I received a recall notice from GMC on around August 2000 saying I must bring in my truck for a recall on the ABS system. I made an appointment with thomas GMC/Pontiac in coon rapids Minnesota for 09:00 am on 12/08/00. The service representativ E (mike vanerem) took my keys and vehicle, and I received a call from him @ 10:29 am stating that I can pick up my vehicle as he was told by his person in his office (marion) to refuse to do the ABS recall on my vehicle as it was listed as a salvage vehicle because a new body was put on and they wouldn't get paid from GMC if they honored this national highway safety administration (nhsta) recall. I believe this is a safety issue that needs attention and I would like this matter resolved to my satisfaction and to the satisfaction of the nhsta.
