   vehicle has 19000 miles on it. While driving, the engine died in traffic. I was sent a code from on-star of P129F. I had the suv towed by AAA to the nearest Chevy dealer and had to get a hotel.

The first time it happened was in July of 2024 at 72,000 miles, again in October of 2024 at 80,000 miles, again in May of 2026 at 112,000 miles, and most…

    While driving, the car began stalling, and the info window said to shift to "neutral" and restart the vehicle. Attempted this, and the car just stopped in the middle of the street, unable to move it to the side.
