1997 GMC SONOMA Complaints

SPARE TIRE CABLE BROKE WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING TIRE TO FALL ONTO ROADWAY, ALMOST CAUSING A COLLISION.*AK

WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING THEN SUDDENLY COME BACK ON. THIS CAUSED POOR VISIBILITY. *NLM. *AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WORKED SPORADICALLY, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN DRIVING. *JB

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. LATEST INCIDENT WAS IN HEAVY SNOW AND VISIBILITY WAS LOST. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE 1996 S-10 AND SONOMA WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL ON THE 1997. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AND IT STARTED TO RAIN THE VEHICLE WIPERS WILL NOT COME ON. CAUSE UNKNOWN. MR *TT

WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY AFTER BEING TURNED ON. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS WOULD NOT COME ON BUT THE MOTOR WOULD STILL BE RUNNING. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE THEN BEEN INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT ON RECALL BUT THE PROBLEM WAS REPAIRABLE DUE TO A MODULE OF THE WIPER SYSTEM. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. MR

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVNG AND TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS THE RPM WILL REV UP. CONTACTED DEALER. *MR

WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILED, WIPERS STALLED IN HEAVY RAIN AND TRAFFIC--HAD TO BLINDLY MANEUVER TO CITY FREEWAY SHOULDER AND PROCEED TO NEXT EXIT.*AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT TAPPING THE MODULE WOULD MAKE THE WIPERS WORK AGAIN. *YH

WINDSHIELD WASHER/WIPERS RANDOMLY DO NOT WORK. DEARLER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIX A RANDOM PROBLEM. APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED IN THE 1996 RECALL #98V150001. *AK
