On our 1998 GMC Sonoma we have replaced the windshield wiper motor and board. The wipers still have a ghost in them and delay does not work most of the time and high speed when on low speed, erratic behavior on wipers. Won't turn on or off on occasion. Was there a recall on also on the passenger seat? the lever broke right off the first time we used it. Cheaply built handles. Please send me a list of recalls on this vehicle please for our own safety as this vehicle is driven daily on open highways.

The driver's seat recliner handle broke off inside the joint; had to drive in a very uncomfortable position until it was replaced! very expensive to replace; $300 at the dealership. The metal seemed to be soft and fairly easy to break; I do not change the seat position often. 8jb

Passenger seat does not lock into place. Passengers slide forward and backward with almost every press of the gas and brake. Along with the broken recliner lever(both sides) which has left the seat in a semi-reclined position, my passengers are in for a not so pleasant ride.

- Long Beach, CA, USA

The handles that recline both the driver and passenger seats broke off with very little force. My passenger seat is always slightly reclined now and my driver's seat is straight up and down. The dealership refuses to replace them because there is not a recall and according to them its normal wear and tear. My warranty is up but I feel this goes beyond warranty and is a defect from the manufacturer.

Seat handle on the side of driver seat that adjusts back of the seat to different positions has broken.

- Bridge Water, VA, USA

The recliner seatback handle is attached to a sub-standard metal part which has broken on this truck twice since November 1999. In both instances it appears the metal portion that the handle is screwed into is not a high grade metal and thus can be broken in two pieces from regular use. Per our service advisors at the Pontiac/GMC dealership, they've indicated this was the part that used the lowest grade material thus they have seen more of this part break on this truck than anything else. Also, the service representative indicated this was the second truck with this problem this week. I definately need to know if this could be a problem in the long run with these trucks in question. I may not be the first, but I am certainly not the last to report this problem.
