Description of the problem	After appox. One hour at 65 mph on cruise control i disengaged the cruise control , coasting to a speed of about 25 mph or less to make a upcoming left turn. As i started to turn i pressed on the brake and found it was without assist, and the same was true for the steering. I applied as much pressure as i could to both the brake pedal and the steering wheel and fortunately made the turn with out incident. I tapped the fuel pedal and both the brakes and steering assist returned to normal. I've had the problem before with loss of brakes but have always been going straight. I report this to the dealership but since the vehicle doesn't show a error code they can't fix it! At least if i die in a crash this will be my record. I will report the truck again to the dealer but they wont fix it. I have seen that others are experiencing also. I won't let my wife drive the truck it is not safe!!! This is a design flaw the system is drawing fluid for both the brakes and steering from the powersteering pump, also i believe from what i have read the fluid travels thru a screen(filter) which can plug starving the system of fluid needed to properly operate the steering and brakes.
