While driving and the engine on we experienced loss of power steering. luckily it occurred as we were pulling away from the driveway, we attempted to re-engine the vehicle to no avail. eventually the vehicle had to be towed away.
I was driving on a highway at 65mph. on a straight portion of the road the engine light came on , the engine revved up to over 4000 rpm, the power steering locked up, and many other lights came on on the dashboard display. this was a very dangerous situation trying to control the car. i was forced to slow down and when i reached 40mph the power steering came back on. the engine was still running over 4000 rpm. most of the dashboard display lights went off except for the check engine light. had to drive under 40 mph until i got home. while this was happening my onstar sent me a notification that there was something wrong with my transmission. the car was then towed to the gm dealer. at the gm dealer they could find nothing wrong.there were no error codes in the cars computer.
