| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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 |
