Description of the problem	While driving the electrical functions such as radio and instrument panel will start to flash on and off with the radio display rebooting at intermittent times, and sometimes constantly. Power has on occasion been lost completely while driving. Sometimes the symptoms are only the radio and console below it losing power, but when it gets really frequent, a couple of the instrument warning lights regarding abs and another one i cannot remember off hand flash, and the stabilitrac warning is displaying "service traction control". This can last for 5 minutes or as long as a day or more. I noticed on at least two occasions, the problems started on very humid days at both early morning and evening time frames, and necessarily while driving in rain. When problem gets extremely bad, i usually pull over somewhere and take off the "negative" battery cable for about 20 seconds using a wrench i must carry in the vehicle, forcing the control module of the vehicle to reset. This temporarily fixes the problem for an undetermined amount of time. The vehicle was brought to the chevy dealer and they claimed they couldn't find anything nor have they ever heard of the problem. This problem occurs while vehicle is moving or stationery. This problem also occurs on expressways or city streets. This problem has occured in multiple states(north carolina along the coast and in chicago area. This problem has been ongoing for at least two years . The last time was on sept. 30, 2015. I do have videos that i captured with my phone but it doesn't appear that your website can support them.
