'08 dying at parking lot speeds
Group, my wifes '08 has died on her a couple times while backing out of parking spots (extreme low speed and changing gears ), I haven't had any problems with my '07. She took it to the dealer and after a bunch of checks nothing was found, has anyone her experienced this?

Have not experienced this yet in my HHR but I had this happen with my old car, Dodge Magnum. Check engine light came on with that tho and they still were not able to figure it out.
I am sure someone here will be able to offer suggestions.

Actually, I just got my 08 and it seems that sometimes when I'm going really slow the car will jerk a little and feel like it is about to die when I am almost stopped. Also, I feel a small vibration in my steering which is small, so I hope it is normal and not an issue, but I guess could be somewhat the same problem. I will update.

My '08 died for the first time in the parking lot the other day. Its only happened once, so who knows...
Here's what happened: Went to Lowes, got some mulch, started the car to cool it down while I loaded the mulch, drove away, it died, after I re-started it there were no other problems...just chalked it up to the HHR having a bad day.

Take it to the dealer and see if there's any codes. Sounds like maybe a TCC or even a fuel pump issue.
