| Description of the problem | On multiple occasions when accelerating, highway and subdivision streets, the vehicles trailer brake would engage and the car would become unsafe to continue driving. The vehicle's radio would also randomly restart, the instrument panel would flicker on and off and the power door locks would cycle up and down continuously. The only want to reset the vehicle was to turn it off for a little bit and then back on and the problem would go away for a little while. There are multiple accounts online of other chevy vehicles having very similar issues, all which seem to be related to the negative battery cable not properly handling the load and needing to be replaced. |
