When turning on the vehicle the lights will power surge. One day the vehicle just didn't start. The next day it started and as I was driving down the road I lost thermostat control, the power locks were involuntarily going up and down, the radio shut off, and the speedometer and gauges all went to the left and were not working. When I finally parked the vehicle I could smell an electrical burning smell. The vehicle was in motion for all of this on a 2 lane road.

After parking the vehicle and turning off the engine when the key is pulled out of the ignition the power doors wont release and power windows wont work. When starting the vehicle and turning back off this fixes the problem. This occurs anywhere and specific to parking the vehicle. The remote start works intermittently. Sometimes it will work and keep the vehicle running and other times it wont work at all. This occurs anywhere and specific to the vehicle parked. For no reason, the clock will reset the time and date so it shows 12:00 for the time and 01 01 2005 for the date. This happens no matter if the car has been running then shut off and then driven again or if the car hasn't been driven in a couple of days. These problems have all occurred on different days but have been sporadic and not occurred at the same time. All these problems have been occurring since April of 2019.

This is a recurring problem with my 2014 Suburban Z-71 4X4, first occurring at 2735 miles, and again at 19,367, 19,420, and 20,435 miles. While driving at or above 45 mph, the vehicle has exhibited the following symptoms: Loss of power while the "check engine, " "stabiltrak" and "traction control" warning lights appear. The vehicle information center reads "traction control: Off / stabiltrak: Off" followed by "service traction control" and "service stabiltrak." The readout then shows "engine power reduced." The vehicle will not maintain highway speeds, and requires flooring the accelerator and or shifting the transmission into "manual" mode in order to maintain a safe highway speed. Rpms exceed 3500 unless using manual transmission function. After re-starting the vehicle, some or all warning lights eventually disappear, and the vehicle appears to return to normal. When I took the vehicle to the dealer after the first incident, the vehicle was in service for four and a half days, and was returned with the following comments:"...looked into si and found a pip saying wiggle wires at different spots. Wiggled wires and drove no problems drove well [sic]. no cel on." The tech drove the vehicle for 30 miles and had no problems. A comment on my invoice stated "had pi stating that tech would probably not be able to duplicate concern - checked connectors as per ml." Initial response from service department on current problem set is that they plan to replace parts associated with the accelerator.
