This has now happened twice. In 2016, my car shut off while driving and I was able to start back up. The pass lock flashed and then it shut off. I changed the key thinking that would fix the problem. In 2017 the something happened again. I went to the dealership and they said they don't think it's the ignition switch and that was it.

The vehicle vibrates heavily while in idle. The car will be in the drive position at a stop. The car acts as if it is about to stall out. Which presents a huge hazard with children in the car. We have replaced the engine mounts,spark plugs, coils, boots, intake flush and performed routine maintenance. I have read that numerous trailblazers have encountered the same issue with no resolution! My biggest fear is for a car to stall and an injury to occur a a direct result.

I can smell as if something burning, on different occasion.the headlights would randomly shut off, while driving. I would switch to high beam in order to see. The back hatch window, locks when it wants to. The airbag indicator lights come on and stay on awhile. The vehicle will stall and then accelerate at times. The tire pressure lights, does not come on when pressure is low. The check engine light comes on, and stay on awhile, and then goes off, and comes back on. The climate control heater system blows cold air. At one time the key would not come out of the ignition. Had to continue to giggle the key to get it out of ignition. Noticed my headlights did not come on when I used the remote entry to unlock or lock the door. The windows stall when going up or down. I have contacted gm , but they are telling me that my make,model and year are not part of the current recall. And that the letter they sent me, was to purchase warranty for the vehicle. I feel that this vehicle is not safe due to this electrical problems.
