Same problem
I am having the same issue with my 2008 saturn outlook with only like 65,000 miles Service stabilitrak service traction control and the car is not running right. I had this a year ago with the reduced engine power. I was able to drive very slow to work and parked it. After a while i drove it around the parking lot and it was fine. Now it is happening again. I called the dealership and taking it in the morning to get looked at. I am worried that its going to cost big $$$$ to get fixed. It should be the throttle control issue but not sure i trust a good diagnosis after all that i read. Ive already had the transmisson done...water pump..power steering issues ..

My 2008 saturn outlook is in getting fixed now. First i was told it would cost nothing...than after a couple days they called and said the timing chains are stretched and it would cost $2500. There is 100% coverage for this problem for the 2007 &2009 model but not the 2008...which is the same replacement part but no one can give a logical answer for why not the 2008 model. GM helped and we are still paying $1400 for the repair. We also had it in for the service airbag recall which we brought it in to be fixed a couple weeks ago but the light is still coming on. They called today and said the problem is not part of the air bag recall either. They said they can fix the airbag for an additional $1100. So what started as a quote of 100% covered repair has turned into an estimate of $3600 for problems that GM is aware of. On a car with 67,000 i have had numerous major repairs. If GM cant stand behind their products and cover the repairs for problems that they are aware of..i will not be buying another GM product.

P1516 Buick Enclave 08'
I am going through this right now..
I have a 2008 buick enclave with approx 115,000 miles..
I hand reduced engine power, rough idle and service stabilitrak track. I had a throttle body replace to no avail..it got better and then the problem came right back.....
How and where to we start for a class action lawsuit....
Sad part is I got a letter saying gmc will fix the issues but bc I has it done by my mechanic before I knew about the letter they won't help me......

issue with my 07 Saturn Outlook
Did they say there was a recall or a service bulletin regarding the 07 Saturn, because at this time, I am not getting anywhere and my car actually lost steering and shut down while driving with my kids in the car yesterday (2/15/16). This morning it started without issue then coming home it had the reduced power, stabilitrak and traction control come on 3 times just trying to make it back home on a car ride that is less then 5 minutes away from my home.
This is actually a safety risk now, if I would have been in an accident when this happened with my kids in the car, I would have called a lawyer right then and there. I have also filed a complaint with the ODI.NHTSA regarding this and I saw other complaints filed.
