Consumer Description

WHEN I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE THE TOUCHPAD SHOWED NO A/C. I STARTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES THE HEATER CAME ON AND BLEW HOT AIR, THEN AFTER AWHILE THE A/C CAME ON. AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHEN I REACHED APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THEN THE VEHICLE JOLTED AND THE POWER RETURNED. THIS HAS HAPPENED PRIOR AND WAS TAKEN INTO CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. LOOSING POWER AND STEERING CAPABILITY IS NOT SAFE. *TR
