“I have had a recurring problem with my new 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 lt (5.3 liter engine) going into reduced engine power mode which also results in the disabling of stability control and traction control. This is a dangerous condition in that it results in a loss of power while operating the vehicle upon the roadway. An authorized repair facility has replaced the number one and two throttle sensors, the accelerator pedal assembly, the throttle body, the alternator, the computer, and a large ground wire behind the dash. …”
