1 Power Steering Pump problem of the 1997 Chevrolet K2500

Failure Date: 01/10/2012

I have a1997 Chevrolet 6. 5t diesel, I was driving home from work doing about 45 mph crossing a stop light and the truck just shut off for no reason and a semi was behind me and almost plowed in to the back of my truck but he was able to go around at the last second. I was on the freeway doing 70 mph and the truck did the same thing just shut off for no reason and a car almost hit me but was able to stop in time. On all occasions I lost all power to everything brakes,steering and engine power. This has happened several times before and after the two above. Found out that gm had put out an under the table recall of the pmd and injector pump on the 6. 5t diesel motor 12yr/100,000miles but did not publicly say anything. The other thing that I just can't get out of my head is what if I had my family with me going camping and towing my trailer when the incident happened going down a step mountain pass and the truck to shut off with no power to stop. I know that car makers have a % of accidents before they will look at recalls and deaths are included in those %'s and for gm to hide the recall is very dishonest.

While driving at about 60 mph and the consumer stopped to perform a turn. After completing the turn there was a loss of brakes and power steering. The consumer was able to drive home.

The consumer took apart the power steering pump, and the driveshaft of the power steering pump was broken . The consumer felt this may be due to poor casting or undersized in design. The consumer has not replaced this at this time. The consumer contacted both the gm dealer and manufacturer. They were not willing to pay for any repairs. No repairs or corrections have been made at this time. The consumer repaired the vehicle himself.

I have problems with my brakes and steering when I am braking and turning right or left. The power steering completely go out . I have to use all me strength to turn the steering wheel.

I have replaced the booster, supply lines on brakes, power steering pump and supply lines and truck stills has same problem. The mechanics tell me that it is a design problem and Chevrolet will not recall and repair. All owners of these trucks need help as this is a very dangers problem. I have just seen on the news that Chevrolet is recalling a lot of vehicles and my model needs to be recalled and repaired also.
