WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AFTER CRESTING A LARGE HILL THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER ASSIST TO THE STEERING AND BREAK SYSTEMS CAUSING VEHICLE TO DESCEND THE HILL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED 90+MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED AND THE BREAK PEDAL WAS STUCK IN THE HIGH POSITION (E.G. NO PLAY IN PEDAL) I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY REMOVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROADWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND BRAKING SYSTEM DID NOT RETURN UNTIL AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAD BEEN REPLACED IN 2003 AS PART OF A GMC TSB.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
