2015 Chevrolet Captiva SUV FWD

Periodically when driving, there will be an electrical issue involving various electrical components as follows: Service Traction Control warning message, radio goes out, dashboard warning lights flash on/off suddenly. Also, the car will appear completely dead/unresponsive can cannot be started. The key will get stuck in the ignition. This is currently the situation. These occurances can happen 3 to 5 times per week. We cannot identify a particular set of circumstances that creates the situation. It seems to happen randomly. Other owners of the Chevy Captiva have reported having similar problems. To fix the problem, I have separately had the Body Control Module replaced, replaced the battery and had a grounding wire replaced. The problem remains unresolved. Since this appears to be a common issue with the Chevy Captiva, I would like GM to investigate and propose a solution. I am willing to pay for the solution, but we (owners, dealers and repair shops) need to know how to repair the vehicle.

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IT'LL MAKE A ROUGH SOUND AND THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF. O HAVE TO TURN ON THE IGNITION TWICE BEFORE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE HAS POOR POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. I'VE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND CONSISTANY WHEN DRIVING THE AC COMPRESSOR STARTS TO MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND CLUTCH WILL ACTUALLY RUN BACKWARDS. IF IT BUSTS A BELT AND CAUSES THE STEARING TO STOP WORKING TO TO CAR SHUTTING DOWN WILL CAUSE MAJOR INJURIES OR DEATH. IHAVE BEEN WORKING ON CARS FAR ALMOST 20 YEARS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A PAVED ROAD, THE CAR BEGAN SWERVING FROM SIDE TO SIDE ,UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND RAN INTO THE DITCH WITH TOTAL DAMAGE TO CAR AND INJURIES TO THE DRIVER. AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON.

CAPTIVA WILL STUTTER AND STALL UP CURVED HILLS AT 2000RPM IN DANGEROUS UNEXPECTED PLACES. WILL NOT THROW A CODE!!! IN ECO MODE AND AUTOMATIC DURING THE INCIDENTS. TOOK OUT OF ECO MODE AND RAISED TO 3000RPM TO PULL UP THE HILL. GAUGES FLAT LINED SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE INCIDENTS.
