Im driving and all the gauges go wacko swinging back and forth, anti theft light comes on check engine light ABS light low fuel light traction light. It reads service traction power steering low fuel every light you can think of comes on and the car even jerks when changing into gear. At times the steering even has locked up on me, thank god at those times I was on a residential street and not freeway. At times it wont even start all the lights are just going basurk. Then theres days where its normal like it never even happened. Im afraid its going to lock up on me on the freeway and im going to have a serious accident!! The 2 recalls that my vechicle had have already been replaced but there is still issues!! This car needs to be completely recalled, I researched the issue im having and found out many many other people are having the same issue. Some people have even died!!! Others major accidents, what more has to happen for this vehicle to be recalled? How many more people have to loose their lives?? This is a serious issue that needs to be taken care of asap!!! And when this issue occurs with the lights and gauges going crazy it happens as im driving. I pray nothing happens to my 3 yr old daughter and I. This issue has been happening for about an year now off and on.

Driving down the highway @ 55mph and the power steering cuts off, the power brakes cut off, the ABS light comes on, the turn signals start going on and off at random, the gauges jump up and down nonstop. I just picked up my car and was told it referenced tsb#08-07-30-021 (the federal safety agency#10025402). The check engine light is still on because of this problem. The shop referenced the following error codes from the check engine light: p0575 u7300 u0121 u0140 thank goodness no one was behind me or around me at the time because I was unable to properly steer the vehicle, brake, or accelerate. This is a major problem that should be addressed by gm.

The traction and ABS light frequently comes on. I'm not sure if it something that I should be worried about, or if it is something that just happens.
