Noooooo!! That is terrible!

Mine was a Throttle Body issue on my base Sky. Back in the summer I was taking off from a stoplight. As I up shifting to 3rd the engine raced, a loud KaBoom, and it acted as if I was really in neutral. I coasted to the nearest turnoff with warning messages going off on the DIC, but did not read since the other traffic was about to hit me! In the parking lot I tried to move the car and it had little to no power. Had it towed to dealer and of all things they replaced the entire Throttle Body. Hmmm...that was a new one on me. No problem since.
