Description of the problem | Started the truck and put into reverse. There was no brake and no steering control. I had to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. All fluids were topped off as normal and i regularly maintain this vehicle. After reviewing this issue in the diesel forum numerous duramax owners have endured the same problem with some ending in crashes. This is a major safety issue!!!!!!!!!!!! Simultaneous brake and steering failure. Are you kidding me? Wow! I tried chatting with gm and was dumped during the chat. No help there! I'll try again! |
