Has anyone had a problem with their HHR shifting so fast and hard it’s jerking along with darn near every dash light coming on? I’ve taken it to a Chevy dealer and a repair shop and couldn’t get any answers. I’m thinking their might be a recall I’m not aware of.

 

18 year old car with how many miles ? And why in the world would you think there would be a recall ?

 

Hard shifts are most likely due to either electrical connections or failing shift solenoids, or low transmission fluid. No recalls, no extended warranty, it’s just nature of the beast.

 

Or, a CEL code.

 

Apply for one of those extended drivetrain warranty (3rd Party) wait a month and file a claim. A guy I knew did that years ago when he bought a used truck with a slipping trans, had it rebuilt with no out of pocket, I think the warranty was something like $600 a year

 

Problem was solved. And then it wasn’t.

This has been a saga. (See other posts by OP.)
