Vehicle seems to loose power, radio & power sterring turn off and back on constantly. Shows message " Service Stability Track". I took it back to the lot where I purchased it, they had 2 different mechanics look at it and they could not figure out what is wrong with it. Picked up the vehicle a week in a half later and the vehicle was fine for a week or so and then it started up again. all power is lost on the vehicle while driving, backing up or parking at times, then it turns back on, on its own. Its like it losses power for a few seconds, steering wheel gets hard and radio turns off. Then it turns back on. Its gotten to the point to where its done it on sharp turns. This not only puts me at risk but other people. No service engine light one, gives either "service stability track" or " service power steering" or " collision sensor maintenance", but not service lights are on, no codes.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE IN A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT AFTER TURNING OFF A CITY STREET. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WAS LUNGING FORWARD INSTEAD OF STOPPING. IT HIT A STEEL FENCE CABLE WHICH PUSHED IT ONTO A METAL FENCE POST AND STOPPED. THE 4 SIDE AIRBAGS OPENED UP AND THE ONE BY THE DRIVER HAD TO BE CUT IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET OUT. MY THUMB WAS JAMBED AGAINST THE STEERING AND LATER FOUND TO BE BROKEN. I WAS IN SHOCK AND NOT SURE WHAT HAD HAPPENED OR HOW. IT MAY BE THAT MY FOOT SLID OFF THE BRAKE WITHOUT MY REALIZING IT, BUT I HAD THE SENSATION OF THE CAR BEING TAKEN OUT OF MY CONTROL. I AM THINKING SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH THE BRAKES BUT SINCE THE CAR WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS AND NOT ROAD DRIVEABLE I WAS TOLD THERE WASN'T ANY WAY TO TEST AND VERIFY THAT.

I keep getting a message stating "service side detection system" every time my car is started. This happened shortly after getting a car wash. I no longer can use the blind spot system in my car. I have done some research online and have seen that this is a common issue in chevy cars, (NHTSA Bulletin Subject N172097060) and I'm seeing a few videos pop up on Youtube(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW6pyWp2uKo). I have yet to take it to the dealer as I keep reading online that it will cost $500+ to fix but I'm willing to in order to get some kind of investigation started to make Buick/GM pay for the repair.
