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,

took car to shop, not a cotton picking thing wrong with it, accord to computer. no prob with air bag or ESC system.

Tell them they are full of ****. Also, tell them to sign off on the system being in perfect condition and keep it for your records. Have them state that nothing at all is wrong with it and summarize your concern in the signed letter. If it blows, sue them.

My ABS light used to come on once a week and often when I would back up in reverse. I took it to the dealership each Friday for a damn month straight. All they would do was hook it up to that stupid machine and tell me "We don't see anything wrong, looks good."-and send me on my way.

It pisses me off that they hide behind the data reader. They didn't even bother looking at the sensors or anything physically to do an in-depth examination. Clearly I just wanted to show up every damn Friday morning (my only day off) and have them tell me the same old same old. I went to another dealership-same answer. I asked them to look at it. They said they did, but obviously they didn't.

When putting on my winter wheels and tires, I noticed that an ABS sensor had fraying in the wiring.
