Defect. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN 4-WHEEL DRIVE PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) MANUFACTURED FROM SEPTEMBER 1989 THROUGH AUGUST 1996. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS THE SWITCH WHICH SIGNALS THE ABS SYSTEM WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS IN 2-WHEEL OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE CAN MALFUNCTION CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS WHILE IN THE TWO-WHEEL DRIVE MODE.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE OR REPAIR THE 4-WHEEL/2-WHEEL DRIVE SWITCH.

Defect. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAFETY ACT. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CERTAIN LIGHT DUTY PICKUP TRUCKS, SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, OR MINIVANS EQUIPPED WITH 3-SENSOR ABS (ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM) EBC4 UNITS.

Risk. THESE VEHICLES CAN EXPERIENCE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCES DURING ABS STOPS ON CERTAIN MULTIPLE SURFACES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

DRIVING MY 1994 SONOMA AT APPROX 50 MPH ON A HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE GAS PEDAL STARTED TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY FOOT AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN (AS IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS TAKING OVER). I THINK THAT I THEN TAPPED THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE WENT BACK TO NORMAL SPEED, WHICH WAS TO DECELERATE AS MY FOOT WAS STILL OFF THE GAS PEDAL. I DO NOT USE CRUISE CONTROL, BUT CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WAS IN THE ON POSITION. I HAVE SINCE SWITCHED CRUISE CONTROL TO OFF POSITION AND DISCONNECTED CRUISE CONTROL MODULE HARNESS, AND WILL LEAVE IT DISCONNECTED.

ABS LIGHT IS ON AND DEALER CLAIMS MY 1994 GMC SONOMA NEEDS A $2,200 ABS COMPUTER REPLACED. THERE WAS RECALL ON THE ABS MODULE IN 7/00. I BELIEVE THIS RECALL AFFECTED THE ABS COMPUTER THAT NOW NEEDS REPLACING AND I'M ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE FROM GMC ON SHARING THE REPLACEMENT COSTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 GMC SONOMA. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING WHILE IN USE. THE FAILURE OCCURS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE WIPERS CAN TAKE 30 SECONDS TO ACTIVATE AGAIN, BUT OTHER TIMES, THE CONTACT HAS TO WIGGLE AND MOVE THE WIPER MOTOR FOR THEM TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT NO RECALL WAS AVAILABLE; HOWEVER, THEY BEGAN RECALLING THE 1995 MODELS. THE WIPERS HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT (GOING APPROX 20 MPH) WHEN THE THROTTLE STUCK AND QUICKLY SURGED TO RED LINE. I SHUT OFF THE IGNITION AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TACHOMETER WAS PEGGED OUT. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE (~8 YEARS AGO) WHILE I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE ON A RURAL HIGHWAY. DURING THAT INCIDENT I ALSO SHUT OFF THE IGNITION BUT ACCIDENTALLY LOCKED THE STEERING WHEEL AND ENDED UP IN THE DITCH. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE DURING THAT INCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS GOING ABOUT 60 MPH AND HAD NO POWER BRAKES SINCE THE IGNITION WAS OFF. I WAS UNHURT BUT THE VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED DURING THAT INCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION BUT THEY FOUND NOTHING AT THAT TIME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW. *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS OPERATED INTERMITTENTLY; WORSENED WITH RAINFALL AMOUNT. REPLACED WIPER MOTOR AND CONDITION PERSISTED. CONTACTED GMC WITH CONCERN ON 10/18/2005 (FILE #1-369184131). *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 1994 GMC SONOMA. THE CONSUMER IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. SOMETIMES WHEN SHE IS TRYING TO STOP, IT WILL EXCESSIVE FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE HER 125 DOLLARS TO LOOK AT IT. IN TWO MONTHS SHE HAS HAD THE BRAKES REPLACED THREE TIMES. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS, PADS, DRUMS, EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE AND NOTHING SEEMED TO HELP. THE ABS LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON. GMC STATED THE CONSUMERS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN WITH THE RECALL BECAUSE HER VEHICLE WAS TOO OLD AND A LOT OF MILES ON IT. THE SHOCKS HAVE ALSO BEEN REPLACED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS ARE 99I006000 AND 99V193000. *JB

DT: THIS IS A GMC S15 SONOMA 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRUCK. WHEN THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKES, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS ONE OF THE 4 WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. *JB

AT 35 MPH PASSANGER LOWER BALL JOINT FAILED AND RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE BEING DISABLED AND TOWED FROM FROM ROAD. 94 SONOMA 2.2 LITER WITH 180,000 MILES. I HAD NO CLUE AS TO THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO RUN FINE JUST BEFORE THE FAILURE.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL TO OPERATE OFTEN OR FAIL WHILE IN OPERATION ON 1994 GMC SONOMA. RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR SAME PROBLEM ON 1995 AND NEWER MODELS, BUT NOT ON 1994 MODELS WHICH HAVE THE SAME COMPONENTS. *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED IN CENTER OF WINDSHIELD OR PARK IN CENTER OF WINDSHIELD. *AK

MY WINSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING AND THEN START WORKING AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE NHTSA HAD FOUND AND ISSUED A RECALL FOR FOR A TRUCK THAT IS 1 YR YOUNGER THAN MINE. GMC SAYS ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEFECT WITH ITS WINDSHIELD WIPERS AS STATED IN RECALL 03 V 159 000; BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK

WIPERS WILL STOP WORKING AND THEN BEGIN WORKING AGAIN. PROBLEM HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR SOME TIME. *NLM

EVERY TIME THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY. *TT

PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER. ALSO THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR BUT CONSUMER'S VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED. *TT

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING AT RANDOM. I HAD THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED (CIRCUIT BOARD SOLDER/CONNECTION FAILURE) AT MY OWN EXPENSE. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM COVERED BY TWO (1998 AND APR 03) RECALLS, BUT THIS TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR SOME REASON, DESPITE BEING THE SAME DESIGN AS THE 95-ON MODEL THAT IS COVERED. *JB

OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPING OR LOCKING UP INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN USE. I'VE HAD MY MECHANIC CHECK THIS PROBLEM SEVERAL TIMES, BUT HE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AS IT IS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. I HEARD ABOUT A GM RECALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I NOTIFIED GM AND THEY SAID THAT MY VEHICLE 1994 GMC SONOMA VIN [XXX] WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE ONE COVERED BY THE RECALL. *NLM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING. THEY WILL SOMETIMES START WORKING AGAIN IF YOU JIGGLE THE CONNECTOR WIRE TO THE WIPER MOTOR. THE 1995 AND NEWER MODELS HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT DOES NOT EXTEND TO THE 94 YEAR. *NLM

THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH MADE THE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. *JB FORD RECALLED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ALUMINUM HEAD/STEEL BLOCK AND COULD THE CAUSE OF THE GASKET GOING OUT. SCC

THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THEH VEHICLE TO SLIDE INTO A FENCE AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO CONSUMER'S VEHICLE.*JB

CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING THAT THE BRAKE IS TO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATION PEDAL CAUSING ACCIDENT. TS

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE WIPER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS DURING OPERATION. DEALER NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT COVER UNDER A MANUFACTUERER RECALL. *NLM

INTERMITTENTLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS COMES ON AND OFF. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.*JB *JB

ANTI-LOCK LIGHT GOES ON & BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG, TOOK IT HOME LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN & NO BRAKES, TWICE I ALMOST KILLED MYSELF. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER THEY THEN FOUND THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD IT WAS HUB BEARING WORN & RUBBING ON THE ANTI-LOCK SENSOR. I DO NOT THINK THAT SHOULD MAKE MY BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR. MY BRAKES WERE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF NOISE OR WEAR ON THE HUB BEARINGS.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

WINSHIELD WIPERS OFTEN DO NOT WORK, BUT WILL START WORKING IF YOU JIGGLE THE WIRE CONNECTOR TO THE WIPER MOTOR. RECALL APPLIES TO 1995 MODEL, NOT 1994, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM.*AK

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNINGS IT WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

FUEL TANK BEGAN LEAKING AT FRONT SEAM WHERE TANK IS PRESSED TOGTHER DUE TO CORROSION. CORROSION WAS FURTHER EXASBERATED BY LACK OF DRAINAGE HOLES IN PLASTIC FUEL TANK PROTECTIVE COVER WHICH ACCUMULATES WATER AND DEBRIS.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY VIRTUALLY EVERY TIME THEY ARE USED.*AK

THE ABS BRAKES THAT GMC PUT ON THIS PICKUP APPEAR TO BE MISS CALIBRATED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THE BRAKES APPEAR TO WORK FINE AT HIGH SPEEDS. IT IS A DIFFERENT STORY WHEN YOU TRY TO STOP WHEN THE SPEED DROPS. DRY PAVEMENT WITH SAND ON IT THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS EXTENDED. THE LOCAL DEALER FOUND AN SPECIAL FACTORY ORDER AND REPLACED THE BRAKE BRAIN WHICH DIDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING. THE BRAKE PADS ON THE FRONT ARE NEW AND THE REAR SHOES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. WHEN YOU TRY TO DRIVE ON THE ANTIFREEZE COMPOUND THE STATE AND CITY APPLY TO THE STREETS MAKES IT A REAL CHALLANGE TO EVEN SLOW DOWN WITH OUT FRONT BRAKE LOCK UP. I CARRY ABOUT 400# OF WEIGHT IN THE WINTER TO FACILTATE STARTING AND STOPPING. LAST WINTER I WAS COMING DOWN A HILL VERY SLOWLY AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND FRONT WHEEL LOCKUP AND THE BACK WHEELS DIDN'T STOP BUT TURNED SLOWLY LEAVING TREAD MARKS. THE REARS DIDN'T SLIDE AT ALL AS I SLIDE OFF THE ROAD IN THE A SNOW BANK. I TRY NOT TO DRIVE THE PICKUP IN THE WINTER BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A WRECK. EVERY TIME I TRY AND STOP IN THE WINTER IT IS A THRILL. MY CAR HAS ABS AND I KNOW HOW ABS SHOULD WORK. THIS PICKUP IS THE GREATEST TRUCK I HAVE EVERY OWNED EXCEPT FOR THE BRAKES. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT MY TRUCK HAS MANY MILES ON IT, BUT IT IS WELL MAINTAINED. GMC SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME OUT WITH A FIX FOR THE BRAKES BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO PARK THE TRUCK OR JUNK IT. THANK YOU.

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR INTERMITTENT.. SHUTS DOWN BY ITSELF. SAME AS PROBLEM WITH '1995 - '1996 RECALL FOR SAME ITEM. THIS IS SECOND AC/DELCO WIPER MOTOR TO FAIL ON ME. SAME PROBLEM. MOTOR JUST STOPS WORKING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. SEEMS LIKE MOTORS WORK WELL FOR APPROX. 3 TO 4 YEARS THEN GO INTO INTERMITTENT MODE. VERY HAZARDOUS DURING HEAVY RAIN SITUATION.*AK

ENGINE WAS IDLING ROUGH AND STALLING. GMC FEELS IT'S OXYGENATED FUEL MAYBE CONTAMINATED. GMC ISN'T SURE, THIS WAS AN ASSUMPTION BASED ON ENVIRONMENT. PARTS ARE BEING SHIPPED.*AK

RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE, THAT GOES FROM METAL TUBING TO PLASTIC AND ATTACHES TO WHEEL, WORE THROUGH, CAUSING PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR, AND RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *AK

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR HAS FAILED TWICE. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WHICH SERIOUSLY REDUCES DRIVER'S ABILITY TO OPERATE VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS INTERMITENTLY WORK WHEN WEATHER IS DAMP FOR 3 YRS. SAME AS RECALL FOR 1995 & 1996

WHEN EGR VALVE FAILS (CAMPAIN NOTICE G96067) POWER BRAKES ARE VERY ERRATIC.

DRIVER POWER WINDOW WOULD NOT OPERATE AFTER OPENING. INTERMITTENT (ONCE EVERY 3 MONTHS)

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE I TRIED TO ADJUST PASS. SIDE MIRROR,MIRROR WOULD NOT MOVE SO SINCE I LIVE IN MICHIGAN I FIGURED MIRROR MIGHT BE FROZEN.A FEW MOMENTS LATER I EXITED MY VEHICLE AND SMELLED SMOKE AS I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE WHAT WAS BURNING I NOTICED SMOKE IN MY VEHICLE COMING FROM THE DRIVER DOOR PANEL.I MANAGED TO REMOVE THE COVER FROM THE SWITCH AND EXTINQUISHED THE FLAMES.HAD I NOT NOTICED THIS MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BURNED.I BELIEVE THEIR MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE SWITCHES USED IN THESE VEHICLES AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY OTHER PROBLEMS LIKE THIS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. *AK

WHILE DRIVING WOULD STEP ON BRAKE PEDAL BUT BRAKES WILL NOT ACTIVATE RIGHT AWAY, AND PEDAL WILL KICK IN. BRAKE SYSTEM HAD BEEN REPAIRED FOUR TIMES BEFORE.*AK

BOTH PARTS HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPLACE WITHIN THE LAST 18 MONTHS. THEY WILL BE REPLACE A SECOND TIME BY THE END OF MARCH 2001. NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED. *AK

AFTER HAVING A RECALLED ITEM REPAIRED CONSUMER EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEM A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER. *AK

NO REVERSE,BUT ALL FOWARD GEARS STILL WORK. *AK

WHENEVER DRIVING VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE FOR NO REASON. COULD STAND ON BRAKES & VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. VEHICLE WAS NOT CONTROLLABLE. TRIED SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL ALSO FAILED. VEHICLE THREW A TIE ROD INTO THE MOTOR & DAMAGED IT. IT HAS BE REPLACED. SUDDEN ACCELERATION HAPPENED ON 26 AUGUST,2000 AND 23 SEPTEMBER 20 00.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL FIRESTONE TIRES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED SEPERATION.THE LOCAL FIRESTONE DEALER GAVE SEVERAL EXCUSES AS TO WHY THEY FAILED INCLUDING SOMEONE KNIFED THE TIRES.THEY TOLD ME THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.I HAVE HAD 4 TIRES BLOW OUT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS.I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE TIRES WILL WEAR THIN IN THE MIDDLE VERY QUICKLY AND SEPERATE A SHORT TIME LATER. THE ONE TIME I REPLACED 2 TIRES IN A 60 DAY PERIOD, BOTH FROM SEPERATION.THE FIRE HAWK TIRE LINE NEEDS TO BE CHECKED INTO QUICKLY AS ITS WHITE LETTER STYLE IS POPULAR WITH YOUNG DRIVERS WHO DRIVE FAST AND ARE INEXPERIENCED. I AM CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR DOCUMENTION ON MY TIRES,THEY ARE 14' .PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I BELEIVE THERE ARE SOME VERY BAD TIRES ON THE ROAD TODAY. *AK( DOT NUMBER: )

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL QUIT OR STICK WHILE IN USE IN THE RAIN. SOMETIMES THEY WON'T COME ON AT ALL. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WILL WORK IF YOU GET OUT AND TUG ON THEM, BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT WHILE AND THE WILL GET STUCK AND QUIT WORKING. IT GETS QUIT ANNOYING AFTER A WHILE, NOT KNOWING IF THE WIPERS WILL WORK OR NOT AND HAVING TO GET OUT AND TUG ON THEM TO MAKE THEM WORK.*AK

CRANKSHAFT ROD AND PIN FAILED. NLM
