NHTSA Complaint #10660806 — 2006 CHEVROLET HHR

I RECENTLY STARTED GETTING A DASHBOARD MESSAGE SAYING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND THE CAR LOSES POWER AND WILL ONLY GET TO ABOUT 10-15 MPH. I WAS DRIVING AT ROUND 45 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME BECAUSE THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TOO FAST WITH NO BREAK LIGHTS UNTIL I HIT THEM. SINCE THEN IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY A FEW TIMES A WEEKS. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL SO I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO USE IT AS MUCH AS I CAN. I HAVE READ FORUMS AND THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS LIKE NO ONE CAN PIN POINT THE EXACT PROBLEM AS IT CAN MEAN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO TRY OUT ALL THE DIFFERENT FIXES FOR THIS IN HOPES THAT I GET THE RIGHT THING FIXED BEFORE I SPEND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. WITH THE NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO AT LEAST HAVE THE CAR CHECKED OUT TO PIN POINT THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE. *TR
