Recently reported VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL problems on 2007 Chevrolet HHR

Takata recall my horn don't work the service airbags stays on. the struts back hatch don't open cruise control don't work checked all my fuses and they are all good

Driving 45 mph pressed the brakes , vehicle started accelerating then i applied excessive force on the brakes, finally engine started to reduce rpm's no check engine light came on, lucky that i am a very experienced driver lol to other drivers

I was driving my 07 chevrolet hhr @ 45 mph when the dash display blinked then displayed engine power reduced, followed by a substantial reduction of speed. i couldn't accelerate beyond 30 mph, so i pulled off of the road to avoid being hit by the 18 wheeler traveling behind me. i turned the engine off and back on. the check engine light came on and stayed on. i drove 15 miles back home @ a speed of 30 mph. the vehicle refuses to accelerate beyond 30 mph

Engine reduced power warning and engine light came on while i was driving. it took me down to 25 mph. i couldn't go no more than 25 or 30 miles per hour. pulled over and put the car in park and it felt like it was about to take off by itself. *tr

I was driving around 30 mph and sped up to pass a car. all of a sudden, the accelerator pedal went to the floor and was stuck there. i couldn't budge it. luckily, my brakes were strong enough to overpower the accelerator. i stopped the car and shut it off. i was stranded. my mom came down and turned it on again and it was fine. i had her drive me home since i am eight months pregnant. this was a really scary occurance and i am worried it may happen to someone else. i brought the car to the dealer to get it fixed but they couldn't find anything wrong. so here i am with a potentially dangerous vehicle with no knowledge of what may be wrong. in addition, after doing some research i found that others have had the same problem. some have been in accidents because of it. what is it going to take before this is recalled? a death? i wouldn't recommend anyone buy this car. at least this year of this model.
