Power Reduction message.
So I have a 07 with about 30,000 miles on the clock. Took it out this weekend to the grocery store and didn't get out of the neighborhood before it totally shut off and a message that said "Power Reduction" popped up on the display. Got it started and stalled 3 more times getting it to my driveway. Had it towed to the dealership and they called today saying they weren't sure what was wrong and to quote the tech, some "your car is doing some "Freaky $hit". So frustrated because its only and occasional driver and is it perfect shape. Any idea what could be the problem?

Sorry to hear you've experiencing a "Power Reduction" message on your 07. I can understand your frustration with such a well maintained car. I can't promise anything but I would like to assist in any way I can. Feel free to PM us with your name, contact info, and the dealership your Vette is at and we can look into this for you.
Thanks,

I would at least make sure the battery has a complete charge prior to letting the dealership commence to throwing parts at it at your expense.
