Description of the problem	When driving( in any weather conditions) the car will loose engine power drop to around 5mph, is unable to accelerate and have to be pulled over. Re/ceive warnings stating "engine power reduced", "service stabilitrak" and "service traction control. The check engine light comes on along with several others. Pulling over and restarting the car usually corrects the problem but it is terrifying when traveling at a higher rate of speed, or any speed really! Someone is going to get killed. Fortunately, this has only happened on local city streets ( so far!) but i can't imagine it happening on the highway. This has happened on numerous occasions. In doing research online there are a great number of owners experiencing the same exact problem. How is this not considered a safety issue warranting a massive recall? In reading many forums, gm is clearly aware of the problem but apparently has no definitive way to fix it as many owners have had various parts replaced( mostly related throttle or accelerator pedal) with the problem not being resolved.
