When I got in my truck to leave yesterday to run some errands it did not start. This was the third time that this has happened and I am not sure what is going on, I have only had this truck for a few months now. This time I noticed there were some service messages that appeared on my dash which was Traction Control Off, Service Traction Control, Service Stabilitrak and Battery Saver Active. Once I was able to get a jump it started right up each time and continued to start while I was doing my errands.

Not sure what any of these messages means, so I wanted to see if someone would be able to explain each one of these codes and offer any suggestions as to what I would need to do.

Sounds like you may have something intermittently staying activated when you shut it off. The first 3 messages may just be the result of the low battery.

Okay, do you know what it could be that is staying activated when I shut my truck off and do you think that I should just buy a new battery to see if the messages show up again or take it to the dealer to diagnosis?

Have the battery tested to make sure it is good but it's going to require someone knowledgeable to do some electrical testing and that can only be done when the problem is present so if this is only happening occasionally, it's going to be difficult to track down. They may be able to get some info from the computer to give them a starting point.
