I JUST LEFT WORK, MY TRUCK WAS PARKED FOR 8, HRS. AFTER 3, MINUTES OF DRIVING THE SERVICE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER A COUPLE MINS. I TURNED DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND THEN THE FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON: CHECK ENGINE, LOW FUEL ( IT WAS HALF FULL), TRACTION CONTROL, DRIVE WITH CAUTION, STREARING ASSIST OFF. THE ELECTRICAL PANEL WENT CRAZY AND I LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED CHEVY ROADSIDE ASSIST. THEY TOWED THE TRUCK TO COX CHEVROLET, WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW ONLY A YEAR AGO. THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND I HAD TO DRIVE IT BACK HOME. THIS IS CLEARLY A MALFUNCTION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE IT.
