Vehicle randomly throws Stabilitrak, Traction control and ABS codes. Engine derates to limp mode. Transmission goes to full line pressure shifts. A cycle of the ignition system will reset the system a majority of the time. There is no "recall" but the general consensus in the mechanical world is two things cause this issue. Throttle body is bad and/or the steering position sensor fails causing the stabilitrak system to be disabled (which in a 2013 Tahoe, stabilitrak cannot be turned off) I have replaced the throttle body with an OEM part and the problem still occurs with our vehicle. It is a big enough of a parts failure/equipment failure that most of my mechanic buddies I've talked to knew exactly what I was talking about and said I replaced these two parts and the problem was solved. May not be enough for a recall but a TSB really should be issued because I've found a lot of information online that a lot of people are having this same issue. Between this website's complaint section and other Chevy/GM forums, I'm estimating 5000-10000 people have had similar issues with the stabilitrak being disabled somehow while driving. Manufacturers need to be held accountable for parts failures like this, as when recalls do finally happen, it is next to impossible to get the vehicle in and repaired in a timely matter (Takata air bag inflator issue is a great example, our local dealer cannot give me an estimated date they can get the vehicle in for repairs because its a mass parts recall and the replacement parts are unavailable) Incident has happened over a dozen times in the past 6 months but the additional details will not let me select multiple dates

Without warning on several occasions the the gps/radio screen, door locks, lights, gauges, etc start cycling and going crazy and power to the vehicle goes on and off. While the electrical storm is happening I can press the gas pedal which only causes the car to sputter and lurch forward. It has occurred suddenly while pulling into traffic or while traveling on the highway at normal speeds. I have contacted GM and was told there are no recalls open. After researching on my own there are several forums with countless complaints of the same nature. To state the obvious...this is dangerous and the fact that GM is aware and continues to ignore the problem is highly unethical and unsettling.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would stall with several unknown warning lights flashing on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that other electrical features such as the exterior lighting and the power locks would activate on and off independently during the failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that since there were no active warning lights displayed on the instrument panel, a diagnostic test could not be performed. The failure persisted and the contact discovered the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 14V614000 (Electrical System) which she linked to the failure. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

First was the infotainment center that went out after the first week of owning and they wanted me to pay half for a new one ($800). Contacted gm and they paid me back. Next was the black coloring on all the button rubbing off. Was told to buy a sticker kit. Then was the tack jumping on it's own. Then was the entire dash cracking from the windshield all the way up to the front. Was told it's cosmetic. I asked what happens when the airbag goes off and I have plastic pieces fly at us. Finally was the 6l80 transmission that went out. Tons of complaints and gm has known about this for years. I now have to pay out of pocket another $3,500. This thing is a lemon and I can get any help and gm won't issue recalls. It's disgusting to see these billion dollar companies getting bailed out and the consumers are the ones that suffer for them using cheap parts.

I was driving down the street, with my kids in the car, when all of a sudden the door locks went up and down multiple times, the radio screen turned off, and then the whole car just stopped in the middle of the street. I couldn't turn it back on and had to call tow truck. Luckily I was not on the freeway and there were not many cars coming where my car had stopped.
