While driving my entire dashboard goes dark and once I shut my car off it did not start again. Brought it to the mechanic who is rated as 5 stars, to have no codes come up. He has been looking for the answer for over 5 months now. Car will start for a short time then do the same thing all over again. No clicking when turning the key, new battery put in, remote control module replaced and car still doesn’t start. I still owe on this car and have no idea what to do with it.

What owners say
gm issued a warranty extension/ service bulletin for the rear blind spot modules for water intrusion which can cause the airbag light to illuminate as well as shut off other features of the vehicle on the gmc acadia and other models while excluding the traverse, which is essentially the same vehicle as the traverse. the vehicle listed above is currently experiencing the blind spot module failure, which in turn is causing thee vehicle to stall unexpectedly, blinkers do not function intermittently, remote start does not function intermittently, door locks do not function unless locked from inside the vehicle intermittently and will not start intermittently. all of these concerns are alleviated by replacing the blind spot modules.
Thia vehicle regularly stalls or will not start due to frequency congestion with the ignition. I have started the vehicle several times and started to back up and the vehicle has stalled. This could be dangerous for obvious reasons. The dealer: bennett chevrolet in egg harbor township was notified me and stated there was no fix for this issue. They gave me a printout of all cars that experience this type of interference, but I believe it to be more dangerous to the operation of the vehicle than it is being treated. Please advise. This vehicle has stalled or not started for several minutes throughout the country, but main use is in atlantic county. The video of the problem could not be uploaded, but I do have one from january 7,2019.
Noticed a loud noise coming from the engine area when I accelerated and turned the steering wheel. This happened in the city and on the highway. I took it to two mechanics who both diagnosed it with a leak in the power steering pump. They said there is a hole. This car is less than two years old and this is not normal. Also, my car continues to die when not in motion. Although my car says the battery is charged, when I go to start my car it won't start. I always make sure nothing is left on in her car. It started doing this two weeks after I bought it and it has continued since nice then. This is definitely not normal either.
While driving my 2017 chevrolet traverse at interstate speeds, the vehicle, without warning, shut down. When I say shut down, I mean shut off completely. This was a complete loss of all power to the car. The engine shut off, the lights (internal and external) shut off, there was no power steering, the brakes where difficult to push down, etc. As I am now coasting down the interstate with no power to the car I put it in neutral and turned on my flashers. With no power steering and brakes that are stiff, I somehow was able to slowly force the car to the side of the interstate and get it to stop. I tried to restart the vehicle and it would not start. I put it in park and sat there for a few minutes before trying again. Once I tried, the vehicle started and I was able to drive home without further incident. The morning after this incident, I started up my traverse and noticed that the fuel gauge is showing empty, but the car had a half of a tank when I got home last night. There is something serious going on with this traverse and chevrolet vehicles in general. This is the 2nd different vehicle that I have owned that has shut down while driving down the road. The 1st car was a 2016 chevrolet impala.
