While driving on a busy highway and without warning my 2013 traverse started to loose power. This was very dangerous and quite scary as i almost got rear ended by cars behind me as my vehicle almost slowed down to a complete stop on the highway. The 'traction control is off' llight came on - followed by the 'stabilitrak', 'loss of engine power' and 'service traction control'. I made it to an hwy exit at about 5 mph.…

The car will reduce speed on it's own while this is happening. The vehicle drives rough and the engine sounds harsh. Originally engine light codes of p0174 and p0171 came on and dealership cleaned air flow. Now no codes and dealer isn't able to always recreate. I…
