NHTSA Complaint #10672196 — 2011 CHEVROLET HHR

WAS TRAVELING AT NIGHT ON INTERSTATE 70 BETWEEN KANSAS CITY AND ST LOUIS WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAN ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AT THE SAME TIME THE ON DASH MESSAGE CENTER SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, TRACTION CONTROL OFF, AND ESC OFF. AT THE SAME TIME THE CAR LOST SPEED AND BEFORE I COULD GET OFF THE ROAD I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A TRUCK, AT THE TIME IT WAS RAINING. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO WARNING. AFTER STOPPING THE CAR WITH THE ENGINE OFF FOR A VERY SHORT TIME IT WILL START AND RUN FINE WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT OFF. BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ON. THE CODE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS P2135 WHICH IS A CODE FOR THE THROTTLE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR, THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS TO HAPPENING. I THINK THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS RESULTING IN INJURIES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO A NUMBER OF MECHANICS AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. I SPOKE WITH GM THIS WEEK AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM, I THINK THEY SHOULD LOOK ONLINE YOU FILL FIND MANY POSTING COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM COVERING MANY MODEL YEARS OTHER THAN 2011. *TR
