CONSUMER 2000 CHEVROLET PICKUP HAS A SAFETY DEFECT IN THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. *TS THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE ABS RECALL AND HE WAS TOLD THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED T WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT LOW SPEEDS THE ABS ACTIVATED FOLLOWED BY A SQUEAKING NOISE. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER, WHO CLEANED THE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS.

WHY DOES GMC NOT DO A TOTAL RECALL ON THE VEHICLE THEY SALE AND THEY PICK THE STATES WHERE THEY WANT THE RECALL TO TAKE PLACE. IN UTAH WE USE SALT ON THE ROADS AND YES WE DO GET SNOW REMEMBER THE WINTER OLYMPICS OF 2002 THIS IS NOT RIGHT FOR THEM TO PICK AND CHOOSE STATES. IF IT A RECALL ON BRAKES IT SHOULD BE NATION WIDE NOT JUST THE ONE'S THEY FEEL IS RIGHT . THIS PUTS MY FAMILY AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY . I HAVE A 2000 CHEVY PICKUP .. PLEASE HELP. *JB

MY 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K2500 , VIN [XXX], PURCHASED IN DECEMBER 1999, HAD A HYDRAULIC POWER, LOSS RESULTING IN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO SECURE THE VECHICLE AND CALL A TOW TRUCK AND TOWED TO DELERSHIP. NHTSA HAS A RECALL 05V-005000 FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR, HOWEVER IT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN. CONTACTED GM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPAIR THIS UNDER THE RECALL AND THEY REFUSED. IT APPEARS THERE ARE MORE VECHICLES WITH FAULTY POWER STEERING PUMPS THAN THE RECALL COVERS. REQUEST YOU REVIEW THIS RECALL. THE PUMP WILL BE REPLACED AND I WILL REQUEST THE REMOVED PARTS BE SAVED FOR ME. *AK *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
