I have a 2012 Chevy Avalanche with around 150K miles on it. I had a weird issue driving around today and I'm looking for advice about it.

Driving back and forth from Dayton to Cincy my car would rapidly lock and unlock. It happened four times, not always the same.

1. Rapid locking and unlocking.
2. Rapid locking and unlocking, all lights on the dashboard turned on, the car felt like it was in neutral.
3. Rapid locking and unlocking, the car felt like it was in neutral.
4. Rapid locking and unlocking.

Doing some internet research I've seen everything from key fob, to a bad code that needs to be reset, and even a solenoid (which would explain the no acceleration in neutral).

There weren't any fault codes when I had it checked. I just replaced the engine mounting bolts last month because the left bolt broke and the engine "jumped" when I accelerated.

Any advice would be appreciated. I can do basic maintenance, but I am no where close to a mechanic.
