Hi Olivia it's nice to meet you.
Is the engine running rough? Do you happen to know the codes that have turned the light on?

No lol don't. The engine is fine but the light came on maybe a week ago. Just now on the highway it started to shake and the light began flashing and then the service stabilitek light came onIt's stopped since then but the check engine light remains

Ok, it sounds like there is a misfire code stored. This will cause the stabilitrac light to come on and also cause the flashing check engine light. You need to have the codes checked to determine which cylinder is misfiring. Once you have that info, it likely will need to have one of the [ignition coils](/topics-ignition-coil-chevy/) replaced.
Most parts stores will check the codes for free if you want to get it and post it here with me.
Let me know.
Thanks

Yes, the car is safe to drive but you will want to have it looked at as quick as you can.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
