Monday 5th 2022, (2pm)I was driving with the ac on high as I had just left the mall. The interior was hot. As I left the mall and came to a stop light. . . The car would rev at stop, and continue to do so until the light changed. I had the oil and transmission fluid changed at 135000. It is currently at 138000. I turned off the ac because it did not seem to work (to cool the car down) and rolled the windows down and open the sun roof. Tuesday 6th, I was leaving the store (4pm) and again I turned the ac on and approached a stop light. When I stopped at the light, the car started revving or idling in pulses again as it did on Monday, however as I went to turn right onto the street, there was no power steering at all. Startled, I pressed the brake, shifted into park, turned the SUV off. Then restarted the SUV and the steering had returned to normal. I kept the ac off and drove home.

When driving my steering wheel jerks causing vehicle to veer, stabilitrak snd traction lights flash, lights flicker all the while driving. Vehicle nearly lost control while doing so. Auto shop cannot duplicate the issue nor any codes pop up . Very dangerous for a family while we are driving and saw many complain about this issue.
There is an issue with the radio head unit that causes a high pitched noise, even when the radio is off. It happens with anything connected to the radio, like the indicator, seatbelt warning, door ajar warning. The high pitch noise causes migraines and nausea in drivers and passengers. Issue has been ongoing for months. All 3 radio heads installed by dealer have emitted this sound. Dealer refuses to send in 3rd new unit. Relief from sound only happens when the fuse for the radio head unit is pulled. Attaching a picture of the sound frequency after opening the door, car not on.
I have been having issues with the electrical components of the stabilitrak and abs systems. I have also been having problems with the electrical system that runs the instrumentation for the air,heat and blower. The main problem is that there is a crack on the dash in the left hand corner of the passenger air bag. This has been well documented by thousands on the internet. I called gm and they said there are no recalls but they issued a case #. This case # applies to all three problems for my vehicle.
Cracking dashboard! deep cracks running up to and along the airbag.
