While driving, all the sudden my check engine light came on (flashing), and my stabilitrack light came on. The engine started running really rough, and lost power. It is like major misfire. Upon reading up on this, it is a problem with this type engine. I saw about 2000 people with the same issue. Nothing works to resolve this problem.

Stability control alarm blinking ,traction control alarm blinking,, speedometer going erratic, brake lite staying in alarm,cruise control dropping out,power loss temporarily. Shifting between gears (auto xmission) was very rough.this was an electrical system that grew steadily worse. Gm dealership had to replace the ebcm, and the chassis wiringharness. Severe corrosion. Vehicle never driven in salted roads,never flooded,never driven thru water. The location of the ebcm is poorly designed. Dealership said they have never seen a module this corroded,as it was in pieces when they pulled and opened it. I waited 4 months to get it fixed, as a early mechanic saw an electrical fault, but couldn't pinpoint it as it wasn't staying in fault. He said it needed to get worse before it could be properly diagnosed. Had to bring to dealer for repair as it got progressively worse. Cost me $1878.36 to get repaired.

While driving, the stabiltrak,ABS lights come on and the vehicle powers down and barely moves. This has happened on several occasions, mostly during cold weather, although it has happened in warm weather at highway speeds, creating a dangerous situation while trying to maneuver out of traffic. On one occasion, the vehicle was towed to a chevrolet dealership and when checked over they reported that nothing could be found. The vehicle operated normally after sitting there all night.
