: the contact stated while traveling 5 mph, the power steering failed, then both feet were used to stop the vehicle. It was taken to an independent repair shop who determined the power steering and brake booster system failed and both components were replaced.

problem #1

Suburban 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,800 miles
After taking 90-degree right turn from street into parking lot the ability to steer and brake 2004 Chevrolet Suburban was lost, although forward motion was still possible (I.e. the vehicle did not stall). After restarting vehicle forward motion was possible but steering and braking were still not working. Upon a second restart steering and braking were restored, although some lights on the instrument panel flickered. The vehicle was towed to appleway Chevrolet in spokane, wa. The service department at the dealership initially indicated there was no problem with the vehicle because they could not reproduce the defective behavior. Subsequently, the service department was instructed to keep the vehicle until the problem is identified and resolved.
