problem #1

Oct 172003

Suburban 8-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 120,000 miles
While driving at any speed, the vehicle intermittently stalled. This caused lost of steering and brakes. This happened five times in a half an hour. The consumer noted he was not towing anything at the time which could've caused a serious accident if there was a lost of steering and brakes. Vehicle was repaired at a local shop when this occurred at 60,000 miles.
