 I spoke with a larry at the nhtsa back in february of this year. faxed him a copy of the bill i had for the power steering in my yukon xl says there was going to be more investigating and this recall for the power steering may be expanded to my truck..the 1500 series but i haven't heard anything. just a funny thing that this is exactly what happened to me the power steering cut out in the middle of a turn, but it doesn't concern the 1500. *nm

 The power steering pump failed while driving in the mountains. fortunately not while on the curvy, side of the mountain roads. the vehicle required towing down the mountain to the nearest gmc dealer. the dealer replaced the pump and charged $200. much inconveience was incurred, we had to be retrived from the mountains(65 miles), taken to the dealer by others to retrive vehicle, etc. there's a recall(id 05v005000) of 98,221 of this exact model and year for the exact same failure. gmc claims my vehicle is not covered by this recall and will not reimburse me the $200, which does not include the shuttle cost from the mountains to home and other incidentals.

 I have your campaign id#05v005000 recall date: 1/5/2005 i have 2000 gmc yukon xl, vin#3gkfk16t2yg114945, sharon cucos, 52 barbour st 1st fl, haledon, nj 07508, 973-595-5880(home), 973-316-6760 ext 122(work), my power steering cut out on my on 1/19/05 i saw this recall on your website, called gm, they can see this, and since the recalls aren't going out for at least another week or so and my vin# isn't linked to it they can't authorized repair. i drove for a few days without the power steering and then rented a car, i can no longer afford the rental and need my truck fixed. it is presently today(1/25/05) at mcguire pontiac in little falls nj (973-785-2220) and i just gave the go ahead to fix it. i don't really have this $800.00 to do this and gm is doing an escalation report to see if they can speed up things but that will take a few days. i can't wait this long. i don't see why if a 2000 gmc yukon xl is one of the vehicles affected why it is taking so long to approve. i understand i will be due a refund but it is aggravating that i have to put out this money to begin with. why post this for public viewing if they are honoring it until it is official. should someone be able to attend to this today and contact mcguire that my vehicle is covered under this recall it would be wonderful and a miracle. i don't understand why this is such a problem. sharon cucos. *nm
