2011 Chevrolet Hhr

WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45 MILES PER HOUR , ALL OF A SUDDEN IN THE DIC A ESC ACTIVE STARTED FLASHING AND MY CAR START LOSING SPEED AND IT FELT LIKE THE TRACTION KICKED IN. I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED DOWN TO MAKE SURE IT HAD NOT JUMPED OUT OF GEAR. IT WAS IN THE CORRECT GEAR. THE ESC ACTIVE WENT AWAY AFTER ABOUT 45 SECONDS, AND ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN AND I HAD TO PUT ON MU EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND PULL OFF THE ROAD. BY THE TIME I GOT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD , THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO LOCK UP AND IT ACT LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO STOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. BY THIS TIME THE SPEED HAD DROPPED TO ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THIS HAPPEN WAS DRY , AND THE TIRES AND THE BRAKES ON MY CAR WAS IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. ONCE IT WAS TOWED TO MY HOUSE I DROVE IT AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT 5 TIMES AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I AM TOO SCARED TO DO IN HIGHWAY DRIVING OF THIS CAR, BECAUSE IF IT HAPPENS WHILE I AM ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING I COULD POSSIBILITY BE IN A ACCIDENT IF THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE READ OTHER REVIEWS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING , BUT HAVE NOT GOT ANY REASONS TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THE CAR HAS ROUGHLY 87570 MILES ON IT. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE CHEVROLET PEOPLE TOMORROW, BEFORE I TAKE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP.

IN COLDER TEMPERATURES MY CAR SPUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING AND RPMS JUMP QUICKLY FROM 2 TO 3 AND THEN BACK DOWN. IN ADDITION, THE RADIO MAY TURN OFF, ALL DASH GAUGES (FUEL, SPEED, RPMS) GO TO 0, VARIOUS SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON (NOT ALWAYS THE SAME) AND THEN EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL. CAR WORKS FINE IN WARMER TEMPERATURES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2013 AND WHEN PLUGGED IN THERE WERE REPORTS IF 20 THINGS WRONG AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WOULD COST THOUSAND TO CHECK ALL OF THE ISSUES BEING REPORTED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ALTHOUGH THEY WERE VERY NICE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO HELP DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE WAS. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SERVICE PLACE AND WHILE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE ULTIMATE PROBLEM THEY PUT DIELECTRIC GREASE ON ALL MY ELECTRONIC CONNECTIONS IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD AND IT WORKED FINE THE REST IF THE WINTER. THEY SAID IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT I CAME IN WHEN I DID BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IF I DROVE IT ANY LONGER I WOULD HAVE DESTROYED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. IN 2014, I HAD THEM DO THE SAME "FIX". NOW IN 2015 IT HAS STARTED BACK UP AGAIN.
