Headlights Problems of GMC Sonoma

While driving passenger's side headlight fixture sheared off. This caused poor visibility for the driver. Consumer drove vehicle to the dealer, and mechanic advised consumer that the warranty expired, and consumer had to pay for the part.

Noticed a pull on the vehicle and noticed engine had stopped I was driving on the interstate going 285 north about 60 miles per hour. Had just turned on the air conditioner. Was able to coast and safely pull over to the exit. Engine would turn but not start. Had to be towed to dealership. Was safe because it was Saturday afternoon, no traffic, per tech fuel pump sensor failure, thereafter had other problems ie, headlights out, daylight running lights out, had radio/cd player problems b4 engine failure, with intermittent changing of stations, radio comming on and off, service engine light on. Rt turn signal light fast blinking, since I purchased the vehicle there has always been a concern about the brakes. When hitting a bump in the road and braking, the car seems to roll instead of slowing or stopping,and I always feel if a vehicle was in front of me I would hit them. I have avoided many incidents being careful when I brake but during a passing conversation with a tech during oil change I discussed this problem. It was never documented. I mentioned my brake issue after the tech found the brake light on after engine service my brake concerns have never really been documented. They have checked the brakes and actually repaired them, they are working okay today. I am still having problems with blinking light on my radio,(new radio/cd by dealer) and daytime running lights going out again. I believe it is a computer problem or electrical short. This week my vehicle has been checked 3 times. Please note this vehicle did not overheat, have battery problems, the engine just cut off. Tech thinks I ran out of gas, defect in gauge. I dont think so. I keep all of my receipts. My vehicle was built April 2002 I purchased as new vechicle with 127miles can you tell me if there was a previous problem with this vehicle.

I bought this truck off wally armour in alliance ohio. After getting it home we found out there was front end trouble,it shook real bad,also head light did not come on all the time and the mirror on drivers door shimmied bad and mirror on window was falling off. This vehicle is a 1998 Sonoma GMC. I took the vehicle back as a lemon and now they are charging me over a thousand dollars worth of taxes besides ruining my credit to nearly zero. What can I do?is there defaults on this vehicle?.

Nearly been involved in numerous intersection accidents. Driving lights stay on all the time, except when turn signal enabled. The flash makes it appear to other drivers as if I were signaling them to take the right of way.

Radio goes on and off, will turn on by itself, and sometimes could smell like a burning not knowing where it is coming from. Also, headlights will blink on and off. Inside lights and radio flicker. The dealer diagnosed that there was suspension problem and the passenger side heat source was inoperable.

While driving south o I-77 at about 10 pm, the headlights suddenly went off. Lights on this vehicle are automatic:ie, they go on when it gets dark. I was on a dark section of the interstate with no surronding traffic, which is probably a good thing because I had no idea where I was on the road. I was terrified but managed to come to a stop without running off the road. This is an extremely dangerous situation and could easily result in death or serious injury. I turned the lights back on manually, but the automatic system stayed off. The next day, the system seemed ok. I suspect a circuit breaker cut off, but the dealer said there was no way to check it and when I called gm consumer relations, they didn't seem interested. I have since heard of the same problem on a one-week old chevy s-10, the same truck as the Sonoma (different grill). How many more light system problems are out there?.

While driving, headlights went out after being turned on. This caused driver to have poor visibility. Been in contacted with dealership & failure could not be duplicated. The head lights go on outomatically at dusk and there is no way to turn it off. When the system failed, the lights suddenly went off while driving at 75 mph. Possibly a circuit breaker kicked off killing all lights in vehicle.

Whenever turn signal is activated, day time running lights go out. After turn signal goes off, daytime running lights come back on. Dealer/ manufacturer are aware of the problem. Problem has not been corrected.

Headlights cut off when the signal lights are applied, then come back on. Also when driver parks the vehicle the headlights are out. Dealer can't find solution.
