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)

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE WAS LEAKING FLIUD. THE TRUCK WAS GOING IN FOR A RECALL IN THE STEERINNG PUMP. SO I ASKED THE DEALER TO CHECK WHERE THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM. THE DEALER CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAD A SMALL HOLE IN IT AND IT WOULD BE $1,200.00 TO FIX IT. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK HOME AND LOOKED AT THE TRANSFER CASE MYSELF. THE TRANSFER CASE DID HAVE A SMALL HOLE IN IT. I WAS GOING TO PUT SOME JB WELD ON THE HOLE FOR THE TIME BEING. UNTIL I COULD AFFORD TO HAVE THE TRANSFER CASE FIXED. WHEN I TOUCHED THE HOLE WITH MY FINGER I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAD REALLY WEAK MEDAL IN THAT AREA LIKE WHEN IT WAS MADE IT WAS NOT MADE RIGHT. I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM THEY ARE TRING TO DECIDE IF THE TRANSFER CASE FAILURE IS THERE FAULT OR IF THE TRUCK HAS BEEN BEAT ON. I HAVE ONLY USED THE 4WD ONE TIME IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK THE PEOPLE THAT HAD IT BEFORE ME TOOK REALLY GOOD CARE OF THE TRUCK. I AM REALLY UPSET THAT CHEVROLET'S DO NOT LAST MORE THEN 5 YEARS.*AK
