2001 GMC Sonoma SLS review from North America
"Less than average build quality at a price that is unjustifiably high"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine fan clutch assembly was terribly noisy.
Paint on the hood had lost its shine.
Engine has faint valve tap.
Anti-lock braking system engages when braking on a bumpy road surface.
General comments?
The interior and exterior of the truck are attactive and comfortable.
However there are a number of squeaks and rattles when driving.
Many interior components look and feel cheap and easy to break.
