Yea dude, after all the stuff you've been through in other threads, I'd say it's time to pursue the lemon law.

Mine shut off twice, then RPM flickering without engine running. They could not duplicate the problem as of yet. Ill report more once they figure this one out.

Honestly, all of this looks to be the typical teething problems of a first-year model.

Well customer service at GM has been a disappointment so far. I am waiting on the dealer to figure out what is causing the problem, as of now they can't locate it. This is my third problem. Lets see if GM steps up to the table to replace this car or ensure that I have a working product.. I will keep you informed.

This has nothing to do,with 1st year problems. It is clearly a connection short problem and the engine is not getting clean amps/volts to start and run the engine. It can happen on a car 2 months old , or 15 years old. If a dealer does not Persue diagnosis on this, find a new dealer. Rediculous......
