I now hate my HHR
I have been having problems with the traction control, called Onstar on it. Unfortunately it didn't throw a permanent code. Dealer found nothing. It did it again, threw a code this time and they fixed it per one of the TSB's.
Well my wife just called me and it's the same problem again.
traction turns off, engine power reduced. Last time it ran like crap so this is like the first time. I don't know if it threw a code yet but when she gets back after lunch we will drop it off at the dealer. I already called to let them know we are dropping it off.
Stupid POS car. It's been in the shop more times than my Trans Am has been in 9 years.
I owe to much on it to sell it right now. I need another 2 years into it.

I would need one more failed attempt at Lemon Law. I don't want to go there. My 2003 Saab was LL'd as was my dads 2005 F150. I'd be laughed out of court........
and I don't have the Prius yet.

I see the HID issue being a big deal on many cars. I saw a Hyundia with them in an accident that did not look too bad but it was over $2,000 to fix the head lights alone and $16,000 to fix the car. The ZR1 hit hit and shouved into another car was only $10,000 to fix and it was her husbands car. Not a good day.

Just wait till the HID headlights fail in the Prius. They are a grand a side and there is a large case already pending because Toyota is not fixing them.
