What owners wrote

Vehicle sensors and warning lights illuminated while the car was in motion on the highway. Pulled car off at nearest exit and turned ignition off. Could not re-start vehicle for 10 min. Finally car started, drove it to dealer, they said it was a loose ground cable & tightened connection. 3 months later vehicle caught fire while in motion going 25MPH on street. Burned cables coming off battery terminal. GM ceased investigation due to the battery in vehicle was not the original factory battery.

Reported at 70,000 miles, August 2020 Fire

The vehicle completely stalls and loses all power. It usually happens when you run the vehicle on the highway and have to come to a stop after exiting. In my case I drove the vehicle for an hour and half and exited the express way. Once, I exited and slowed down to come to a complete stop the engine starts to run rough and just before you completely stop it stalls out. This has happened at least sevne times on a 1400 mile trip. It even happens when you come to a stop behind other cars.
