I WAS DRIVING TO THE CHURCH FOR WED. NITE SERVICES. THE PUMP MOUNTED DRIVER SHUT THE FUEL OFF ON MY 6.5 DIESEL TRUCK, CAUSING A LOSS OF STEERING, BRAKES, AND CONTROL. I WAS ABLE TO PHYSICALLY WREST THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY, ENDING UP IN THE DITCH. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING WITH GENERAL MOTORS TAKING NO ACTION TO ASSIST MOTORISTS WITH THE PROBLEM. YOUR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR
