mine is actually getting worse and I am taking it in tommorow. I guess I will be driveing my 73 firebird for a while.

 

It's happened to me twice this week. Wonder if it's a temperature or a/c issue. Never happened when the weather was cooler. Also have developed an a/c "grinding"? noise. Time for a check-up!

 

Well... no TSB yet... They thought there was, but alas there is not. I'm still waiting for my pump....It's been a week thus far!

 

Any news on this issue. I would like some info befor I go to the dealer.

 

Update - I had mine checked while at the dealer this week. No codes printed, unable to duplicate. It only happened once so I don't think I will dwell on it any longer.

 

I bought my HHR in February, and I am loving it. But I am having a problem with the vehicle starting. It starts sometimes with the ignition key and the keyless fob, but it's like it continues unto a longer start than usual sometimes it does not start and sometimes it does. First time I took it back they replaced the keyless fob. Took it home and the same day it did it again, so I gave it some time figuring it would correct itself. Took it back again, for the same problem, my husband, niece, a friend, they all heard it do this, but the dealer could not replicate what it had done, so I have it back again, and it does it from time to time. I have my husband's camera and put it on video each time I get in the vehicle and guess what it does not do it, but it has happened when I forgot to turn the video on. I wanted to give proof to the dealer, so they would believe me, I guess I will continue doing this. I was thinking they were trying to wait until the warranty runs out, but I have the Elite Plus warranty so its on the vehicle up to 100,000.00 miles. Any suggestions as to what to do next? I guess just keep running it? I am afraid it will mess the vehicle up eventually. Thank You!

 

It is my understanding that this issue is due to the fuel pump loosing its prime and there is supposed to be a TSB issued for this. I think you would want to get it corrected as soon as possible since it is putting more wear and tear on your starter. I am experiencing the same issue, but I have not taken my car in yet either. There seems to be no ryhme or reason to when the hard starting happens either

 

i took mine in and they could not replicate the issue. Suprise! Anyway, it is driving me nuts. AS is the leak that they "fixed" too. I dont balme my dealer, but GM corporate needs to step it up a bit and either fix the proble the 1st time or replace the poblem all together..

 

Can you tell me what a TSB is? Does this come from the dealer or GM. I guess I will try to catch it doing it on video,and then maybe they will believe me but I doubt it since they have to replicate the problem. No error codes came up on it either. They kept it overnight because I thought well maybe the cold start would cause it to do it, but no it did not. Like you said I have no idea when its going to do it. Well I guess I will keep running it until I get it on video so they can hear it. Thanks.

 

I just noticed I replied back to the wrong person, but hopefully you can still help me with the TSB. Thank You.
