Description of the problem | tonight, a rainy night in texas i had to brakes suddenly. Finally my abs brakes worked properly . There was no heavy pull to the left swerving into the next lane, as it did from 2003-2005. There was pulsation from the braking mechanism that i never felt before like i told it should work. I didn't have to fight with the wheel to keep control. It never swerved like numerous times before out of the over 100 times my abs brakes malfunctioned , this time finally it worked the way abs should work during a wet bumpy road. Last year after many phone calls about my many issues,gm corp and the dealer finally was willing to check out my vehicle again with abs brakes and other issues. I drove my vehicle at my cost from texas to georgia. The dealer reported my vehicle's issues were repaired. The drl issue (turns off while using the turn signal, stupid defect that they have in the manual. As if it normal. I still don't know any other car that does this ) the problem is still there but the electrical issue is gone. When i had the electrical problem it affected the entire vehicle over the time i had the truck. I even had my radio replaced over nine times. My last issue was the system not recognizing the check engine light being on and driving from ga to tx and back before it would go out. I drove 2000 miles. .... Abs brakes." what ever the dealer did to my car to repair the swerving issues. They need to do a recall for those people who have malfunctioning abs brakes on the sonoma vehicle. There is a defect and it should be acknowledged. Mine was fixed after 3 years. These brakes were defective and dangerous until repaired. I have avoided many accidents by being very careful ; offensive and defensive driving. Have gm fix those faulty abs brakes. Please note you can find my many complaints under gmc sonoma 2002. *jb |
