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. This appears to be a common failing with the Chevrolet Colorado, and is very dangerous as it causes a loss of power steering.

Pulling into parking spot and truck came to dead halt, looked down and the 4 wheel low had engaged. Vehicle wouldn't move and made awful grinding noises finally got it back into 2 wheel drive.(note the 4 wheel had stopped working completely at the end of February during a cold snap and lots of snow) went to drive home and truck again engaged into 4 low at 70 mph on highway immediately slowing me down to 20 and almost throwing me out of control. Have no idea if it made grinding noises then as I thought I was going to crash. There was an officer behind me that almost hit me but he followed me home to make sure the truck got there. There have been numerous other little issues with the truck like not starting, rear brakes blowing apart, U joints went out at 25,000 miles, engine not sealed properly per mechanic as got water in it last year.
