I've been away due to job change and daughter grauation. I have a 2006 HHR 2lt with 23k and it seems that when I'm at a stop the tork converter wants to lockup. The car will fill like it wants to jump or feels like a jolt. It is not all ther time, but has been doing it for about a year. I can't get it to do it when I want. It seem to happen most when I get off the freeway and am at a long stoplight. ANY IDEA.
Thanks

My fiance is starting to have the EXACT same problem with her 2006 HHR 2LT but has over 38k miles on it. Unfortunately, it occurs randomly when she is leaving from a stop. Her's also wants to jump or feels like a jolt. It may do it a couple times when she is driving then goes away for a week and them randomly comes back. It also sometimes triggers the "check engine" light then goes off. The "check engine" light never stays on long enough to get the code read.
I had a similar problem with a Ford pick-up truck I use to own and it was an issue with the tcc solenoid inside the transmission like Lone Ranger said. A transmission shop replaced it for about $200 and resolved the problem.
