Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My car has completely died three times at highway speeds. the first time was july 2004, the second time was early oct 2005 and the last time was jan 19, 05. this has happened in three different states at three very different altitudes. when the car dies i have no brakes, power steering or anything else for that matter. the car will restart after a while. the first time it died, i thought i was going off a cliff on a pass. the last two times were on busy interstates. this is very dangerous. i have had it to the dealership numerous times only to be told that they cannot duplicate the problem so cannot fix it. i have contacted gmc during this entire period of episodes, numerous times and they are very nice but it is only lip service. i finally got my hands on a gmc service bulletin document id#1530787. it describes my problems exactly. it parrots what i have told the dealership every time i have taken the car in. i like my car and just want it fixed. i am going to kill myself and or others if i cannot control the car when it dies. i saved my money and paid cash for this car and cannot afford to buy another one. and, i cannot sell this car as i would need to disclose its defect. so, i am in need of help to get it repaired. thanks. *jb
