Description of the problem	To sum it up started getting "engine power reduced" message from message center in vehicle. Shortly afterward the vehicle will begin flashing the traction control off light and shifting hard. Now the vehicle still shifts hard with the two above messages and is also stalling out when "engine power reduced" message appears. Many times after this the vehicle will not accelerate at all. Have to pull off the road, cut the vehicle completely off for a few minutes and then continue driving. Problem started intermittent and now happens every single time i drive the vehicle. I have had it stall out on the highway going over 50 mph, very dangerous was almost hit. Vehicle has been at the used lost service center three times, no luck on finding problem or repair. Car has been with my local gm certified dealership for 3 days and still no proper diagnosis problem or repair. Has sense received the two recall letters bcm/transmission but dealership is reluctant to repair because they said gm may not pay for time and parts. Worse car purchase i have every made.
