Default Dash Going Crazy

I have a 2010 Base Model C6 - I'll can be driving down the road everything shuts down radio goes off and AC shuts off and all my lights on the dash goes off and on all the service messages comes on and off but the car keeps running.
I've checked all plugs to the CPU I've replaced the Alternator and replaced the Battery and I still have the problem please help.
I've even checked the kick plate on the passenger floor board.

I seem to remember a post awhile back about a connector under the kick panel on the passenger side that when someone sat in the passenger seat and pushed on the floor it caused similar erratic behavior. You might want to check your fuse box and see if wiggling any of the connector cause similar behavior. I'd also probably check all the fuse and make sure none are loose while I was in there.

Well I've looked and looked and the problem keep getting worst, so I went to the local Chevy Dealer and traded it in on a 2019 Corvette Stingray...
So problem solved for me now the dealer has to find it. I told them the problem and they seam to think they can fix it.

When you say you "looked and looked", that's pretty vague. If you are saying that you had a number of competent professionals try to diagnose the problem and they failed, then I get it. Either way, if what you wanted was a new(er) vette, then for sure enjoy your new ride. Presumably, it's got a warranty, etc.

That's what I call throwing the checkbook at it. Good for you!

sounds familiar to me also. I might add when crazy things start happening on this car.......a faulty battery is the cause

Well took everyone's advice on checking all the normal spots that some people had problems with so I went to New Battery, New alternator, checked the Starter for any thing loose and checked the kick plate on the passenger side and all ground wires. I even checked all the connections on the main computer. I even went so far as checking the wires under the drivers seat because it moves every time my wife moved it to drive. It was starting to cost more and more cash with out any results. So my best bet was to just move on and invest in a new car.

I'm going thru that problem right now. I have changed positive battery terminal to a Stinger post. I still had the issue the other day. I was hoping to find out what is was. Congrats on the 2K19 though...
