 years on, the Aztek has made fools of us all.
