Consumer Description

MY SUBURBAN GOES TO REDUCED POWER UNEXPECTEDLY AND THE ENGINE WILL STALL CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. MY SUBURBAN HAS BEEN TAKEN IN TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM ON FIVE OCCASIONS AND THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.. THE MOST RECENT TIME WAS 9/1/2011. IT WENT TO REDUCED POWER 10 MILES AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP AND STALLED AS I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A RESTAURANT. A NUMBER OF CARS HAD TO BRAKE EXCESSIVELY AND SWERVE AROUND ME UNTIL I COULD ANGLE MY SUBURBAN OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT POWER STEERING. THE TRUCK WEIGHS 6700 LBS AND I NEEDED ALL MY STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL ENOUGH TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I AM FEARFUL ABOUT DRIVING MY SUBURBAN AND THE HIGH PROBABILITY OF INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. *TR
