I was driving down the street and my car started to randomly jerk. When I pushed the gas the car got slower. Once in a safe place I pulled over and sat there for a few minutes. When I accelerated again the car had a sound like the car was speeding up, but there was no speed. It drifted. So I crossed the traffic light and pulled over again. I turned the car off. I waited for about 5 minutes, turned the car on and that's when the engine light came on. I had to drive slower to make it home. Once I made it home I put the car in Reverse and noticed that my back up camera was not working as well. I am so frustrated.

This vehicle has completely lost power and stalled on the freeway twice. The first time, I was with my wife and children when it happened on the highway. The vehicle stalled in the far right lane of traffic and it wouldn't restart. We had to risk our lives and push the vehicle off the freeway and onto the shoulder while other vehicles raced by. We are fortunate that we did not die or become seriously injured. The second time the vehicle stalled on the highway, my wife was crossing the highway and the vehicle once again lost all power and shut-off. She is fortunate that she was not killed in a T-bone collision. The first time, there was a dash warning stating to SERVICE ESC. The second time, there was no warning lights or dash illumination of a problem beforehand. The vehicle has been taken to the Chevrolet dealership twice. They ran a diagnostic and stated the starter was pulling too many amps which caused the vehicles fuse block to blow, resulting in total failure of all vehicle components. Total repair cost for first repair was approximately 1,000 dollars. We are awaiting the service advisors diagnostic for this second incident. The first repair is covered under a 2 year unlimited mile warranty so hopefully when they replace the starter and fuse block this time, they will also find the root cause of the problem. I feel as if our lives and well-being are in jeopardy since the first incident and we no longer feel safe driving this vehicle which has stalled twice during highway conditions. I am confident that we will no longer be GM consumers due to these life risking incidents.

THE SURROUND VISION SYSTEM NOT WORKING. IT WAS OCCASIONALLY, NOW IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. WE ONLY GET A DARK SCREEN WITH A RED HAZARD TRIANGLE. IT STARTED THE DAY WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE ANOTHER CAR LIKE MINE AHEAD OF ME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SINCE THE LAST WEEK OF DECEMBER THEY HAVE CLAIMED THAT GM DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. I MADE A COMPLAINT WITH MY CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE # 9-6485705057, BUT I DON'T GET ANY ANSWERS FROM THEM EITHER. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS SYSTEM IS TIED INTO THE ADAPTIVE BRAKING/CRUSE, BUT I HAVE YET TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TAKE ACTION IN THAT REGARD. IN CHECKING THAT OUT. I GOT WAY CLOSER THAN I FELT COMFORTABLE WITH, I KEEP WAITING FOR THE CAR TO REACT TO THE CLOSING DISTANCE BUT IT NEVER DID. I BACKED IT OFF MYSELF. I WAS WELL WITHIN TWO CAR LENGTHS OF THE VEHICLE AHEAD (55 MPH) AND CLOSING IN AT ABOUT 3 OR 4 MPH. IF YOU HAVE TO BE CLOSER THAN THAT FOR IT TO ACTIVATE THEN I WILL NOT BE USING IT. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS DEALERSHIP FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND HAVE PURCHASED 3 AUTOMOBILES FROM THEM. THEY HAVE PERFORMED THE REGULAR SERVICE AND WARRANTY WORK ON ALL OF THEM WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. FOR THEM TO HAVE AN ISSUE FIXING IT IS NOT TYPICAL OF THE SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED FROM THEM IN THE PAST. SO, WHEN THEY TELL ME GM DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE TO BELIEVE THEM UP TO A POINT. WITH THE SMALL WINDOWS IN THE BACK OF THIS VEHICLE. VISIBILITY IS EXTREMELY LIMITED, AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THEY CAN'T KEEP THE BASIC SURROUND VISION SYSTEM WORKING. HOW ARE THEY GOING TO MAINTAIN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES TO A LEVEL THAT PROTECTS ALL INVOLVED?
