Service stabilitrac system indication comes on, with check engine light, and engine power reduced.

Avalanche 8-cyl

  • 88,000 miles
Reduced engine power, engine dies no power steering or power brakes almost rear ended on I-25. Trouble code says P2135 throttle body has happened 20 times or more in 8 months. Dealer where purchased say they never heard of this problem then said new wiring harness might fix it, knew the price without looking it up? there are thousands of posts on line about problem, but they never heard of it.wiring harness replaced throttle body cleaned and checked peddle checked still happens, have spent hundreds. No solution. I have to drive on highway to get to work on oil rig, I'm afraid it well cause an accident.GM doesn't know what is causing problem and doesn't seem to care.
