Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving on the freeway, exiting to an off-ramp, truck lost power steering and brakes simultaneously, without any prior indications of mechanical trouble. Chevrolet currently shows no recall on this vehicle. Fortunately traffic was light and a collision was avoided. Why would one critical system's pump--power steering--be used to drive a second critical system's pump--hydrobooster?”
