Description of the problem	Lately i'm having a issue with this car, first my check engine light came on and is still on and now all of a sudden i can be at a light or driving down the street and the engine power reduce warning comes across my display screen, i can't accelerate so i have to coast it to the side of the road, shut it off, wait 30 seconds and restart the car. Sometimes i have to do this 2 or 3 times before it drives right again, so i went on the buick forum and see a lot of people are having the same issue, that they have had the throttle body changed and it makes no different, that it could happen again. So now i want get on the expressway just in case it wants to do it again, and i'm getting scared to drive it on the streets cause it keeps happening. Some say cause it's cold where the live but i feel it shouldn't be happening all, like on 1/8/2018 it happened this morning and the temperature outside is 35 f and that's above freezing. What can be done about this cause gm is not reporting it to the nhtsa, so if you don't go on there forum you don't know..... Help scared to drive my car
