Consumer Description

MY GMC TERRAIN HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 65-70MPH (I WASN'T TURNING, STOPPING, OR SWITCHING LANES). COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC, IN RUSH HOUR, AND COME TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART. PREVIOUS TIMES IT STALLED, AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN IT BACK ON. TODAY (JANUARY 6TH, 2016) HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. IT WOULD CRANK, BUT THAT'S IT. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW.
