HHR Clutch Pedal Switch Issue

I'm having trouble with my 2008 Chevrolet HHR (gasoline engine, 122561 km). The clutch pedal switch seems to be failing. I'm getting an error, the gear selection display in the speedometer isn't working, cruise control is dead, and sometimes the engine won't start. I think it might be a bad cable or plug. Anyone else seen this?

The conversation revolves around a 2008 Chevrolet HHR experiencing issues with the clutch pedal switch, leading to problems such as a non-functional gear selection display, inoperative cruise control, and intermittent engine starting failures. The suspected causes include a faulty clutch pedal switch or a bad cable or plug connection. The suggested solution is to have the vehicle professionally diagnosed and repaired, as similar issues were resolved by replacing the clutch switch and fixing a bad connection.

Whoa, sounds familiar! I had almost the same problems with my HHR. Ignition was a nightmare, the gear selector acted possessed, and cruise control was just a distant memory. It was like a domino effect of weirdness. Did you check the safety switch?

I've checked the wiring and connections as best I can, but I can't find the exact problem. What fixed it for you? Did you replace the whole switch, or just repair the wiring?

Man, after chasing ghosts for a week I took mine to a workshop. They said it was the clutch switch and a bad connection. Save yourself the grief and have it checked out. Labor plus parts cost me about 95€.

Thanks, that confirms what I suspected. I'll take it to a shop for a proper diagnosis and repair. I appreciate the help; it saved me a lot of time. It was a bad clutch pedal switch, just like we thought!
