What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet colorado. While driving 70 MPH with the cruise control activated, the engine shut off completely. The dealer could not find any failure. A week later, the vehicle lost power again and was returned to the dealer. The dealer placed a recorder in the vehicle. The vehicle lost power twice afterwards and the recorder was able to receive two snapshots of the system. The dealers then acknowledged the failure.
I was slowing down at an intersection to make a right hand turn. As I made the turn, my engine died. I lost power steering, and my vehicle was extremely difficult to control. I nearly hit another car. My engine restarted immediately after I placed the truck in park. The next day, my truck died again while slowing to enter an intersection. I immediately took it to a mechanic, who replaced the throttle body. On the way home, it died while make a right hand turn.
