Monte Carlo 6-cyl

While driving my 2001 Monte Carlo ss at 65 miles per hour on the interstate the car would shut off on its own leaving no power steering, brakes, or power to anything. The car did this several times. I contacted GM directly when this started happening. Basically I was told too bad and they couldn't help me. June 5, 2014 summary history display store 01 servc01 total R/O's 1 total serv.
