2021 ST Tahoe diesel 4wd.
48,000 miles

No problems until while driving city streets speed my Tahoe’s engine turns off, shifts to neutral, electronics stay on.

I have to put flashers on, pull over to a full stop then restart the engine. It always cranks right up like nothing happened. There are no other symptoms before or after. The incident does not trigger any engine error codes at the dealership.

Any suggestions?
Misrouted harness and subsequent wear. Look it up in recalls. In particular look near the alternator bracket. Do you ever get weird dashboard messages regarding brakes and cruise control and collision avoidance system? Should get some codes, but if the ECM has a power interruption, maybe not.

Hello all and thanks for your help. I think the issue was fixed. After checking all the grounds for the 3rd time a tech finally found (hopefully) the issue. A connection pin for one of the grounds was bent up and didn’t have proper contact and the bolt was loose. The tech said it looked hand tightened. It’s been a few days and So far so good.
