How long have you had the car? Is it a recent purchase?

You’ve had the car only 6 months, and this is new problem or has it been this way for the 6 months? I’d have the car checked over for possible flood damage. Weird electrical problems are a symptom of a car that got water in the electronics. I think you are best dealing with a GM dealer to identify the problem.
