While driving at 65 miles an hour on a major highway my vehicle completely lost power. The vehicle lost the ability to accelerate, steer and break. Luckily i was able to get it to limp off the shoulder where i turned the vehicle off and it immediately restarted. Traffic was slow so no injury was caused but next time i may not be so lucky.

I have to start the truck a few times, put it through the gears (in drive and reverse), then i press the shift release button several times then the warning stops and my driver seat functions to allow me to get out of the car.…

Lost all power steering & engine compression. Turned off, restarted & all was well. Took to dealership the next…
