2015 Chevrolet Colorado

I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 75MPH WHEN A CAR AHEAD OF ME WAS GOING SLOWER SO I TRIED TO PRESS MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. NO WARNING LIGHT WERE ON MY DASH THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A MESSAGE CAME UP ON MY DASH SAYING SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM AND ENGINE OIL LOW STOP ENGINE ONCE I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETELY STOP THE TRUCK SAFELY I NOTICE I HAD NO OIL IN MY ENGINE SO THE ISSUE SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY BRAKE SYSTEM AND MY ENGINE OIL HAD I NOT KNOWN HOW TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN INJURIES OR EVEN COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU HAVE NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENS.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND 45 MILES PER HOUR OVER A BRIDGE WHEN MY POWER STEERING AND TRACTION WENT COMPLETELY OUT. I WAS LUCKY TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO A PARKING LOT.. THE LIGHT FOR THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION LIGHT WERE ON. I TURNED OFF MY TRUCK WAITED A FEW MINUTES. TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS FOR THE POWER STEERING WARNING WERE NOT ON ANYMORE. WHILE STATIONARY I MOVED MY WHEEL BACK-AND-FORTH WITH EASE AND COULD REVERSE ALSO.. I DID NOT TRUST MY TRUCK AFTER THAT RANDOM LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I HAD IT TOWED TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP RICK HENDRICK'S ON SAVANNAH HIGHWAY. MY LIFE WAS IN DANGER.

ON SEPT 12,2020 I EXPERIENCED POWER STEERING FAILURE, LOUD NOISE FROM UNDER MOTOR AND STEERING WHEEL PUSHING BACK AGAINST MY ATTEMPTS TO STEER. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED AND THE CONDITION WENT AWAY. LATER THAT DAY I EXPERIENCED THE SAME NOISE AND RESISTANCE WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE WHEN RETURNING HOME. ( I ALWAYS BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY) I AM VERY NERVOUS THAT THIS CONDITION MAY CAUSE A CRASH IF IT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING. I DRIVE MANY TWO-LANE COUNTY HIGHWAYS THAT DO NOT HAVE DIVIDED TWO-WAY TRAFFIC.
