Known issues on the 2000 Sonoma. Four recalls are on the federal record, and three of them touch braking. Two are antilock faults: brake pipe nuts seated poorly enough to leak and lengthen a stop, and a motor spring clip out of specification that lets a bearing wander until rear brake proportioning quits. The third is a certification label quoting more payload than the truck was validated for, so an owner could load it past its ability to stop. The fourth is a leaking service fuel pressure regulator. Structure and brakes lead 141 complaints, and both have full procedures here.
