I am being told mine was linked to the Throttle body - it is "gunked" up with oil, since GM says you can wait 5,000 miles for an oil change it actually seems out and gunks it up.

they cleaned it - NOT warrantied!! and say this should stop the issue, I just picked up so I guess we shall see what happens.

I do know I am getting rid of this vehicle and will not buy another GM car as long I drive moving forward, they do not warranty their cars, and it seems if it should have been covered like this issue since there was a service bulletin for similar vehicles they push it off on the consumer.

I just got my car 2 months ago! This first instance happened last week on my way to work...35 miles from home, but I had only gone maybe 10 miles at the most. Once the traction lights came on & the power reduced message, I pulled off the highway. I turned the car off and sat for about 2 minutes then restarted and the traction lights went off but the check engine light stayed on. After parking my car all day at work (8 hours) I started it up again and the check engine light was still on. After I got to my daughter's school to pick her up I checked the gas cap to make sure it was tight...started the car and the light was off. So I thought everything was fine. ..until today. It was raining so I figured it was because of the rain but I could get NO power behind you drive. It would only go 15 mph and I was up to 3 rpms. It was scary to be on the highway like that. What is there to do? I mean I have only made 2 payments on this car...and it seems like a huge mistake! What do I do that won't break my pockets already?

My 2007 Chevy Tahoe LTZ is having a similar issue to those who have said they see the Service Stabilitrak and Service Traction Control lights on their dash. I have those issues as well, but I also hear a clicking noise underneath the vehicle when I'm driving straight or making a turn. It sounds like something underneath is about to break. I'm frustrated at some of the responses I've been reading because there seems to be no single solution to this problem. I keep reading things like "it could be...", or "it might be...." and "it may be...."

I'm not a DIY guy so the videos on YouTube offer no help to me. I cringe at the thought of taking it to a dealership if they can't diagnose what the problem is, but I need to do something ASAP. I commute with children everyday and I'm afraid that something horrible could happen while we're in the car together.

Is my best course of action to take it to a GM dealer? Any advice would truly be appreciated.

Thanks.

This has been happening to my 2011 Avalanche since 10K Miles and i have been to the dealership 3-4 times for the same problem, they have changed spark plugs, cables, rebooted the computer, and even called the factory for some warranty part which eased the problem for a while, but today at 31K miles it happened again... I am really sick of this problem.
When does the warranty expire? my Avalanche is almost 5 years now with only 31K miles on it...
