Description of the problem	The radio and dash board lights (service stabilitrak) have been flashing on and off then this evening while driving on a straight road, the "service power steering" light flashed on and my steering wheel locked up. That continued for approx. 2 minutes then started working correctly. When i got home and pulled into my parking spot and turned my car off everything turned off, including my interior lights and i couldn't remove my key from the ignition. I let it sit for approx. 5 minutes then tried to start the car and it did turn on so i turned it off again and i was able to remove the key. The dealership i bought the car from two months ago (used, with 38k miles) told me that this is not covered under the power train warranty but would have been covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty (expired before i bought the car). Now, i'm responsible for paying for a serious defect that could potentially result in a serious or fatal incident. Chevrolet/general motors -- please fix this without causing consumers any further monetary, physical, or emotional issues. !.... Updated 07/31/14 *bf
