Default Electrical Gremlins?

This may definetly qualify as one of the oddest issues I've ever had with a vehicle. I can be driving down the street and all of a sudden my radio will go off and the car will start calling Onstar, without me touching a thing. Anyone ever experience this?

I've never heard of anyone else saying it, I talked to a guy at the dealer today ( service advisor), he looked at me like I was nuts, and said I must've pressed something by mistake lol. I'm pretty sure I would know if my hand made it way up to the rearview mirror.

My climate contols completely quit, no blower, nothing would work on any setting, ac, heater defroster, nothing, and the infromation center had a --- where the temperature was supposed to be displayed. It really sucked because my window fogged up and I had just turned on the highway and had to lean across the car to see to get off. I restarted the car and everything was fine, hopefully the dealer can find what went wrong because this is dangerous if the defroster/defogger wont work. As for your probem with the onstar try wiggling the mirror and the wire behind it to see if there is a probem up there. Problems like these suck because they will probably happen at a time when you cant get to the dealer and not happen again for months and they wont fix anything that they cannot duplicate.

Are you sure you're not holding down the "Call" button on the steering wheel by accident?
