problem #2

HHR LT 2.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 134,204 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

The engine problems with my 2009 HHR is the engine light keep coming on after taking my car to the shop. My concern is I cannot get the tags for my car because of the engine light. My car can't pass the emission test to even get my tags. I have paid money to get this light off several times and it continues to pop on. I always have to get an extension tag because of the engine light. The car always stops when you sit at a red light. When starting the car you will have to pump gas a couple of times to get it started. The intake cam sensor and exhaust cam position sensor coated with sludge. I just got my car from the shop on 11/2117 and they said my car keeps having sludge build up in the engine. This is going to be a continuous problem. This car has cost me so much money 1. Head lights keeps going out 2. I thought the air bag light was a recall and the car dealership said no 3.The turn signal lights blow out all the time. 4. Always say low on brake fluid.

HHR

  • Automatic transmission

I bought a 2009 HHR a year ago, have had several issues with it BUT the one I need help with is ETC light coming on. 2 weeks ago it went off for about 1 1/2 sec and I was almost rear ended !!! I have had it to the dealer 2 times for 2 weeks each time just for this issue. They cannot make it happen so they cannot fix it so I am just out of luck and will picking up my HHR and driving it just waiting for the show to drop at any time.
