Might have an issue with your "TPS" "Throttle Position Sensor" that was the issue with my 2011.
I have a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 this past March when I had around 52,000 miles on My truck went into a limp mode(Rough idle, no power, top speed about 40mph, hard trans shifts). I had three messages "Service Traction Control", "Service Stabilitrak", and "Engine Power is Reduced" messages also my SES Light and low traction warning lights came on. I limped it to a Chevy Dealer in the area I was in at the time, They found I had two codes: P2153 and P0121. Both related to my Failed TPS "Throttle Position Sensor" on my throttle body. They replaced the sensor, Reprogrammed the ECU and Reset the Idle. Total bill was about $260 for the repair on my truck. The new "TPS" fixed my issue and never had any issues since and I now have around 65,300 miles on her now.
See if you can get the codes first, might be the same issue as I had.
