Take it to the dealer.
I tried for a couple weeks to fix it myself, no solution. Ill get a call in the morning when they let me know whats up with my car.
Post more info on the car, and what happened when it did it.
I was in 2nd got on it into 3rd and then 4th and it did it to me. S/C won't kick in at all...I barely made it up hills to town.
If you've got warranty and all that, get it towed to a dealer and get it fixed.

it usually has to do with the MAF sensor, when i didn't have the MAF tuned in right and the VE tables set and then added in the MAF to adjust it dropped into limp mode. If you haven't modified it in any way i would take it to the dealer definitely, but unplugging your battery will probably reset it temoporarily.

have you had your oil changed recently? I just had mine done and was driving for a bit and the same thing happened to me and the car ran like ****. I pulled over and checked the plugs under the hood by the tb and sure enough I found one that was hanging there. I plugged it back in and no more problem.

I took mine to the dealer and it turned out to be a bad PCM. I had gotten an error earlier and took it to advanced auto and the code that they got was a bad crank position sensor. Hope to get my car back today. They also found a bad wheel bearing.

Other limp mode with maf sensor i dont see, unless you caused an excessive lean/rich condition for so long.

I talked to the Chevy dealer today and they said they replaced the PCM and the new code that they got was to replace the PCM. lol That sucks they said they called GM and they said, "Oh change the throttle body." That should be here tomorrow. If that does not work they will continue to follow what GM has to say.
