When going in reverse, or coming off a red light or stop sign, the vehicle will suddenly stall out. While it starts up right away, this is a safety issue, especially if you have to get out of the way. My vehicle has done this about 4-6 times over the past year. Chevy says there is nothing wrong, and there are no warning lights on the vehicle. All the electrical components work, however the vehicle just turns off.
