Description of the problem	The other day i took a ride in my truck and upon driving approximately two blocks from my home the steering control of the car totally failed. Imagine driving your car and at some point, you lose the capability of controlling your cars direction while holding your steering wheel. One can only imagine if i was going 65 miles an hour and driving on a highway then losing the ability to turn your wheels. I am blessed this malfunction happened when i was only traveling 10 miles an hour. After calling a tow truck and having my car towed to a local repair shop, it was determined the control arm bolt had broken off therefore losing total control of the cars steering capability. This is unheard of and something like this should never happen at all during normal use. With all of this i continue to think about how lucky i was to survive a mechanical problem of this sort and how i could have fatally injured someone else with this defected control arm of this vehicle. So, i decided to make a call to gm and report this issue and to advise the company of a problematic issue with the design or engineering of the hummers control arm steering component the company representative acknowledged my complaint and recorded my description of the events and the issues of the cars steering system. I reiterated my concerns about the issues and how not addressing this in some sort of a recall may result in deaths. I am attaching pictures of the part which the bolt had broken so you may consider a recall of the vehicle
