Hi, It's either a bad sensor , idol controller, or a Vacuum leak. Check all hoses for leaks. If all is OK, then the next thing it could be is a bad intake manifold gasket. Hope that helps.

They DO NOT have a power steering pump. This type of vehicle has an electric motor under the steering column that controls steering.

Contact dealership for recalls. You could have a issue in the transmission or a loss or bad axle. Take it to a transmission shop and have them test drive it. They can also tell you if this is a common problem. It might be as simple as a mount.You say the sound come when you let off the accelerator, I would check the mounts also. Good luck!

Is this an issue with all 2008 HHR remotes??? Highly doubtful , probably the vehicles keyless entry system . Taking the vehicle to a qualified repair shop an having the keyless entry system checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's . Do you know what a DTC is ? The keyless entry system is a vehicle entry device. The keyless entry system is used in conjunction with the body control module (BCM) to remotely activate certain vehicle features. Keyless entry will lock/unlock the doors, or release the rear compartment lid when a corresponding button on the keyless entry transmitter is pressed. This is accomplished by the transmitter sending a radio frequency to the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR). The RCDLR interprets the signal and activates the requested function via a serial data message to the BCM. A low transmitter or vehicle battery or radio frequency (RF) interference from aftermarket devices, such as 2-way radios, power inverters, computers, etc., may cause a system malfunction. High RF traffic areas may also cause interference that could lead to a malfunction. Keyless entry allows you to operate the following components: • Door locks • Liftgate lock • Remote rear doors (Panel only) • Vehicle locator/panic alarm • Illuminated entry lamps • Remote vehicle start The keyless entry system has the following components: • Keyless entry transmitters • Keyless entry antenna • 2 Way Advanced Remote Start RCDLR • BCM Guessing will not fix this .

Doesn't sound like you know a whole lot , do yourself a favor an take it to a qualifified repair shop . No DTC - diagnostic trouble code tell's you to just replace anything. Not without doing the diagnostic testing associated with the code. An you would need a factory service repair information manual for that . You have no clue how this vehicle work's . The igntion switch is low voltage input to the BCM - body control module . When the ignition switch is turned to start voltage that is applied to the ignition switch goes through resistors droping the voltage down . When the BCM see's this voltage it inturn energizes relay's to turn on the vehicle system's an it will also send messages over the serial data network to other modules . So ,before you make it unfixable take it to some qualified repair shop.

Check any hoses and oil lines for damage or kinks, sometimes the inside of hoses can be damaged and act as a one way valve and restrict oil flow.

Do you have a professional scanner ,do a scan of the whole vehicle . Instrument cluster , BCM , etc... Not OBD2 scan from autozone or advance etc.... thier tool can't check the whole vehicle network . The control module's on your vehicle all share information on what is called a serial data bus ,or communication network. ( temperature guage not working- sending unit keeps blowing, ) I don't think the sending unit is the problem , an it's not a sending unit . It's a engine coolant temperature sensor ,an it's a input to the PCM/ECM - engine computer . The engine computer send's this info. to the instrument cluster on the GMLAN data network . GM had problem's with stepper motors in the instrument clusters . The stepper motor control's the gauge needle.2003 to 2006 How to repair GM Instrument Cluster Speedometer Gauge Stepper Also sounds like you have wiring harness issue's ,finding an viewing wiring diagrams an using a DMM - digital multi-meter to test affected circuit's is the way to a fix.

Looking at the diagram you will see the headlamp / multifunction switch is a low voltage input to the BCM - body control module , do you know anything about automotive electronic's ? The high beams are contolled by a relay energized by the BCM .

Sounds like a loose ground. Obtain a good volt/ohm meter and the wiring shop manual for your model and trace out the wires. You should be able to find and fix the problem. Sometimes weather will wrinkle the cones in speakers. Check yours, if they are dried and distorted take them to the parts counter guy and get new ones.

This was a on going problem for the malibu's, there in a factory recall on it but weather it would be good ?? the power steering on these was electric assist which is inline with the steering column, believe me, you will never have a complete loss of steering, it turns into "old school steering" were you need to use a little muscle to turn it. Three places to check for problems are, the 60 amp fuse in the power Distribution box under the hood , Connectors at the assist motor under drivers side dash, or oil pressure switch connector.
