Throttle body or fuel peddle sticking and engine running roughly, steering is lousy

- New Albany, IN, USA

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.

I am the owner of the Chevy Colorado ( 10237336 ) a correction needs to be made on the report you have listed. The problem has happened several times ( at least 20 ) not once, the problem started at 12 K miles and continues. Also, the ABS failed at 20 K miles, the fan clutch burnt up, the A/C quit, all the wiring was burned, the list goes on. I still have 100 miles left on my warranty.... any suggestions ?
