Just bought a 2003 Aztek

[EliteSofaYT]

Hey all! I just purchased a 2003 Aztek, it's my first car and honestly was the last car that I expected to own, but I'm really enjoying it. Is there anything that I need to be wary of at 170K? does anyone have any issues with the sunroof or gauges? Specifically, the gauge cluster seems to be dead none of them move, and the sunroof tries to open but "can't". it aso has a fuel system recall on it that needs to be handled, has anyone paid for this recall to be performed?? Thanks for any help or replies!

Welcome to the forum.
There are no costs related to recalls.
Generally speaking any car that is 13 years old and has 170k on it may have the issues you have mentioned.
You have to check for obstructions in the sun roof track to start with.
Concerning the gauges, have you checked for a blown fuse?
In case you dont have the owners manual, the link below provides one.

The fuses are all fine, and the sunroof tracks seem like a good place to start, the sunshade is also out of alignment, so I'm wondering if they're both involved in the malfunction of my sunroof
