Description of the problem	Having intermittent start problems that seem to be caused by an electrical problem. The truck will not start or turn over while dash warnings indicate "parking asst off" and "traction stability off". Initially it was just these issues along with the non start but now 4 weeks and $588. 04 later includes the power locks going up and down by themselves and ac blowing hot air. Fortunately the vehicle was parked when i tried to start it. The chevy dealer said at first they thought it had been struck by lightning then claimed it was the onstar module which they wanted to replace at $699. I advised them i don't use onstar so they said they could disconnect it from the rest of the vehicle and that worked fror a few weeks. The truck drove beautifully but now is back at the dealership and they want to replace the onstar module again which clearly isn't the problem. I love the truck but can't afford several hundred dollars every few weeks on this. I need a real solution to this problem and i know that this is a known issue because i have researched this problem and found it to be a gm issue that is affecting many, many others beside myself and as far back as the 2006 models. If it goes back that far and with so many other people there has to be a solution. Please somebody help me find it!!!!
