General Comments:

This Sonoma was ordered as a GMC display vehicle, for the Colorado State Fair. It's loaded, ZQ8 suspension package, top end stereo with CD and remote tape player, deep tint glass.

One comment when I test drove the truck was "It should say Cadillac."

Longest trip in this truck was 900+ miles. One-way.

Great in snow or wet conditions.

Faults:

Bad fan clutch bearing.

Bad rear axle bearing.

Bad solenoid in transmission.

Bad windshield wiper motor.

General Comments:

This truck does not have the dependability I thought I would get from it. Most parts that have failed are ones that you don't hear of failing in this day.

The windshield wiper motor has a gearbox with cheap gears that wear out. This has been an ongoing problem with GM vehicles for many years.

The transmission problem cost me dearly. Now it leaks.

Faults:

Windshild wipers quit working when its raining woks fine when its not raining, headlights wasnt grounded properly, a/c doesn't work half the time go and get it charged once every 6 months, universal joints broke on me lucky I wasnt killed, dealer said my clutch was bad took it to a side shop they checked it out and it was the clutch master cylinder, catalac converter was clogged had to replace it. seats are so hard to get to recline.

General Comments:

This vehicle has done a number on my pocket and I would never buy another one! GMC LOST MY BUSINESS FOR LIFE! all the things above wasnt covered on the warranty!
