GM 2004 1500HD TRUCK: GM CAN'T FIX THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER PROBLEM. THE CODE THAT THEY CAN'T FIX KEEPS SAYING ITS THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. I HAVE HAD GM DEALER TRY TO FIX WHAT THIS CODE IS TELLING THEM BUT STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. BASED OFF RESEARCH THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH MANY OTHER GM TRUCK OWNERS. WHEN THIS SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON & DISPLAYS REDUCE ENGINE POWER THE TRUCK BASICALLY SHUTS DOWN. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN RUNNING IN THE LEFT LANE OF A MAJOR HWY AND ALMOST GOT RUN OVER. PLEASE HAVE GM DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I'M SURE IF IT HASN'T KILLED ANYONE YET IT WILL. ONLY THING DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE TOYOTA PROBLEM AND THE GM PROBLEM IS ONE SPEEDS UP AND THE OTHER SLOWS DOWN TO 20MPH. AS I HAVE STATED THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS A LOT SO DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE INCIDENT DATE I HAD TO ENTER. *TR
