2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport Electronic stability control Problems

“While driving - or even sitting still - radio and clock will shut off, service stabilitrack light illuminates on dash with the message showing on the message center dash display. After 5 seconds or so, it disappears; however occurs often but no consistent (sometimes none at all, some times 4 or so times in a 20mi drive). Battery and alternator are brand new (alternator has been replaced twice in 12 months). Vehicle is owned outright and has 142,000+ miles.”

“Initially the issue presented as occasional brake light outage. Soon after this became permanent. It also affects the reverse lights making it so that they're always on, even when the car isn't running. In addition, the interior lights (doors and overhead) are affected and no longer work.

It was no longer safe to drive around mid-march 2019. I had to take it in to a auto electric specialist twice starting april 2019. …”

“After driving and parking, the vehicle at the store. The vehicle constantly looses all power and will not start and there are no warning signs.

Replaced battery, positive battery cable, and 1 week later the problem started again. No problem with the starter, alternator. No loose wires and there is no electrical shortage. Researched the problem on the internet and this appears to be a common problem with this type of vehicle. …”
