Mine did it today, Turned corner hit gas and almost got whiplash then traction control light came on and steady on till I turned car off and waited five minutes. called my dealer they are gonna look at it tomorrow and sounded like they gonna have it all day. But I know they will not replicate it. Wait and see.

Just got call back from dealer gave them two codes that combined are the MAF sensor. There are blaming it on the cgs intake and it vibrates alot according to them. Reason Check engine light doesnt come on is that it only happened once if it happened again check engine light would come back on. They recommend puting the monster stock filter back on.

The codes onmine were P0106 and C0561. I think it could be because I never cleaned or changed the filter from when I put The Outlaw filter on from SoCal HHRs. I put the cgs filter back on. I will wait and see. I am not gonna put the monster air filter back on thats for damn sure.

It is like when you forget to your gas cap back on or tighten all the way, why does your check engine light come on? It just alerts you that something is not right. Why is there a seperate traction control light when you lose traction the DIC say low traction the traction control light doesnt come on.

TC light turns on
similar problem. a decent acceleration prompts the traction control dashboard light to turn on and the shifting becomes very rough. Dealer stated that M.A.P. sensor should be replaced or this could lead to the engine light coming on.
If I turn off the car, pull out the key and open the drivers door, it will reset and run fine. Yeah, I know this sounds ridiculous, but I yet to see a post that has mentioned replacing the MAP Sensor. Any suggestions are welcomed.

I've got a couple of questions. One Is there any way to turn off the traction control ? Two Are the ABS ( anti-lock brakes) and the traction control tied into each other ? and Three is there any way to get around the ABS system ? Living in the Midwest, i have found these options make it harder for me to control my car. They do not fair well on snow or ice. Does anybody else have problems driving thier HHR in snow or ice, or am i just too used to being able to control my car instead of having a computer try to do it for me ?
