The power brake/steering pump shaft broke, rendering the power brake and steering inoperable. The problem occurred while traveling downhill and presented a safety problem. The vehicle only had 70,000 miles at the time. I was and remain concerned that the part defect was not identified earlier and presented a potential safety hazard. The part has been replaced, but I want to know if the replacement part is safe and how GMC will reimburse me for all of the costs I incurred to correct the problem. It was very distressing to lose all power steering and braking while the vehicle was in motion. Had I been traveling faster, injuries most assuredly would have occurred. I have seen elsewhere on the internet that a 2000 GMC Savana van recall was issued for the same defective part.
