Crash !!!!!!!!!
Playing the "Devils advocate"
The dealership will tell you these things:
Steering still works even if the belt is removed from the PS pump. PS is a convenience accessory. It makes it easier to turn in very slow speed (parking lot) situations. At 30 mph, there will be hardly any difference between having the PS and not having the PS. You stated you were already IN the corner (turning) so there would be no reason to have to turn more and you would not have noticed any difference.
The ACD has NO EFFECT what so ever on the transmission. It can NOT put your car in neutral or even make it seem that it is in neutral. All it does is change how the LSD locks in the transfer case.
Vacuum is stored in the brake booster. Even with the car turned off, there is enough stored to have vacuum assist at least two times when applying the brakes. After that, you would still have brakes but they would require a lot more pedal pressure to stop.
I would suggest that you leave it up to the dealership to determine what caused the car to leave the road. Tell them what the car did and and not what you think caused it.
Something may have happened to your car prior to leaving the road but your train of events does not add up to a person who knows how a car works and reacts
I am not saying you are not telling the truth about what happened.... just letting you know that your interpretation of what caused the crash could not happen as you stated. If you were to tell this story to the dealership, they will look at you funny... probably have a laugh behind your back.... and then blame the accident on bad driving.
