I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CURVY MAOUNTAIN ROAD AND STEERING TO THE LEFT IN A TURN. MY STEERING LOCKED UP AND I HAD NO CONTROL. I GOT THE TRUCK STOPPED BEFORE WE WENT OVER A SEVERAL HUNDRED FOOT DROP. I HAD MY WIFE, 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, AND 6 MONTH OLD SON IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. I GOT THE STEERING UNLOCKED AND DROVE HOME. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID SINCE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY WILL NOT FIX OR REPLACE ANYTHING IN THE FRONT END OR STEERING WITHOUT DUPLICATING THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A TRUCK THAT HAS DONE THIS. I USALLY HAVE MY CHILDREN WITH ME IN A TRUCK THAT IS UNSAFE. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT HE WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIR WITHOUT DUPLICATION. I ASKED HIM WHY HE WOULD SEND A TRUCK OUT THAT WAS UNSAFE. ALL HE COULD SAY WAS I CARE BUT NO REPAIRS WITHOUT DUPLICATION. I CONACTED GM AND I AM WAITING A REPLY.

VEHICLE ROLLED BACK WHILE IN PARK. TRUCK WAS FOUND AGAINST THE HOUSE WITH THE DOORS LOCKED AND STILL IN PARK. EMERGENCY BRAKE IS TYPICALLY ENGAGED BECAUSE IT IS PARKED ON A SLOPE DRIVE BUT IT WAS FOUND DISENGAGED. WHILE BEING TOWED IT ALSO ROLLED WHILE LOADING ONTO THE TOW TRUCK. AGAIN, IT WAS IN PARK WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT BY TWO SEPARATE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WITH NO CAUSE FOUND. DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE TRUCK AND THE HOME BUT SINCE GM COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL DAMAGES. WILL MOST LIKELY GET RID OF THE VEHICLE (TRADING IT IN AT SAME DEALER WHO SOLD AND SERVICED IT) BECAUSE WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE LEAVING THE VEHICLE UNATTENDED. TS
