What owners wrote
(1) I was in a tight turn. I had just hauled 2 tons of feed from a feed mill 30 miles away. (2) the power steering and brakes both stopped working suddenly and with no warning. I had no control over my vehicle and had to run into a fence post to stop it. Had it happened a few minutes earlier while I was on a highway, someone could have been seriously injured or killed. The truck was completely uncontrollable. (3 vehicle was towed to dealer. After two days of testing, no solution has been found.
