So, it wasn't the Steering wheel caslibration either.... but!
RESOLUTION!!! WOW! What a struggle this was! MY dashboard lights, bells and whistles (ok, that was a stretch) are now functioning normally!
It turns out that the ABS computer module/unit was the culprit all along. I found a competent mechanic who was able to dig into all of the information available and resolved this issue within a few days. It has now been over two weeks and my little HHR is now running like it used to - perfect and flawlessly!
Again, thank you everyone who assisted with this journey and I hope that anyone else that might have this same issue is able to resolve their problem with the help of this thread!

I'm having the EXACT same thing happening to my wife's '06 2LT , dropped it off at the dealership last night, waiting to hear from them now.....

I quoted post #30 in my reply/question. Wouldn't that imply that I had read it, and that it explains nothing to me.
For instance; what ABS computer, what was done to fix it, what information was imparted to this worthy mechanic?

Exactly, eh?
Assuming that your car is equipped with ABS:
The ABS controller is that box in front of the Darth Vader hood that us in front of the fuse box. It has brake line connections on the top the electrical connector is hidden.

Since the "One and Done" has been started, I thought I better come here and report, which will still leave us all scratching our heads, not to mention me and the tech guy at the dealership. They took the wife's '06 2LT in, first they did 3 recalls, two were with the ignition switch and tumbler, third, I can't recall without going back and looking at the paperwork, but, they had the HHR 4 days when they did the recalls, then proceeded to try and recreate the electrical gremlin in the video above, nothing....yes NOTHING, the car was back to normal, and as you can see by the dates of my posts, it's been a while, and still nothing, like it never happened. Was it the switch, or whatever, I don't know, the tech guy can't even answer that. It's just gone.
