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"
