Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My son was turning into a driveway when the power assist was lost. this made the truck almost undriveable and very difficult to maneuver. i have removed the pump and found the internal shaft had broken. i am an automotive technician with over 20 years experience as well as a manager for a local government fleet. i network with a large group of experienced technicians including independent repair shops. this appears to be a common failure on these trucks. *nm
