Vehicle shuts down while driving and while parked. All electronics shut down, unable to activate hazard lights. Previously payed to fix ABS light/sensor. Dash cracked driver side and passenger side. Has happened multiple times prior.
Engine light on vehicle runs rough/sputters while going down road. Took to 3 mechanics including GM dealer. All stated emissions codes. 1st mechanic replaced purge valve. Light came back on. Same mechanic did smoke test and replaced purge valve stating it must have been faulty. Light came back on. Chevy dealer replaced purge valve. Light came back on. Last mechanic replaced fuel sensor. Light came back on and they stated it now needs a purge valve. In addition, dash stability light comes on but does not go of when button pushed. Dvd player also seems to be constantly whirring. However, main concern is still the engine light that no one seems to know how to fix after I've spent over $1K for several purge valves, smoke test and fuel sensor. These problems ongoing for over a year and no one is able to resolve!
When driving the vehicle the electric will flicker and then the service traction control light will appear on the dash. This happens when driving, parking and starting the engine. Unable to turn off the light with the button on the dash board.
My vehicles engine shuts off while driving. All electrical in the car including power door locks start to open and close when engine shuts off and powers back on. Extremely unsafe especially when driving with all my children in the car.
As I am driving the vehicle turns on and off which is very dangerous while driving. Also the electrical goes bad in the car causing the navigation and radio tongo on and off. Stabiltrak goes off on the vehicle and then comes back on. Today as I am driving my car lost power and now the service airbag light came on.

Engine was idling low and hesitating at low speeds, then engine started running rally rough. Service engine light came on, changed gas in vehicle, problem continued. Engine running really rough and service stabilitrack light came on. Took truck to dealership and was told the first spark plug was fouled due to oil contamination and that engine and fuel injectors and throttle body needed cleaning. This cost $475 and was not covered by warranty.
While driving on the highway I was using the cruise control and the car began to increase in speed without my control. It went from 65 to 90 in a few seconds and I had to slam on the breaks to get it to stop. This has happened several times. Also we can never let the gas get lower then a quarter of a tank or the car just shuts down like its empty. Sometimes the engine will just rev up for no reason and other times it doesn't accelerate properly. You can push the gas and it feels like the speed is delayed but then will catch up.
