Known issues on the 2002 Aztek. Owners lodged 121 complaints about the 2002 Aztek, with engine and engine cooling at 21, suspension at 20 and the gasoline fuel system at 19; 2 of those complaints reported a crash, 1 a fire and 2 an injury. The federal record also holds 2 recalls. One recalled certain 2002 Aztek vehicles because the check valve at the fuel tank inlet could fracture, whether from production variation or high heat, letting fuel vapor and droplets escape where an ignition source could light them. The other recalled certain 2002 Aztek vehicles to supply an owner's manual insert explaining the child seat anchor symbols. Cooling, suspension and fuel system procedures and specifications in the manual apply.
