Brought my car in to the dealership today (Berger Chevrolet, Grand Rapids). Just wanted to post to let others know what they said. They couldn't recreate the problem, and couldn't find any other issues. They did however have a software update for the head unit, and the key FOB. I've only had it back for about a hour but so far it has not had the same issue. I'll post again after some more time has passed.
Stereo cutting out (traction control/abs related?)

Hical,
Thank you for the update. I understand it can be frustrating to hear your dealer was unable to duplicate your vehicle concern when you were in for service, but I am glad they were able to update the software for your vehicle's head unit and key FOB. We will be on the lookout for any new messages and updates from you. If you would like to further discuss anything, please feel free to send us a private message.
Regards,
Laura M.

It has now been a week since the software updates and the radio does not cut out anymore. It seems fixed, I was waiting for the conditions outside to return to cold and slippery, and it is tonight. The invoice from the service says "1922 software update" Warr Diag radio concern and updated the radio. I was concerned that a software update likely wasn't going to fix the problem but as I said it seems fixed. So don't hesitate to bring your cars in and have your dealer check it out. They fixed mine in under 2 hrs

I'm sure others with the radio cutting out would like to hear how yours is after you have drivin it in slippery conditions. If you can and its SAFE to purposely replicate the conditions that caused the radio to cut out in the past, please do and report back.

A large empty parking lot (that you are familiar with) without islands, potholes or those curb stop things is how I would test it.
