Traveling on interstate highway electrical stops . Difficulty turning wheel no signals or hazards lights available. Brakes difficult to press. Gratefully, traveling in the right lane at 5pm traffic. Chevy dealer said bad o2 sensor changed. Traveling approx 300 miles again sudden electrical halt. Fuel tank filter changed. A large expense. Then 400 miles on interstate sudden electrical failure. Taken to chevy dealer they found it to be the electrical connection in the ignition.
