WAS ABLE TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL, HAD TO MANUALLY OPEN DOOR LOCKS. AFTER 10-15 MINUTES, THE POWER CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE HOME. HAPPENED AGAIN ON 3/23/14.

THE GM DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE OR FIND THE PROBLEM. I FEEL 100% UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH MY KIDS. *TR
