2001 Chevrolet S10 Steering Problems

I'm having a problem with I believe it's the fuel sensor my truck gets up to a certain temperature and it just dies and it's not just my truck it's in a lot of the newer model Colorado's as well I have a friend who's having the same exact problem as I am when it gets up past 95 degrees, the truck just all of a sudden stops in the engine turns off, and you have to try and steer your truck without any power steering, the reason I am filing this is if this happens in the middle of the road it could possibly cause an accident and that would be no good and it only happens when it is hot outside in the winter time or when it's cold I have no issues whatsoever

OUR ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND WHEN IT DOES THE ABS DON'T WORK. IT COMES ON WHENEVER IT WANTS. IT IS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE 2000 ARE HAVING AND THEY HAVE A RECALL. IT RECENTLY CAUSED THE BACK WHEEL NOT TO MOVE AT ALL. WE WERE TOLD THE SPRING INSIDE THE MODULE IS GOING OUT. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE AIR BAG FROM GOING ON. ALSO, THE IGNITION WON'T WORK THE TRUCK WON'T START. IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO GET IT TO START. WE WERE JUST TOLD THAT IT'S THE STARTER. THE SEATBELT LOCKS INTERMITTENTLY AND WON'T LET ME MOVE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING ON I85 AT 70 MPH IN THE FAR LEFT LANE PASSING A CAR I HIT THE RUMBLE STRIPS ON THE SHOULDER AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE SHOULDER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THINKING I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR TO MY SURPRISE THE CAR STARTED BACK AND I TOOK OFF. I FORGOT ABOUT THIS UNTIL I RECENTLY HEARD OF RECENT RECALLS. *TR

IN MAY OF 2004 MY IDLER ARM WAS LOOSE, AND I HAD IT REPLACED. I STARTED TO NOTICE EXCESSIVE AND UNEVEN WEAR ON MY FRONT TIRES BY OCTOBER 2004. AROUND THANKSGIVING I WAS DRIVING UP MY STREET, AND LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK AS I DROVE AROUND A CURVE AND ALMOST HIT ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I DID NOT CRASH, BUT I HAD THE LOWER BALL JOINTS AND THE IDLER ARM REPLACED AGAIN, AND THEN NEW TIRES PUT ON THE TRUCK. OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED A POPPING SOUND IN THE FRONT END, AND UNEVEN WEAR ON THE FRONT TIRES AGAIN. THE STEERING IS LOOSE, AND AROUND CURVES IT SEEMS TO SLIP, AND I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM ABOUT TO LOOSE CONTROL. *JB
