1992 Gmc Sonoma Complaints

AFTER CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS HIT AT 35 MPH ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN IT SUDDENLY ROLLED BACKWARDS AND KNOCKED THE CONSUMER DOWN. THE CONSUMER WAS NOT HURT. *NLM

THE REAR BRAKES PROVIDE VERY LITTLE STOPPING POWER. REAR BRAKE SHOES SHOW VERY LITTLE WEAR EVEN AFTER 60,000 MILES. RECENT ARTICLE IN PAPER HIGHLIGHTS THE PROBLEM. IT DIRECTS THE CAUSE TOWARD THE ABS SYSTEM. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT ON THESE VEHICLES. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED PREVIOUSLY BUT NO RESPONSE. MUST I GO THROUGH OUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVE IN ORDER TO GET A REPLY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. PLEASE RESPOND. IF THE PROBLEM IS BEING HIGHLIGHTED IN THE PAPERS SURELY THE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE ACTING ON IT.*AK

THIS IS MY 2ND ATTEMPT TO ALERT YOU TO THIS IMPENDING DEVASTING PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE HAS AN ANTILOCK BRAKING PROBLEM WHICH MANIFESTS ITSELF IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. IMPORTANT NOTE! THIS PROBLEM IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH AN EARLIER RECALL DATED JULY 21,2000. ALTHOUGH THAT PARTICULAR RECALL EXHIBITS SIMILAR SYMTOMS,AND WAS PERFORMED SATISFACTORLY ON MY VEHICLE,THE PROBLEM REMAINS.MY DEALER STATES THAT THE JULY 21ST RECALL WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PRESENT MALFUNCTION. THE ANTILOCK HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT MANUFACTURED BY KELSEY HAYES IS FAULTY ON MY VEHICLE AND MANY MANY OTHERS SIMILAR TO MINE. YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER SHOULD BE OF THE UPMOST URGENCY ! PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER DETAILS TO WHICH I WILL BE ABLE TO MORE EFFICIENTLY HELP YOU IN GETTING TO THE SOURCE OF THIS LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM. THANK YOU. RONALD CANGIALOSI. *AK

IT WAS APPROX. 70 DEG. F. WE WERE GOING ABOUT 60 MPH. ON THE PA. TURNPIKE EAST OF PITTSBURGH. THE TIRES LOOKED FINE THE LAST TIME WE STOPPED. THEY HAD 80 PSI. IN THEM, WHICH IS MAX PRESSURE FOR THOSE TIRES. THE LEFT REAR OUTSIDE TIRE JUST EXPLODED, IT THREW THE ENTIRE TREAD OFF, LEAVING THE DEAD CARCASS ON THE WHEEL. I DON'T HAVE THE DOT NUMBER BECAUSE WHEN WE GOT BACK, I WENT TO THE BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE COMPANY STORE IN MERRILLVILLE, IN. AND COMPLAINED. THEY REPLACED THE TIRE FREE OF CHARGE. MY FATHER BOUGHT THOSE TIRES IN 1997. THEY ARE THE SAME AS WHAT WAS ORIGINAL ON THE MOTORHOME. I AQUIRED IT FROM HIM IN AUGUST. THE BAD PART IS THE DAMAGE TO THE SHEET METAL THE TREAD DID UNDERNEITH THIS THING WHEN IT FLEW OFF. I HAVE TO FIX THAT MYSELF. BY THE WAY, THE TIRE HAD 14/32" TREAD DEPTH ON THE PIECE I BROUGHT BACK TO THEM. THE NEW TIRE MEASURED JUST UNDER 16/32" (TIRESIZE: LT21585R16)( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: LT21585R16 )
