Chevrolet S10 stalling problems

Filed Feb 12, 2020 · Brakes · 59,000 miles · SC

While attempting to park in a parking garage and maneuver into a stall at low speeds, the brakes lost power. They made a noise as if the ABS kicked in, the brake pedal was very hard and the brakes were barely functioning. The recall was fixed on my truck a few months back. The truck has 59k miles and this was the first incidence. Hopefully, I can get it out of the parking garage safely when I get home. Will be contacting my local dealership to see what they can do. Based on what I read on here, this is a common problem that needs to be fixed once and for all.

Truck or vehicle shut down while driving.

The vehicle intermittently shuts off while driving. All power is lost. All lights on instrument panel come on as if the truck were just started. "service engine soon" light comes on. Sometimes the truck restarts and continues working and other times it stalls completely as if the key was turned off. This happens at random times and in random situations. We may be accelerating aggressively (merging into traffic) or driving smoothly at slower speeds. It is not consistent with road conditions, temperature or whether we are driving up or downs a hill, on the flats, going straight or around curves. It may happen twice within a mile then not again that day. Once it has staled completely, starting the engine can be difficult, like it is not getting fuel or electrical current to the engine. Fuel filter has been changed with no change in symptoms. Problem codes that come up when diagnosed are as follows... P1632 p0341 p0335 this problem has just begun to show itself in the past 6 weeks, maybe starting in early september, 2015. This is very disconcerting as this is my wife's commuter car and she does not feel safe in it at this point.

The accident was almost head on mainly on the passenger side. The impact was hard the air bags went off in the other car but neither one of ours went off. For about a year prior to the accident the truck would stall at random times.

It just stalled and the radio keeps going on and off once in a while, also the tires keep going flat on me and I put fix a flat in them and they still do the same. Electric problem I think it might be the relay not sure. But it has electric problems.

I backed out of my driveway. Began slowly traveling down the hill that I live on. The brakes completely failed. The brake warning light was not on prior to this occuring. The engine also stalled. I had no way to slow or stop safely, as the parking brake cable was rusted and did not work. I made it to the bottom of the hill. Ended up driving off of a small embankment causing damage to the front bumper and other external areas in the front. The hood and driver side door are no longer sealing very good. A repair shop had to replace much of the brake lines due to failure caused by rust. The mechanic also found fuel line damage due to rust and replace them as well. I could have easily been injured or died that day, or have caused injury or death. Why has chevrolet not been required correct these problems?
