2008 Chevrolet Avalanche Electronic stability control Problems

“Commuting to work approximately 3 miles away from home, traveling in the dark at 7 am, I flipped my high beam headlights on and suddenly all electrical function went out of the automobile (no headlights or electrical instrumentation). This lasted for approximately 1 to 2 seconds and suddenly and all electrical functions was restored. Things after that seemed ok, but about 6 miles down the road the engine service stabilizer control light appears . I traveled another 11 miles to plainville, and when I arrived the stabilizer control light went out. …”

“Lost complete power of car. Could not steer, or brake. Happened in snow. Since that time it has happened 5 other times. 3 in the last week with the snow and rain. There is a great potential for loss of life. Have researched this for months and there are many Avalanche owner with the same problem.”

“Vehicle chimes went off, check engine light came on, started displaying stabilitrak disabled, traction control disabled, service stabilitrak, also truck is losing oil without any visible signs of leakage, no oil smell, no oil light displayed.”

“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. …”

“The vehicle doors will unlock and lock several times while I'm driving, it will also cause the dashboard, clock-radio and onstar system to flicker off and on. Then it will start to throw error messages on the dashboard about stabilitrak and theft deterrent systems disabled.”
