Engine will shut off going down the road then after several minutes it will start again. Also I have had the headlights go out driving at night they will suddenly go out.
The airbag deactivated light on the dash cluster comes on and off but mostly stays on now. No codes showing the cause. While driving both low beam headlights suddenly turned off, later diagnosis showed an electrical issue that melted both low beam light connectors and wires at the bulb end, new connectors were installed. Two different times within 1yr the heater blower motor relay has gotten hot enough to melt the connector and burn out the relay, connector replaced twice and currently melting again as fan speed 1, 4, and 5 have again stopped working. Heater blower motor also replaced twice concurrent with relay.
Headlamp driver module not working right. Headlights go out while driving. Just started happening. Chevy said will not pay for as it is past the July 29 expiration. I was driving down the highway at night. Headlights went completely out. Very scary. They said I will have to pay to have it fixed as it is no longer their problem. This happened to me a few years ago with the fuel gauge. It shows I have no gas in my car when I actually have full tank. Never had it fixed because it costs too much and chevy said past expiration date.
Headlights turn off while driving. Happens with regularity. Headlight relay defective. No replacement part available. Gm denies that a recall exists.

Headlights went out while driving at night. Only brights worked. Rear driver's side window went down mysteriously and would not go up for 24 hrs. Daytime running lights (drl) not working.
While driving down the road my headlights would go out. We put a new fuse in that has helped for a while. Now about 2 months ago I shut my car off and opened the doorthe radio would not shut off so I turned my car on and back off it went off that time. I took my daughter into dance went out to get something out of my car and my headlights were still on. So I turned my car on and off looked still on so I went back to watch my daughters dance. After another hour it was time to go home walked outside headlights were still on. Got home my husband looked at it and tried turning them off nothing would turn them off. So he pulled the fuses he said the relay was so hot he couldn't even touch it. So I have no dim lights unless I carry fuses with me to out in and take out or I just can't drive it at night.
While driving during the day all of the speakers started going in and out. This has happened for the last year. As of now only the very front dash speakers are audible but very faint. The other issue we're having is at night the headlights will completely go out. We will immediately have to pull over and wait for the car to decide when the lights will come back on.
While driving down the interstate the low beam headlights shut off. We pulled over as it was nighttime and turned on the high beams. A few minutes later we were able to use the low beams again. This has happened repeatedly since then. Just once in awhile until recently. Just last night, July 09, 2014; they turned off at least eight times going to and from church which is about 7 miles from my home. This is a very dangerous and scary thing to happen. We mentioned it to the dealership awhile back and they said unless it was happening right at this moment they wouldn't be able to find out the problem. I love my vehicle, except for the electrical issues (lights, wipers, stereo, etc. ). Please help!.
