Started my tahoe to drive home and I'm going 70 MPH down a highway when all of a sudden my engine light pops on and says engine power is reduced plus it says service traction control and service stabilitrak. I went from 70 MPH to 20 MPH in less than 5 seconds and now my tahoe is sputtering and has no power. The whole vehicle is vibrating. I've shut off the vehicle multiple times and I can't get the error to go away. Sitting at an idle my rpms fluctuate consistently. Unknown but I have a feeling that the throttle body is going out on the engine, it would be the only thing I can think of that would cause the engine to drop speed and sputter like this non stop.

On numerous occasions (35 plus times in past 2 months) I have experienced a terrifying complete loss of power to every electronically controlled component of my vehicle. For 3 to 5 seconds I have absolutely no power steering, traction control or headlights. My dashboard display goes blank, all radio and AC display goes off as well as their functions, my door locks repeatidly lock and unlock and my acceleration stalls out. After the power interruption all my dashboard warning lights (ABS/ airbags/ stabilitrack/ traction control/ check engine) flash on and off for a few seconds when they all stop flashing the traction control and stabilitrack warning lights remain glowing. On 1 occasion while driving 75 miles an hour in the rain on a toll road with my daughter in the vehicle I experienced this situation only power did not return for 6 to 8 minutes leaving me to wrestle my rolling vehicle across 3 busy lanes of 75 MPH traffic to the shoulder without power steering. I had to sit there with my child as traffic flew by until power returned and I was able to restart my car. I was absolutely terrified we were gonna be hit but we were on an elevated section of the roadway so the concrete barrier prevented us from getting out on the passenger side while contact fast moving traffic made exiting the driver side impossible as well. These issues have occurred in every type of driving scenario or condition. Randomly occurring while turning, accelerating, driving on an incline, braking, hitting bumps with no consistent factor being present. The date below indicates the onset of these repeat occurrences

Motor mounts were broken what's resulted in the vehicle lunging me forward when coming to a stop. The check engine light for the hybrid battery also came on. The result is the car shaking and shutting off more than once when attempting to accelerate from a stopped position. Once was in a very busy intersection. It shut off when coming out of a bank parking lot and turning on to a busy street.

When I press down on the gas, my vehicle stalls about five seconds before it actually takes off. When I try to stop, it does not stop right away as I press down on the break. I've almost rear another vehicle on several occasions while sitting at a red light. I have to stay at least 15 feet away from the vehicle in front of me. My vehicle has shut down while I was driving. My engine light comes on and goes off periodically. If I turn my wheel to sharply (reverse or forward), it jerks, makes a loud noise, and then it feels like its about to cut off. I feel really unsafe driving, however, I have no choice because I have to work.

When driving around and at a stop light the engine will go into auto stop. When applying pressure to gas pedal the vehicle will hesitate and then lurch forward. Vehicle will also get a high idle between 1500 RPM and 2200 RPM and fluctuate between those rpms. Also when idling below 1,000 rpms the engine will rev up and down as if pressure is being applied to the gas pedal but there is no pressure being applied at all. Been having this issue for quite sometime and I figured it was just some bad fuel but it has been consistent. Also have no lights illuminated on the dash, no check engine lights or anything. I haven't taken to dealer yet because I am waiting on the supplies for the air bag recall so they can work on the vehicle while replacing the air bag.
