Couple summers ago I had these two warnings pop up on my 2009 Coupe while in southern TX on a trip. Car drove normal just kept throwing codes every time it was started all the way home to WA state. Got it into the dealer and the problem was diagnosed in my case as a failed right front wheel sensor. Nearest one was located in Reno, NV and sent to my dealer. Next week I returned, the sensor was replaced and the codes cleared. No issues since then. 33,000 miles now.

Happened to me several weeks after purchase and the fix included a couple wheel sensors and a body control module. I was still under warranty. The HVAC head was also replaced.

I had the alert come on right after pulling out of a shopping mall. The engine power dropped and I was thinking what the hek! I reset the DIC and the car returned to normal. Happened a couple more times and cleared in the next week. It always drove normal even though it happened those times. I took it in to the dealer, and they replaced the BCM. It's worked fine ever since. Fortunately, I had the GMPP to take care of it.

I will be picking my 2008 up today from the dealer where it has been for the past week working on this. I have had a warranty issue on this for over two years. I had their large data recorder in the cup holder for the past year and could not ever record anything. If I forgot to turn the recorder on it would throw warnings within a mile. I spoke to numerous electronics/computer engineers and they all thought that it was the yaw sensors. CHEVY finally agreed after they were able to get it to do the same in their presence. I hope that they really have it fixed this time. It has been in the shop 3-4 times and almost killed me when at 75 mph on the interstate it kicked into limp home mode after which the dealer simple reset the codes and "tightened" every wire on that circuit but could not duplicate the event. Thinking of just getting rid of it. Are the C-7 having any problems like this ?

Had the same problem took it in and found that a rear hub had gone bad. Replaced it under extended warranty ($700) and works well..
