1 Engine Noise problem of the 2007 Chevrolet HHR

Failure Date: 09/19/2014

Approximately 6 weeks ago, I was driving my Chevrolet Hhr 2007, (40 mph), when traction control light came on, and the info showed traction control off, and then service traction, at the same time I could hear and feel the car was shifting hard. It was like kicking. I parked, turned off the car and turned on again, and the light disappear but after few hours, it was there again, shortly after the engine light came on with the info check engine, and stayed on with the traction control light, then this disappear but the engine light stayed. Also the car has made noise since 2008 when my husband bought it. I don't know if both problems are related. On 10/15/14 I went to the dealer because my car has 5 different recalls to fix, and the service traction light was on, they didn't check it, they said if I want them check it, I have to paid for the inspection. Looks Chevrolet it doesn't care about their customers safety!.

Failure Date: 02/01/2014

2011 Chevrolet Hhr. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle acceleration issues. The consumer stated while driving, she noticed the vehicle exhibit a boost/jerk type movement, and it made a strange noise. When she took the vehicle to the dealer, she was informed the problem was a spark plug and they fixed it. However, one night while driving, the vehicle once again exhibited the same boost/jerk movement, as if she suddenly hit the brake, as the vehicle was losing speed, until it shut down completely. She was able to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and re-started it again with no problem. A month later, the same thing happened, only that time, the electronic stability control light started blinking, followed by a strange noise. The electronic stability control light illuminated again in may 2014.
