 Tl*the contact owns a 2000 gmc savana 1500. the contact stated that the speedometer sticks and displays inaccurate speeds. it usually becomes stuck anywhere between 60-70 mph, regardless of the actual speed that is being driven. the failure has occurred intermittently for years and the vehicle was never taken to the dealer. through research, the contact recently found numerous complaints for the same failure. he called the manufacturer and was informed that they were only repairing the 2003 and 2004 models, but no recall had been issued. whenever the contact takes the vehicle to the dealer, they are unable to duplicate the failure. the failure is progressively becoming worse and has not been repaired. he believes it is a safety hazard to not know how fast he is driving. the failure mileage was approximately 55,000 and current mileage was 97,000. updated 03/04/09. *lj updated 03/06/09. *jb

 2000 gmc savana van with conversion package. power steering completely failed. i found a recall notice on the nhtsa site, called gmc and was told there was no recall. after i told the operator the recall number she then found a customer satisfaction safety campaign. i was not notified of this serious safety hazard with my vehicle. my 17 year old daughter was driving the vehicle when the power steering failed. luckily, she was able to park the car without incident. this is a large heavy car it is almost impossible to steer w/o the power steering. gmc will be kind enough to fix the steering after i get the vehicle to a dealer. (they are not responsible for towing) sooo i get to drive the car to the dealer w/o the power steering. i wonder if it would pass an accident avoidance course?? *jb
