3 Door Latch problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2009

1. Door locks failed. Have been replaced multiple times. As a result, my 7 week old baby got locked in the car in 100 degree weather in August. It continues to be an issue and often I have to resort in climbing through the back tailgate. 2. Stabilitrack and traction control lights flash. Sometimes after these lights flash, my vehicle will go into "reduced power mode" on its on which is very dangerous going 65 mph or pulling out from somewhere. 3. My wipers work when they want to. . . Ever since the two recalls Chevrolet released, the work intermittently when they want to. 4. Major electrical issues with these vehicles. . . . I have replaced the battery four times and something continues to drain it.
