The charging system went completely dead while driving. I had no power steering everything went black no speed, no lights, i couldn't even turn on my hazards while i was sitting in the middle lane of the interstate hoping i wouldn't get killed because of this. Why is there no warning to let you know your battery and charging system is dead. Why is this not a recall from chevy? Please advise.

The lights on the dash would stay off for days at a time, making it impossible for me to see how fast i was going or how much gas was in the car. Sometimes the lights would click on…
