My vehicle will just start up sometimes on its own with or without key in ignition, as well as set alarm off. Also, it constantly feels like the brakes are on at all times. It feels like it drags alot. And it feels like it doesn't properly have enough power when accelerating.

I was driving my 2007 chevrolet silverado when the power steering, power brakes, dashboard gauges, electronic stability control, traction control stopped working simultaneously. There was a significant loss of power and the transmission shifted violently and the vehicle jerked. I was traveling in motion on a city street with traffic present while this occurred. This nearly caused an accident as I was barely able to steer the vehicle off the road.

Vehicle stabilitrack and traction control lights came on. Engine warning light came on. While attempting to turn the vehicle onto a highway acceleration ramp, the car steering wheel locked and the engine died. Could not unlock the power steering. I was towing a horse trailer well within the gross weight for the vehicle. I had a horse in the trailer at the time. I also had children in the car. After a few minutes, I was able to start the vehicle and pull into a safer area. I was not able to tow the trailer home but I was able to get the vehicle home. The car hesitated and chugged along surging into each gear. While at a stop the vehicle hesitated and the engine sputtered. I had to put the truck in neutral and put my foot on the accelerator so the car engine would not die. The transmission would surge each time I stepped on the gas. Limited turning radius on the vehicle and I was not able to make a sharp turn without a grinding noise.

On my silverado with just under 39,000 the left wheel bearing had to be replaced on 8/9/11. On 10/6/11 the right side had to be replaced. I contacted chevy and they will not look into any complaints on the failure of these wheel bearings with such little mileage. Both times my truck had to be towed. I do travel the interstate routes and an concerned about my safety and others on the road but chevy told me "I'm entitled to my opinion."
