Unknown, car will shut off while driving and turn back on while flashing service traction control. In some cases it will completely turn off and I will have to put transmission in park and re crank it in the middle of traffic. Power steering goes out while driving aswell as other issues. Locks go in and out while driving. No known cause to this as battery and alternator is good and I've replaced BCM and reprogrammed it but still having the same issue

Many times this car has just died while driving. Oil and battery are good. I have had to replace the timing chain. There now seems to be a problem with a fuel pump or sensor causing the car to die. I am taking it to a mechanic this week. Currently not driveable. I have had so many problems out of this car. Great look on the outside, but it being a general motors car, there are many problems. I think they should have had a recall on this by now. I will do my best to file complaints and submit proof. Not a durable car.

Radio would turn off while driving, service traction control message light and chimes, would go off, interior lights would dim out vehicle would turn over but not start, engine light would not stay on however was able to get auto store to pull codes when light was on. Talked to dealership advised to replace battery and key fob as one code had to do with vehicle thinking wrong key was used. Replaced battery and key fobs seemed to be okay for 2 months. Then today when putting window down to get mail the radio turned off, service traction controls lights started going off again and air blower cut out (this started when vehicle put in park) noticed when this was happening that voltage on battery would drop. Took to auto store and they checked battery it was fine. But when air was on and window would be put down it would recreate the same problem (vehicle was in park). Auto store said could be a short. After testing battery and it was good the air was turned off and window being put down would not cause any issues. Only seems to happen when air was on. There seems to be numerous complaints regarding these types off electrical occurrences for this vehicle type. Also have had issues with a surge when driving vehicle. Had different transmission and power train things looked at from dealership that have improved it but not fully corrected. Seems to have gotten even a little better after battery replaced but still occurs to the point where it shifts hard and surges the car forward.
