ESC code
 

i was driving "normally" when ESC pops up. pulled over, car was shaking all over place. started out ok but @ 45mph it came on again. manaul told me what it was but what am i supposed to do about it? i hope somebody can help, going for ride today, thanks

Sounds like your electronic stability control is wigging out.

hope warranty covers this. is it safe to drive?

I googled Chevy ESC code and yeah, it's your electronic stability control coming on. One guy had this with his car and the culprit turned out to be the crank position sensor. I would be taking it to the dealer if you are still under warranty and would definitely not be driving it anywhere for pleasure. Good luck. Let us know what it turns out to be.

It's under warranty if your car is under 3yrs or 36K miles, or you extended the warranty. I don't think its part of the 5yr/100K powertrain limited warranty.

it should be if its an engine part, i hope. buget can`t afford an expensive hit.

went out for ride, up to 75mph, nothing wrong! what the h###?

Dear tntwolt,

What is the model year of your HHR? What is the current mileage on your vehicle? Do you have an extended warranty?

In the owner's manual, you will also read to have the vehicle to the dealership to have this look at by the service department. There might be codes that they are able to pull from your vehicle to find out what is going on.

2009, lT 43,500miles. i also have problem with "juggles" from front brakes. brakes were cut with new pads and shoes from outen chevy, hamburg, pa. i believe i have an extended warranty.

Dear tntwolt,

Thank you for the additional information. I would contact the company that you have the extended warranty from to verify what your extended warranty coverage is. I would then get your vehicle into the dealership for the ESC code.

Sincerely,
Michelle, Chevrolet Customer Service
