While driving the vehicle lost all power and after about 20 seconds power came back on. The repair was the battery cables which was apparently very common on the make and model of vehicle. It's unsafe and can cause an accident and apparently happens on the majority of vehicles same year and make.

Trailer Brake system Service Message Took it to the dealer service department and was told that a diagnostic would be needed to find problem $225, if the wiring harness is indeed defective it would be over $500 in parts and $600 in labor. A picture of the light coming on while driving was produced to the dealer service department. It first appear when driving on the freeway and we have never towed anything with this vehicle. Upon further online research we found out that this is a common and serious problem with GMC and Chevy vehicles like the Canyon, Sierra, Silverado, Yukon, Tahoe, Suburban, Colorado from years 2015-2020.

My doors lock with the car with the keys in the car, my kids were in my car and I got locked out with my keys in it, there was a battery replacement done when I took my car in for a recall notice a month ago (maybe 2 months), also the lock button works but when I push the middle button it will not auto start, when I push the button on the handle outside the car door it will not unlock, & my car will tell me that my remote isn't detected when the keys are in the car. I was at home when it locked with my kids in the car I put them in the car and I walked around to the other side of the car and it locked that quickly in my driveway at home not even running not moving.

The stability track lights keeps coming on and off. Dealer can't seem to find out what the problem is. It does not leave a code in order to find out what the problem is. When the light comes on it affects the cruise control and steering assist. This occurs while driving the vehicle. It doesn't matter if you are on a city street or highway.
