1996 GMAC SONOMA AIR BAG SENSOR RIVET FAILURE. FOUND DRIVERS SIDE SENSOR HANGING FROM ELECTRICAL LEAD, WHEN I INSPECTED THE MOUNTING AREA I FOUND THAT THE TWO RIVETS THAT SECURE THE SENSOR WERE SHEARED OFF. I INSPECTED THE OTHER SENSOR MOUNTING AND FOUND THAT ONE OF THE TWO RIVETS WAS ALSO SHEARED OFF. NO FRONT END IMPACT HAD OCCURRED AND NO INDICATIONS WERE NOTED. *JB

MY ENGINE HAS BEEN SURGING, SLOW START, RATTLING, ROUGH IDLE, HARD SHIFTING, AND I HAVE HAD THE TRASMISSION REPLACED 3 TIMES. MY DEALER TOLD ME AFTER AN INSPECTION THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, BUT IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME. GO FIGURE! I HAVE PROOF OF THE NEW TRASMISSIONS. NOW THE COMPRESSOR IS CRACKED, AND IT WILL NOT HOLD COOLANT, AND I CAN HARDLY GET THE TRUCK GOING AFTER SITTING ALL NIGHT. THESE REPAIRS ARE COSTING ALOT OF MONEY, AND I AM STILL PAYING FOR THIS TRUCK. IT IS NOT WORTH THE COST OF REPAIRS.

ABS ANTI-BRAKE SYSTEM HAS FAILED. LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY STAYS ON. ANALYSIS HAS DETERMINED THAT THREE OF THE FOUR SENSORS ARE BAD. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. ALSO ANALYSIS HAS DETERMINED THAT THE CATALICTIC CONVERTER IS DEFECTIVE, CAUSING THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON "LIGHT" TO BE ON CONTINUOUSLY.

MY TIMING TENSIONER KEEPS WEARING OUT AFTER ABOUT 15,000 MILES, IT STARTED WHEN I BOUGHT MY TRUCK IN 96 AROUND 25,000 MILES I NOTICE A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE,I TOOK THE TRUCK IS TO THE SERVICE DEPT. THEY TOLD ME I WAS USING THE WRONG OIL FILTER,HA HA. THEY DID SOMETHING TO THE TRUCK BUT THE TICKING STOP UNTIL 36,000 MILES AND THEN MY WARRANTY WAS GONE. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER 7 TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK EVER SINCE MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED,THE TENSIONER BROKE ONE TIME WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY,BENT TWO VALVES,AND A HEAD JOB LATER STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE I MAY HAVE BOUGHT A LEMON. THIS MAY NOT BE ON ALL TRUCKS BUT IT SURE HAS HAPPEN TO MINE. ITS LIKE THE TIMING SYSTEM DOES NOT LINE UP. TO WEAR THE TENSIONER IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. I HAVE REPLACED WITH GM PARTS. *LA

THE ENGINE HAS A MISS IN IT SOMETIMES IT WILL QUIT AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT A HALF HOUR FOR IT TO START AGAIN WE HAVE PUT A NEW COIL, FUEL PUMP, FUEL FILTER, AND A MODULE IT DID NOT FIX IT. WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX IT.

MY TRUCK HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS THE OTHER 1.2 MILLION RECALLED S10 & S15 TRUCKS BUT GMC CORP. SAYS THAT IT IS NOT RELATED. ( NHTSA RECALL #98V150001) I FEEL THAT THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO COVER TRUCKS OF THE SAME YEAR THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE GMC RECALL IS FOR TRUCKS BUILD FROM 8-94 TO 5-96. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED BECAUSE SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, ELECTRICAL PROBLEM RELATED TO POSITIONING OF MOTOR(ELECTRIC). I WAS TOLD BY AN AUTOPARTS DEALER THAT THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS OF BAD MOTORS. I KNOW OF TWO FRIENDS WITH SIMILAR VEHICELS (CHEVY BLAZER AND CHEVY S-10 TRUCK) WHO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. WIPERS WILL WORK FINE SOMETIMES AND THEN JUST STOP IN MID-STROKE. I WAS DRIVING IN RAINY CONDITIONS WHEN FIRST OCCURRED. I MOVED WIRING AND THE WIPERS WOULD CUT ON AND OFF, I FOUND THAT IT IS THE WIPER MOTOR HOUSING AND NOT THE WIRES. WEDGED A STICK BETWEEN WIPER MOTOR AND HOUSING AND THEY WORKED FOR A WHILE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SPECIFICALLY TO THIS STYLE OF VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY A VERY HAZARDOUS ONE TOO. IF ALL OF THE AUTO PARTS DEALERS ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THIS IS TRUE MAYBE SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT IT BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED BECAUSE OF WINDSHIELD WIPER FAILURE!*AK

TRANSMISSION FAILS/LOCKS/STALLS DUE TO SPRING THAT ENGAGES TORQUE CONVERTER DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGHT TOLERANCE FOR THIS TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION SHOP REPAIRED 4 TRANSMISSIONS WITH IDENTICAL DEFECT IN THE SMALL TOWN OF LAFAYETTE JUST THIS PAST WEEK. THIS DEFECT MUST BE QUITE WIDESPREAD!*AK

THEY STATE THAT DEALERSHIPS REGULARLY DENY ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAILURE. MY VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY WELL CARED FOR, NOT ABUSED IN ANY WAY, AND HAS EXPERIENCED DEFECTS, WHICH IN MY OPINION DEMONSTRATE GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF GMC'S ENGINEERING/PRODUCTION.

THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS ALSO BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE 1995-96 GMC JIMMYS OF WHICH THE SONOMA IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. GMC AS WELL AS THE DEALER HAVE REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH INFORMATION FROM THIS SITE WAS PRESENTED TO BOTH THE GMC. DEALER AND THE GMC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER.

THIS IS AN UPDATE TO A PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED REPORT FOR ABS FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE. THE INCIDENT DATE ON THIS REPORT IS APPROXIMATE. THE TWO WIRES TO THE RIGHT FRONT ABS SENSOR WERE SEVERED BY INTERFERENCE WITH THE UPPER CONTROL ARM AND THE DISK BRAKE BACK PLATE/SPLASH SHIELD, TO WHICH THE WIRING IS ATTACHED WITH RIVETED METAL CLIPS.
