Some Buick LaCrosse owners report experiencing reduced engine power issues, often attributed to a faulty accelerator pedal position sensor. This malfunction can trigger the 'Reduced Engine Power' warning light to appear intermittently, resulting in the vehicle entering reduced power mode. When the gas pedal position sensor is identified as faulty, replacing it typically resolves the issue and helps prevent future occurrences of reduced engine power.
