I have a 2013 buick enclave and for the past 5-6 months, the traction control off message and engine powering down message continue to pop up and my car while driving on the highway and goes into limp mode and quickly dies. I have to let it sit for a few minutes and then it resets but the engine light remains on. I have taken it into the mechanic and most recently the dealership but they have replaced everything twice and have not been able to diagnose the problem. So far the alternator has been changed, had two engine belts replaced, ignition and relay switches changed, updated all the software with no luck and about 7k in charges.

On 3/21/18 I was pulling out of a gas station to head to work. My traction control light lit up as well as my engine light. Warnings went across my dash stating "traction control off" "service stabilitrack" "engine power reduced" I couldn't go over 40mph. I made it back to work. After work only the engine light was on. The next day I drove it and by the afternoon the engine light had gone off. This morning, 3/23/18 I drove to work without any complications. Due to weather we closed our office early. I pulled out of the parking lot and my traction control lit up as well as my engine light. All three warnings went across my dash again and this time I could not go above 20mph. I made it home with my flashers on. Once I got home I let my car sit for a couple hours and then took it around the block. Again only my engine light was on. We will take it to the shop once the weather clears.
