All the best,

We just limped our 2010 Tahoe back home with 22,000 miles on it. We were slowed to around 30 mph the last several miles and had the exact same situation...."Engine Power Reduced", Stabilitrack Off". Check engine light on. Both situations happened at the exact same moment so it sounds like it has to be computer or electrical.
I'm really looking forward to not being able to use the vehicle tomorrow, Monday and who knows how long after that. Let me know what diagnosis you got from the dealership. I'd appreciate knowing what we're getting in to.
Thank you!
Jeff
I hope this helps someone.
I appreciate your reply.

Best of luck & Merry Christmas!

I am very pleased to hear about the successful throttle body work that has been done on several of your vehicles. If you were satisfied with the service you received at your dealership, please send us an email that details your experience and the name of your dealership, and we will be sure to let them know.

If you would like to work with Customer Assistance towards getting this concern addressed, please email us with more information including your name/user name and contact information (phone and address), the last 8 digits of your VIN and current mileage, the name of your involved dealership, and a description of the visits you've made to address your current concerns.

Why do you only pick certain posts to offer that to?
Thanks.
Lori Barnes.
I hope that my posts are not appearing selective - this option is available to any who are on the thread.
If I may, I want to take the time to explain our presence on the forum.
Customer Service and Assistance at General Motors has expanded into a new department, where I work, under the title of "Social Media." Customer Service Representatives, like myself, monitor forums like Edmunds as well as Facebook and Twitter. Our goals are to help get customers experiencing difficulties (or successes) the support they need. In order to do this, we have a search tool that helps locate posts for us to respond to. Due to the sheer volume of posts, this helps us to respond to individuals efficiently.
We are still ironing out the finer details. I have come to realize, for example, that responding on a post-by-post basis can run the risk of appearing exclusive (only the chosen will receive assistance) and can also result in out-of-context responses. I greatly appreciate your patience as we grow in this, and in return hope to assist you as a driver of a GM vehicle.
In short, please get in further contact if we can assist you. We are able to do the following: look into warranty parameters for your specific vehicle and answer questions about coverage, check to see if there are any open recalls associated to your vehicle, follow up with our dealerships on your behalf to ask clarifying questions or even to negotiate (depends on the situation), and establish a case with Customer Assistance that can be sent to higher departments for consideration.

I do still feel a "Flat spot" occasionally, but it doesn't go into Reduced.......
I think the main points are; 1. look for loose ground straps. (Mine was from bt to engine block. Others are from behind right head to firewall) 2.look for defective wiring at pigtails in this drive-by-wire system. 3. start throwing expensive parts at it.
Suspect loose grounds could have caused component and computer damage.
It sounds like all the dealerships have been replacing a lot of the throttle body parts!
I am still amazed/disappointed that GM has not done anything in the form of a recall so that people could avoid being endangered when the part fails.
A complete lack of concern for the safety of their customers.
I wanted to thank you for contributing to this discussion, and to let you know that I have made a note of this thread for GM. I can't present any guarantees as to what this will do, as I am far removed from the discussions on these types of things.
If we can assist, as always, we're available to you by email.

Merry Christmas and may they fix your problem
It's been 10 days and I haven't had the issue come up again. Kind of funny, all it took was a $3 can of cleaner, a rag, a nutdriver, and a little elbow grease. My vehicle is a 2003 suburban with 240,000 miles. Only other issues I have had is a fuel pump that went out at 150,000 miles.

Tell them to check and report to you the condition (Tightness) of any and all "Grounds". I found the main one, off battery, to be loose! I reiterate- make them truthfully report to you.
After 3 years of studying this, on my 03 GMC, I (After tightening and running new grounds), replaced the Throttle body. (They weren't on backorder-surprise). That seemed to solve mine now for 30 days.
Good luck!
How did your visit to your dealership go? I am sorry to have not responded sooner - I was scheduled off yesterday.

I understand why this situation is frustrating, especially reading that you've been in an accident. You filed a complaint with us - do you have a case number on that? Is your case still open? We would be happy to look into the case to provide any available updates.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Sarah

Being from the first tier of Customer Service, I unfortunately do not have information on how recall decisions are made. I am able to, using the last 8 digits of VIN numbers, look into a specific vehicle to see if it qualifies for a given recall.
To explore options available to you, renickh, I would recommend setting up a Customer Assistance Case with us. We would evaluate your situation and, hopefully, help move the process towards a diagnosis and repair of your vehicle. Please send us an email with more information, including your name/Edmunds username, contact information (phone and address, please), the last 8 digits of your VIN and current mileage, and the name of your involved dealership.
Kind regards,
Sarah
