Yes, I too, had the T/C light come on with rough shifting then maybe (or maybe not) the check engine light would come on after a few miles. Then I'd stop/park and when I'd restart the T/C light was off but check engine light would stay on. Then ALL lights would be off ... then all of a sudden T/C light ... then the check engine ... same $hit all over again. Here is how my problem was fixed. 1st time! I paid 100.00 to reflash my EBCM, PCM and TCM modules. They said they were receiving a bunch of corrupt data which is why they recommended it. Just before I got back to work the T/C came back on and engine light. So I took it back. 2nd time (the charm)- They said my Exhaust Cam Actuator was inoperable. They replaced it for $200.00. I drove the HHR for a couple days ... HOT DANG!!! I think it's fixed!!! [/quote] Please let us know if this was the repair. I am having the same problem still.

I have just purchased our 2007 2.4l HHR and we adore this car! Hearing the same defect car after car IS scaring me though!!! If I am not mistaken though, just about every car has its problems. My questions are 1) I heard something on this forum avout our radiators getting holes punched in them easily and some kind of cover we can buy to prevent this!? Now I ccant find where I read that. Can anyone help me with that? 2) A neighbor told me that CHevy makes a 100,000 mile spark plug!! I told him he was full of it and he said if I dont believe him to call the company and ask. Well wouldnt that be somewhere in the manual if it were true? Has anyone else heard of such a thing!? 3) Mu BIGGEST complaint is Im not getting near the gas milage as everyone else in this forum. Im getting 18-20 at BEST in city, and have never seen better than 26 on the highway. Could something be wrong with MY HHR? We JUST bought it 3 weeks or so ago so I want to be sure while it is still "new" off the lot. Thanks to everyone in advance for any help they can give us. We are proud of our car and if we can fix this gas problem will be HHr owners for a long time to come  . Sincerly Mrs H |

Replying to: egadgetguy (May 18, 2009 1:49 pm) I was having it more often. First the traction control light, later, the check engine light, then no T/c light, later no engine light, then the whole thing would start over. The code was Exhaust Cam Actuator. They replaced it for $141, [I paid $100 deductable] and it's been a week with no problems. Since it was happening every day, I believe it's fixed! Thanks guys!

Replying to: rooscow (Sep 30, 2008 4:38 pm) I did this, I found that the tire pressure was not the same in all tires, I put them all to 40# and haven't had the TC light come back on and it shifts fine again. The check engine light is still on but have been told that it must be reset??? I will take it in and have it checked out but expect that I will be told that nothings wrong. The parts store had a device to reset lights, wanted $75 for it, don.t think it,s worth it. Some parts stores will do it free to sell you replacement parts, will check this out also. |

After dealing with this problem for several months, and thinking it was solved, only to have it return within a few short days, it has now been gone for almost four months. The fix I reported in my previous post, that being 'Exhaust Cam Actuator' did the trick.

I am having a recurring problem moving my automatic transmission shift lever from Park to any other gear. I live in Arizona and my car is a 2009 HHR SS. This problem just started when the weather has turned colder (it was 39 this morning and it took me over 30 minutes to be able to drive the car). I read the instructions in the owners manual and followed them which eventually seems to work but not always. Is this a weather-related issue (cold vs warm) or something else? I never had a problem in weather above 75 way up to 110. I have 9800 miles on HHR. Is there something the dealer can do to help? I have not been to the dealer yet.
