My vehicle suddenly stopped and I almost crashed! steering went out and the front end began to rise! since it was dark I was able to safely park my truck. So, the next morning I was able to observe that the tie-rods had snapped off. My truck has aprox. 80K with no heavy/ harsh driving. What is going on with Chevy vehicles"??" recall, after recall......

This piece of junk truck has frequent problems with the ABS, with the entire vehicle squealing every time you turn or brake, and today was the final straw. Today while pulling out of a parking lot, going maybe 5 miles an hour, my 2006 Chevy Colorado with around 75000 miles had trouble while braking and made a horrible grating noise and sensation. The ABS fault sensor immediately kicked on and I had trouble getting to a safe place to completely stop. Today's weather was dry, the pavement was dry, I have a 4X4 truck. There is no reason this piece of crap truck should not be able to handle dry pavement. This vehicle will likely cause me to get in a serious accident and I intend on getting rid of this death trap and never ever buying GMC vehicles again. I'll stick to foreign carmakers who fix their problems instead of ignoring the thousands of people that are having the same problems as I am with the same useless stupid truck. You won't be able to reach me by phone as I'm living overseas. Please email me.

1. at all temperatures the vehicle has "hard spots" while turning at low speed. 2. it occurs intermittently. 3. it has not been addressed at this time, because the mechanics can't isolate the exact problem, and I do not have the capital to swap parts until the problem is resolved.
