Possibly an Electrical Problem 2006 HHR
This problem all started in Nov. 2013. My car had already been replaced with a new alternator & battery. I moved out in early Oct. then in Nov. I started having problems with the alarm. Using the remote to arm and disarm the alarm, it wasn't working properly. I thought that the battery to my remote alarm wore out so I went to the store to get new batteries for the remote control and replaced the batteries. I started to arm the car with the remote control & it didn't work. That's the first problem. The second problem is my CD player. I started burning CD's and started using my CD player. My CD player only worked I think 2 to 3 weeks and it would not eject my CD's or play any of them. Last problem, I just got back from visiting with friends and family 3 hour trip on the train, came back, drove my car back home and there was a problem. I started to park my car until the car started glitching, stalling on me. Didn't know what the problem was. The ABS, TC, Radio lights kept going on and off. Once I turned the car off, it didn't start. So I waited the next day to see if my car started it did. But then 5 mins passed, it started stalling again with the same problem lights glitching, stalling on & off. So the next day I turned the car on again, it worked. I had to go to the store. Car started stalling when I was making turns. So i thought maybe my radio is whats causing the problem to stall. Mind you the car is still running, & drive-able. After that, the car had been working fine for 2 weeks until I had just left work, went to the store then after that I drove off, made another turn then the lights started coming back on again. I pulled over, turned the car off I didn't want to drain the battery while being left on. Started the car again, the car was dead. I would turn the car on & off it would start at times when it would want. While I would leave the car on the lights come on again this time I just let it sit and see if there are more problems to it. New messages starts showing up on my dashboard stating "Power Steering" & "Service Airbags". It was just so many electrical problems with this vehicle. Once AAA came by to jump start my car, it started. So we tested the car out and see if the problem would happen again with the lights coming on and off, the repair guy took the charger off and the car lights came on. While it was sitting with the engine on, the lights went away. Repair guy followed me less then a mile and my car was working fine. Made it home safely. I don't understand why this vehicle isn't being recalled. Went to several mechanics they told me it could be the alternator or batteries but both have been replaced. Can't predict when this problem is going to occur. I don't want any mechanic to charge me something that isn't a problem with my vehicle. I'm leasing this car, had it for almost 2 years in April. Can someone give me a code to this problem so I can call the dealership and tell them the problem to this vehicle. It'll be very much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Welcome to the site. X2 on the fuse box also check the battery cable to the under hood fuse box. They have been know to work loose and cause problems very similar to your problems. Make sure it's tight.

Leasing a 2006????? I never heard of leasing a used car. Isn't the object of leasing to let the lessor (owner) worry about repairs while the lessee (renter) takes care of "normal maintenance".
I am going by Skyline's translation, because my eyes could only pick up about 10 words of that.
