Problems with 2006 Chevrolet HHR VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet hhr. while driving up to 10 mph, the check engine indicator flashed off and on and the vehicle would not accelerate. the manufacturer was notified. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

Driving at 70 mph on freeway and suddenly "engine power reduced" warning comes on display and i can't accelerate. the engine cut off. on the freeway. this is not safe (obviously) and i don't see myself buying another chevy again. i have a family and this problem could kill us all. *tr

Car speeded up and down ,car started to spin in circle,lost power steering,lost control of car, flipped and rolled over 3 times down a 30 yd. cliff . no head air bags worked at all ,only the steering wheel air bag worked. took over 2 hrs. to be found by police. had to use cell phone signal to be found. *tr

I recently started getting a dashboard message saying "reduced engine power" and the car loses power and will only get to about 10-15 mph. i was driving at round 45 mph when this happened and the car behind me almost hit me because the car slowed down too fast with no break lights until i hit them. since then it happens randomly a few times a weeks. it doesn't seem to happen while on cruise control so i have been trying to use it as much as i can. i have read forums and this issue and it seems like no one can pin point the exact problem as it can mean a number of different things. i don't have the money to try out all the different fixes for this in hopes that i get the right thing fixed before i spend thousands of dollars. with the number of other people having this problem there should be a recall to at least have the car checked out to pin point the problem free of charge. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet hhr. while driving approximately 50 mph, the steering wheel seized without warning and required excessive force to maneuver. the contact managed to drive home, but the failure recurred multiple times. in addition, the accelerator pedal malfunctioned intermittently. as a result, the vehicle failed to accelerate and the pedal became lodged. the contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the failures after it was repaired according to nhtsa campaign numbers: 14v171000 (electrical system) and 14e021000 (electrical system:ignition:switch). the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but they could not diagnose the vehicle for free. the vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 158,000.

Drove 1 mile. turned engine off for 15 min. when restarted car it started shaking, warning message on dash read engine power reduced. unable to drive more than 30 mph,with car still shaking drove 1 mile to my local mechanic, when mechanic restarted car and conducted dx test and reset code the problem resolved, no further incidents after miles of test driving. hesitant to drive car any long distance for fear it may happen again and curious if other hhr drivers have had this problem or if there was a silent recall.. would like advice as to how to correct this issue, prevent a recurrence without expensive dealer costs and feel safe driving this vehicle. please advise. thank you *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 chevrolet hhr. the contact was driving 5 mph when the accelerator pedal became stuck and the vehicle increased to a speed of 80 mph, despite the brakes being depressed. the failure was resolved when the vehicle was powered off. the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic and the manufacture was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and the current mileages were 62,000 .

The outside temp indicator stopped working. the dealer replaced a "body control module" this caused the cruise control to stop working. 1 "electronic control module" was installed. problem still existed. a second ecm was installed and the cruise once again works, however now my driving lights no longer work. it will be returned to the dealer for a time to try to get all the electronics to work as they should. *tr
