Default 13 Malibu electrical safety issue HELP

My wife was driving to work tonight and said her dashboard just went completely blank then died when she would stop at a light. It happened once before, but started right back up. I am concerned for her safety and will not be letting her drive it until I go to the dealership tomorrow. God forbid my children ride in this car. I have 2 chevy's and if this isn't fixed under warranty, I will get rid of them both!!! This is a huge issue and from what I have read online, this needs to be addressed in the form of a recall. Has anyone discovered what the problem is?

I know what you mean, Carl.

Last 3 weeks or so, after we back out of driveway, head down street, sometimes the dashboard lights go off (not radio screen), for about 3-5 seconds, then come back on like when you 1st turn car on. Sometimes it happens once, sometimes 2-4 times as we're going down the road, less than 35 mph. It also has happened when leaving a parking lot. But it doesn't happen every day.

Ok Chevy, any ideas or solutions?
