My suburban goes to reduced power unexpectedly and the engine will stall causing a loss of power steering and control of the vehicle. My suburban has been taken in to the dealer I purchased the vehicle from on five occasions and the dealer is unable to fix the problem.. The most recent time was 9/1/2011. It went to reduced power 10 miles after leaving dealership and stalled as I pulled out into traffic from a restaurant. A number of cars had to brake excessively and swerve around me until I could angle my suburban off the road without power steering. The truck weighs 6700 lbs and I needed all my strength to turn the wheel enough to get off the road. I am fearful about driving my suburban and the high probability of injury to myself or others.
