Question StabiliTrak Problems with Camaro (help please!)

I have a 1SS M6 with about 4000 miles on it. About 6-8 times now, my car has come up with the "Service StabiliTrak" error and lit up the dash with lights. (See picture). The first time it happened, I was still doing my break-in period (I was driving it pretty calmly at the time). I brought it into the service center and they replaced some harness saying that is what was caused the error.

It seems that after that occasion, I get the error about once every week or two. I bring it back to the shop and they keep saying that they need to replicate it (this is the 4th time in all). They take the car and drive it around the block a few times. This time, I let them have it for going on 3 days now and today they said that to better replicate it, the service manager needs to take it home and back (they assured me that they do it sometimes to reproduce issues).

Another issue I have is that my car is throwing "multiple misfire" error codes, its happened about 4 times now. They say that the "Service StabiliTrak" error actually is being caused by the misfires.

I drive my car hard, but I don't use competitive mode or spin the tires excessively.

Here are my questions:

1) Why doesn't the "Service StabiliTrak" error actually keep an error (the only way I could prove I was getting them was by taking a picture with my phone).

2) Would the misfires actually cause "Service StabiliTrak" errors?

3) What would cause misfires and how can they diagnose the underlining cause?

4) Has anyone else heard of the service manager taking a car home to try to reproduce issues?

5) What do I do when they hand me back the car for the 4th time without any actual repair done to it?

Thanks in advance!
