CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS. ALL POWER IS LOST (INCLUDING STEERING). SOMETIMES (WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY) IT TURNS ITSELF BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS - AND I KEEP ON DRIVING, SOMETIMES I CAN SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND RESTART AND SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE, BUT USUALLY I HAVE TO TURN MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND MUSSEL THE STEERING WHEEL OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND TRY TO RESTART IT. THEN - THE 'SECURITY' LIGHT IS ON AND IT WON'T LET ME START THE CAR. I'VE FOUND COUNTLESS POSTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ISN'T A RECALL. ISN'T GM BEING SUED FOR A VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM? *TR
