5 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2014

My car keeps shutting off while im driving it. . It is now not even turning on at this point. I try to start it and wont turnover. Last week while driving down the highway at speed 35-40, my radio and a/c turned off, then the car began to slow down, then shut off in the middle of the highway. I want to add how extremely dangerous this is for me (7 months preganant, and 2 little girls in car). I tried scheduling an appointment several times for the electrical recall and have been scheduled far out.

6 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 12/04/2013

Vehicle shutdown while driving on highway, several times. The car electric turns off and or flashes, stabiltrak lights come on and flashes, check engine flashing, car completely shuts down, steering is electronic or motor powered and is hard to use, transmisiion jerks before shutdown and breaks dont work very well. Ran over curb and off the road to avoid colliding with other vehicles. Picture, im driving on a highway at night doing 65 or so, all power goes out, its dark, other cars can not see me well, they are swerving and im swerving. This happened first around 20k and has happened on several occasions after. No corrections offered by gm under warranty, complaints were completely ignored, until murdock chevy in manhattan KS. They are currently trying to get it fixed and gave me a loner car, all other servicing dealers refused a loaner car, and told me its fixed each time. Car still has the problems listed and no solution is given from gm or chevy to fix this deadly situation. Also damage to the car from an engine overheat or dashboard overheat at the same time damaging electric, windshield, radio, guages and dash compartment lever. Extreme heat, burning smell inside. Floorboard by the feet melts carpet and burns feet, all at the same time, on drives of 30 minutes or more.
