1 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/20/2017

Vehicle stalls and turns off on its own while driving. No warning. No codes appear on dash. After apprx 5-10 minutes of the car being dead (not able to start) it seems to "reboot" and start back up again without a jump to the battery. The car has stalled on both the freeway (1st time) and city streets. I've taken the car to two different dealers and both are unable to duplicate the problem after having the car for 3 weeks combined. A claim has been submitted to gm but with no resolution. The car just turned off on me this morning while driving my daughter to school located apprx 1 mile away from my home. Both of my daughters have witnessed the problems now 3-4x.
