Truck will lose all power, everything will shut off, and then come right back on. It has happened while accelerating into traffic, slowing down turning right and turning left, and while moving straight ahead. It has been in the shop once for this same issue and they tell me they cannot find anything wrong with it. The stabilitrac warning will come on and go off and have had stall warning flash in traffic at stop lights. This has been going on for the last 12,000 miles and I have 20,083 miles on truck now. The clock and radio reset. It shutdown pulling into traffic on a busy highway and was a very dangerous situation. Been trying to get it into dealership since 3 weeks ago and no luck. This is not the only issues with this truck.

While driving 41-60mph, the truck starts to idle as if the brakes are being pushed on one tire and the brake pedals and gas pedal tend to vibrate as if it were to fall off. After awhile doing that, the stability control light message comes on after reaching the middle of the coolant temperature and the problem goes away. Seems like it does it when it's on low temperature.
First the controls on the steering wheel stopped working, while driving on a normal street in town. Then the stabilitrak service message and check engine light came on while driving down the highway. When the message came up the truck would no longer go when the gas pedal was pressed. Pulled over and turned off the stabilitrak in order to make it home and the truck shifted very hard into each gear and only would shift between 3000 and 3500 rpms.
Service stabilatract comes on before I start the truck still since the day I bought it the dealership does not know what's wrong. And since I bought the truck the tranny really bangs and clunks a lot it's annoying when trying to drive in stop and go traffic it gear chases way to much. It can't be good for the tranny life.
Loss of power steering assist when first starting the vehicle. A message is displayed on the info panel in the center of the dash and all steering capability is lost. It's impossible to turn the steering wheel when this happens. Both times the vehicle has been stationary and I've been able to correct the problem by disconnecting the battery and then reconnecting it. I've reported this issue to the local Chevrolet service center and they told me to continue monitoring the problem. I'm obviously concerned that this will happen when I'm driving, since, like I've already mentioned, you completely lose the ability to turn the steering wheel. Other messages pop as well. "traction control system requires servicing." "trailer brake requires servicing." Many of the electrical features on the dash quit working.
This has happened twice. The vehicle will not shift into gear, the power steering doesn't work, and other electronic options do not work. This has only happened when the vehicle is stationary. The first time it was parked and started, the weather was around 50F and clear. The second time was after getting gas while parked, the weather was clear and around 82F. After the vehicle sits for 10-15 minutes (off after the first start) you can restart the vehicle and it will go into gear but in a limp mode state. The power steering light will work but the vehicle does not shift correctly and the radio does not work correctly. These incidents happened approximately 5 months apart.
