2016 GMC YUKON XL with 42000.0 miles

We have had our 2016 Yukon Xl for almost 2 years. Last year we started experiencing episodes where the vehicle will shift down into reduced power mode with P0090 and P0091 as the fault codes. We have been working with the dealer, but once the vehicle has been turned off for about 20 minutes or so it clears and leaves no trace of an issue. This is extremely dangerous and recently shifted into reduced power leaving us only able to drive 35 miles per hour. We were on the highway in maryland with cars flying around us at ~80 miles per hour. We had all of our children in the car and were in the far left lane. The reduced power made it nearly impossible to get to the right shoulder safely. I have a friend with a new Gmc sierra that has the same issue. He dropped it off at his dealer for 3 weeks and returned it finding any issues. This is very dangerous and needs to be addressed. All it will take is someone dying to turn it into a class action lawsuit.

2013 KIA OPTIMA with 170000. miles

Check engine light came on, took car to local o'reilly auto parts for them to see what the problem was. Gave code P0091 which yeilded part pr536 - fuel pressure regulator. Called rick case Kia, duluth, ga (absolute terrible service/customer service, numerous times)...Car isn't under warranty, will not cover...Immediately said o'reilly's was wrong - it's the entire fuel pump - quoted $800 to change. Called a second time, spoke with someone different, said $600 to change fuel pressure regulator. Car isn't running any different. Check engine light came on about $170k mile mark.
