Description of the problem | I was driving down a hill about 25 mph on a city street when a warning notice appeared " service steering system" and " service brake system". Almost immediately i could not steer or brake. I almost hit a pedestrian trying to steer and stop. I finally was able to turn a corner and stopped. I slowly drove two blocks to my house at about 5 mph. I am a strong man and if my wife or a less strong individual had been driving, or if i had been going more than the 25 mph or if i was driving at night, i am sure i wouldn't have been able to avoid hitting the pedestrian and / or going off the road and wrecking. This seems like a major accident waiting to happen. My vehicle has been towed to the gmc repair shop in beaverton, oregon awaiting diagnosis. |
