Auto Start Issue
 

Hello All,

So far I have 13,600 miles on my 2006 HHR. 3x today I attempted to use the auto start feature and all 3x the car would start and turn off a second later. It sounded like a cold start. Has anyone experienced this issue before? Any advice? I guess I should make a service appt.

Michael:confused:

I haven't had any problems and I use my a lot.

Today as our church was letting out, I pointed the fob at the window, and sure enough the car was running when we got out there!:D

Mine has 8,000 miles amd I have had no issues, it always seems to work, but I did exoerience what was like the ignition staying in the start position for just a second or so today, so I am headed to teh dealer to discuss it...

Check this out and see if this sounds like the problem

So you were thinking about your HHR while you were in church :D

Supposedly the remote start fob is capable of working at distances up to 200 feet (or so). A few times it just wouldn't work. A few others, it started and shut right off. I've had things reprogrammed twice. I haven't used it since it got warm here. (Oh yeah.....I have the 2.2 the TSB is for the 2.4)

Have your HHR reflashed per the TSB. I haven't had any problems since I had mine reflashed.

Thanks guys. I did read the manual and it did mention that. I was close to the car and it still caused that problem. I guess I will have it reflashed at the Captain Suggested
