Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2017 Chevrolet Suburban

While driving at different speeds, or during breaking and acceleration, the entire vehicle shirts off including the engine, a message flashes in the dash stabil brake, then the vehicle is dead while moving. sometimes it turns back on automatically, other times i have to attempt to start it multiple times.

While driving a message will flash service stabilitrak light will come on then a second or two later the vehicle will loose all it's power. the vehicle will shut down while driving. once while driving at 53 miles per hour while on city street during mid traffic and twice while driving a low speed making a turn.

This vehicle keeps having key fob, electrical issues, tire service maintenance issues, and now engine issues related to the key fob. the key fob keeps saying it is not detected. recently, while driving on road at about 48 mph, key fob notification came on dashboard saying key fob was not detected, engine shut off and car had to be restarted again using fob box inside glove compartment, this was particularly alarming. the key fob has had batteries replaced and they work because the car will remote start and have tried batteries in other items. the fob does not however let you unlock the car or finish starting it out of the remote start once you get into the car and try to start it, the car tells you it cannot detect the remote. the car has had numerous key fob issues and has been taken into local chevrolet dealer who cannot find issue. the car has also had 142 hard braking events since april 2019 to november 2019 according to on star reports. the tire service monitor keeps flashing that there are issues with tires. the rear wiper would not shut itself off even though button was in off position. all of these issues have not been able to be repaired at the chevy dealer. this car is going back in for service 11/18/19 for these issues again. not sure what the outcome will be until after this appointment. my guess is that it is some kind of electronic circuitry problem(s) but unfortunately the dealer says they cannot find any issue(s) or problem(s) until it completely shuts down. these events are ongoing and have been occurring intermittently since november 2018. all i can provide is photos of the dashboard showing what it relates to me unfortunately i have no documentation of engine shutting off only a photo of what dashboard showed when it happened.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet suburban. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled. the contact stated that the electronic stability control warning light was illuminated. the gear shift lever was placed in the park position and the vehicle was turned off and back on. the vehicle was taken to dan vaden brunswick located at 121 altama connector, brunswick, ga 31525, (912) 292-4089, to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the body control module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer had been informed of failure. the failure mileage was 36,000.

We were in motion and the car suddenly died completely. we were later to learn that the body control module (bcm) had shorted out. we leased the car brand new and had only had it for three months when this occurred. thankfully we were not in a busy road when it happened, otherwise we could have been killed. on top of this, the chevrolet dealership to where the vehicle was towed told us that it was not covered under warranty and required us to pay to replace the bcm (initially they quoted around $700, but then after we complained, they said they'll "split it with us" and reduced it to around $350).
