Default Engine power reduced/esc off/ service traction

I have a 2010 Chevy Malibu with just about 98,000 miles on it. I've owned the car for about one year now and I've just recently started experiencing this issue about a month ago. It happens pretty much everyday now where I have to pull over and wait for about ten minutes and start it back up and it seems to run for another day. Has anybody found an answer to this problem that has actually worked?

This sounds very much like a throttle position sensor. The dealer knows about this. They need to see a specific code and may be covered.
