“My 2011 HHR has started acting up by throwing out the reduced engine power light, ESC light and service traction light. This will happen when in park(when warning up the vehicle) and when im driving. It seems to happen more in cold weather.

“The radio has been going out when I turn the steering wheel. It wouldn't do it when I took it in but then we had the recall of the ignition switch. That was repaired and it's gotten worse.

It makes the most noise in a slow or parking movement. Then I take it in and they pump up the tires with air, and say there's nothing wrong with it. Then the air low light for the tires comes on. You fill it up, and then another one comes on. Then check the air bag pops on. I've even experienced the car literally feeling like the motor idling real low to almost shut off. This has happened atleast 3 times. …”
