I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 85 AND APPLIED THE BRAKES BECAUSE THE TRAFFIC HAD SLOWED AND THE IGNITION SHUT OFF CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO GO OUT AND THE BRAKES STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THIS HAS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU APPLY THE BRAKES AND IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUES SINCE DECEMBER OF 2013. AFTER ALMOST BEING IN 3 ACCIDENTS I STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEAR OF MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. THIS CAR SHOULD BE A PART OF THE GM IGNITION AND POWER STEERING RECALLS BUT EVERYTIME I CALL GM/CHEVROLET I AM GIVEN CONFLICTING INFORMATION. IN ONE CALL MY CAR IS A PART OF THE RECALL AND THE NEXT CALL IT IS NOT. GM IS NOT BEING FAIR OR HONEST IN THEIR ASSESSMENT OF WHICH VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED.

I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND TURNED OFF, I COULD NOT SWITCH GEARS OR TAKE MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND I PAID $470.00 TO GAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED, *TR
