Hi there, I drive a 2013 Chevy Malibu LT. Has about 103,330 miles on it and it is my daily driver. Recently I’ve had my dash lights turn off, my power steering going out, along with the radio turning on and off while I drive. I had a mechanic check all my fuses and the interment gauge cluster and it was all working fine. Checked the alternator, battery voltage while being on and off and it was working fine. The serpentine belt is also in good condition. So we changed the oil and topped off the coolant hoping my car wasn’t just choking it’s self out. That helped for a short period of time while today I was trying to make a right turn and I got a “Service Stabiltrak” light on and my wheel would no longer turn. I immediately turned on my hazard lights and parked my car, turned it off and turned it back on, put it in drive and drove home without anymore issues. Wondering what the problem is here. Headlights also seem to malfunction when this happens as well. Check engine light is also always on

Step 1: Have the codes read and share them here.

Check any and all batteries. A weak battery can do all sorts of stuff to modern computerized cars.

I have the same thing going on with my car, it has been at the dealer since 12/22/20 they replaced the positive and negative cables, a couple different grounds, the battery, and refreshed the BCM. I am still having issues and was going to try to swap the ECM, have you figured out this problem on yours?

I don't think your car has been at the dealer long enough. Just starting month 5 is like landing at base camp. By September you should be nearing the summit and that's when it gets magical.

Perhaps quoting the OPs post will spur an update. The OP didn't seem interested in previous input.
