While driving on the highway, all the power went off and the steering seized for a short period and then came back on and reset itself. This happened twice within 30 minutes. This also occurred when backing out of a driveway where all power was lost and the steering wheel seized until it came back on and reset itself. This is a very serious safety issue where lives are at stake and find it appauling that gm has not issued a recall for this problem but rather issuing a service bulletin? These complaints are all over the internet . . . Obviously this is a critical issue for many consumers.

The car turns off while I am driving, no matter where I have had it turn off on the expressway and street while in drive and at times it the RPM idles while im at the stop like and parked. I have contacted chevy but they didn't want to honor the powertrain warranty and I was not to told not to come back to ron craft chevy. So I took it to miller auto body and repair, here in houston, they recommend that I replace the engine cover I did out of my own pocket even though its was supposed to be honored at the chevy dealership under powertrain. I still continue to drive the car but it still losses power and turns off while im driving. Last night the battery died, I replaced it with a new today but the car still shuts down and stops while I'm driving. I don't know what to do and why this is happening and why chevy isn't honoring the powertrain warranty on the faulty engine components, the stability track stays and the check engine lights stays on and a traction lights stays on. I have done regular maintenance on this car every since I bought it, every maintenance inspections were all done by chevy, I just don't under stand why they play dumb when honoring my powertrain warranty.
