SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
PASSENGERSIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTS AND LOCKS,THE PASSENGER. THE BELT MUST BE UNLATCHED AND REFASTENED. THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT SEEM TO HOLD WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED VERY HARD.

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 HEAVY DUTY TRUCK [XXX]MY TRUCK RECENTLY BECAME DISABLED DUE TO A MALFUNCTION OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP DURING THE COURSE OF NORMAL OPERATION. I WAS RETURNING HOME FROM RUNNING ERRANDS WHEN I REALIZED THE TRUCK WAS SUDDENLY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN AND DISCOVERED THAT WAS DIFFICULT AS WELL. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE HOME IN THIS CONDITION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR CERTAIN TRUCKS THAT CONTAIN SIMILAR OR IDENTICAL EQUIPMENT. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY TRUCK'S VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. FOLLOWING THE CONVERSATION WITH A GM REPRESENTATIVE, I CONDUCTED FURTHER RESEARCH. FROM WHAT I CAN ASCERTAIN, THE TRUCKS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL HAVE THE SAME HYDRO-BOOST SYSTEM THAT MY TRUCK HAS. I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHY GM IS EXCLUDING A TRUCK FROM ITS RECALL THAT HAS THE SAME EQUIPMENT AND SAME CRIPPLING MALFUNCTION OF TRUCKS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT FURTHER INQUIRY IS REQUIRED IN THIS MATTER. PLEASE REPLY AT YOUR EARLIEST POSSIBLE CONVENIENCE. I ANTICIPATE THAT YOUR INVESTIGATION WILL RESULT IN MY VEHICLE BEING INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.*AK *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CABLES
SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. AT APPROXIMATELY 38,000 MILES THIS FIRST OCCURRED AND I CALLED A NEARBY DEALER TO SEE IF THEY COULD RESET THE COMPUTER THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. AT THE TIME THEY COULDN'T FIT ME IN AND ASKED THAT I SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH A CO-WORKER AND HIS 2004 HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS IN THE SHOP. APPARENTLY IT HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD HIM IT WAS 4-7 WEEKS TO GET NEW PARTS OR THEY COULD SEND OUT HIS EXISTING PARTS TO BE REWORKED. THE DELAER HAS SAID THAT A BULLITIN HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ORDERED. I WOULD THINK THAT VEHICLES A YEAR OR TWO OLD SHOULD HAVE A WORKING SPEEDOMETER. THE WAY I HAVE FOUND TO FIX IT IS TO STOP AND REMOVE THE BATTERY CABLES AND LET THE COMPUTER RESET. SOMETIMES THE SPEEDOMETER GOES TO 120 MPH AND JUST STAYS THERE, EVEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS NOT RUNNING. I AM WONDERING IF THIS EFFECTS MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES OR MY MILEAGE READINGS.*AK
