This winter it was freezing, my 2011 srx cadillac displayed a "reduced engine power" message, and I couldn't go over about 5 miles per hour. I had to pull over and stop the car. After a short time, I restarted the engine and had power back. I took the car to the cadillac dealership with the check engine light on. They said it was my throttle body sensor. The cost came to $603. I was the second car out of four within a one week time frame that had to get this problem fixed. Cadillac did a recall for this same problem on its other vehicles but not the srx.
