1995 chevrolet pickup with 55,000 miles developed a noise in the steering and I could feel vibration in the steering wheel and floor of vehicle. A local mechanic isolated the problem to be loose steering column. The problem appeared to an apparent loose bushing under the dash. The mechanic searched the NHTSA safety recall list an noticed it may be a factory recall and recommended I take it to a dealer. The GM dealer indicated the was a recall for these 95/96 GM pickups but it did not include my vehicle VIN number.

Dash board has broken loose from front of vehicle. Problems that seem to be part of the break are , oil prssure guage flucuates, and battery shows discharge when the alternator is working prperly, also the radio stays on when engine is cut off and key out,, replaced oil pressure sending unit, did no good, replaced battery and alternator, did not help. Guages still not working properly and radio still stays on when it should be off. Seems to be in the wiring and maybe the ignition switch.
