If you wanna drive to Houston and bring it to me, we'll have it sorted in no time. I have lots of experienced techs in my service dept.

Thanks for the info and the invite but I'm 7 hours from Houston.

Don't know much about this situation so I'm scratching my head. First time I've hear this happen to a 1le makes me scared to purchase one. Definitely getting an extended warranty.

Keep in mind this is not a 1LE issue, but a LS3 issue.

Fellows, got my car back, again! After a week in the hole they replaced the t/b and harness. I drove it home in the rain so of course I couldn't test it out. After 2 days of rain I took my car for a test drive on the interstate. I run it hard through the gears up to 4th and the whole dash lites up again. "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". I pull over in a hurry, only able to do 30mph at this time, and hit the onstar again. I told the they can come get this sh*t. So, after another week at the dealer they ended up replacing the whole wiring harness and with 30 miles of testing. The car runs fine now, but I'm hearing a noise when I push the clutch in. Here we go again.

I'd start looking into the lemon laws in Arkansas.
