1 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 05/06/2016

On my way to work, I was making a next turn at a light when my car all of a sudden shut off and then turned back on twice in a matter of 15 seconds. This is very dangerous, if it wasn't for the very attentive drivers, I could've been rammed!!! the second incident was after I got off of work. My car was in a parking garage when this happened. I tried starting my car and it wouldn't start. I tried a second time and it started but the engine was revving really hard, like I was about to speed off or something. I turned the car off again and started it again for the third time and "service stabilitrak, service traction control, and reduced engine power" all come up on the service screen. After reading multiple forums online with hundreds of complaints about this. I was scared to drive home. I drove at about 40 mph all the way home (my job is a 25-30 min commute) and fortunately I didn't get stranded and my car didn't turn off in the middle of driving like some folk have experienced. Gm needs to address this problem. Why isnt there a recall yet?!.

2 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2014

The car keeps running after it is turned off. The fan also keeps running, then the next morning the car wouldn't start. The air won't turn down and sometimes it doesn't work at all. There doesn't seem to be a difference between air and defrost. While I am driving, the light keep getting dim, then brighter, then dim, then bright. It was the next morning then when it wouldn't start! sometimes when we put the key in, we couldn't get it out. We had to keep trying to turn it on and off, then it finally let us take the key out.
