In order I would

replace the negative battery cable to avoid spurious electrical issues due to a bad cable

Have the battery dynamically load tested - we've had too many reports of a static battery test run clean but the battery actually unable to power the Cruze's electronic

Check the alternator for output.

After this it starts to become a matter of hunt and peck. You have an electrical issue or more rarely, a dead ECU.

Thanks, I think that's what i was waiting for. My inclination was the ECU "somehow" but wasn't positive. And this could of course happen while driving shutting the engine down?

I'm going to have it towed the the local Chevy dealer. I just hope they don't kill me $$wise. Do you have any idea what this might cost me??

Thanks very much.
Have them start with the Negative Battery Cable followed by a load test on the battery. The battery cable is a free repair. A dead battery can cause all sorts of problems, including the codes you're seeing. An ECU replacement is very expensive and isn't covered once you're out of the B2B warranty.
