Has anyone heard of this?

Yesterday afternoon, left work, got on the highway, went about 2 miles, at about 60-65mph and out of no where the car turns off!! DEAD!

Pull over to the should and put it in park, thankfully it started back up, but this happened 2 more times aftet that.

We dropped it off at the dealer this morning, but they are so swamped they haven't looked at it yet....

I love my car and now this sux b/c I am so afraid this will become a major problem!

 

I've been getting a cold start recently. Whenever I turn the car on. It idle's for a bit. Do you think the heatwave we are having has anything to do with it? My car's temp read 105 degrees yesterday

 

Can you say Holy Crap Batman? That would suck. I hope you get to the bottom of that major problem.

 

If memory serves me right, someone else had this problem and I believe it ended up being an injector problem. I will look for the thread and post it here when I find it.

 

Not sure if its the heatwave or someone made a valid point at work....maybe it was something w/ the remote start?

When I went to use the RS yesterday it didn't work, maybe that had something to do w/ it??

 

Did some searching and found several threads that might provide some answers. I used the word stall and it pulled up a few threads. From what I have seen, it could be related to the Remote Start. Look through THESE search results for possible solutions. Some done apply, but I'd rather have more threads than not enough. One big one could be loose fuses, as most of us experienced them not being seated properly from the factory.

Skip what I said about the injectors...I don't think that's right now.

BTW... to chevyhhr.net...the best resource online for anything HHR.

 

my car sits in the sun all day while im at work... i use the autostart right before i get off n she starts right up n nice n cold waitin for me

 

I have no idea what the problem is but please let us know the results, it may help someone else down the road. Good luck.

 

i was driuving on the highway the other day sunday and i hit a bump and the car stalled at 80 mph had to pull over and restart dont want to bring to the dealer yet because i still dont have my dash back and the pass air bag is disconnected you know warrenty stuff

 

I had a similar problem with a '94 Taurus wagon I owned. Driving up the Maine Turnpike and just died! I was in the left lane doing 65. (Speed limit was 55 then) Was able to throw it into neutral and re-start while switching lanes. It died again while in the Exit 9 toll booth. I wasn't very popular as it was the Friday before the 4th of July and that is a busy exit. Several p***** off motorists gladly pushed the car out of the way. It started about an hour later and I never had the same problem again. We got home from vacation about a week later and lo and behold....there was a recall by Ford. Seems that weld spatter from attaching the fuel pump in the tank had broken loose and got pumped to the entire fuel system. They replaced the pump, fuel lines, injectors, etc. Funny thing was that I had reported it to the dealership from our vacation spot and he told me I probably vapor locked! Umm....isn't that a tough thing to do with these modern fuel systems?

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I hope your problem is easily solved and not something like I had.

I have had no problems with my HHR, but then again, I don't really go out much anyways.
