| 2009 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I HAVE TWO ISSUES GOING ON WITH MY HHR. LAST EVENING I PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND MY KEY WOULD NOT TURN OFF ENGINE AND RELEASE. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO RESEARCH HOW TO TURN OFF MY CAR. MY CAR RAN IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR 2 HOURS WASTING GAS UNTIL WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO TURN OFF CAR. THE MANUAL STATES THAT YOU CAN PUSH A TUMBLER AND TURN THE KEY TO RELEASE IT. THE MANUAL IS NOT CLEAR ON WHAT THE TUMBLER IS BUT THE ONLY MOVABLE PIECE INSIDE STEERING WHEEL BASE DID NOT HELP TO RELEASE THE KEY. WE FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO PULL THE FUSE TO SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSING AROUND THE TIME I STARTED CALLING AND THEIR OPTION TO COME LEAVE THE CAR WITHOUT OTHER TRANSPORTATION WAS NOT A GOOD OPTION FOR ME WITH KIDS. ONCE FUSE WAS OUT THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE KEY IN IT WHICH IS CAUSING A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL OF STRESS FOR ME. I HAVE TO PUT FUSE BACK IN THIS MORNING AND TAKE TO DEALERSHIP TO GET MY CAR FIXED. FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS THE FIX SHOULD BE THE SAME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF THIS IS SUCH A BIG ISSUE WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WILL WE AS LOYAL CUSTOMERS GET A REFUND WHEN THEY ACTUALLY DO DECIDE TO RECALL THIS APPARENT DEFECTIVE CAR. MY OTHER ISSUE IS THE AIR BAG LIGHT POPS ON FOR UNSPECIFIED PERIODS OF TIME AND SAYS IT NEEDS SERVICED. IT CAN GO OFF FOR DAYS AND WEEKS AT A TIME AND THEN DECIDE TO POP BACK ON. I HAVE ALSO BEEN READING ABOUT THIS ISSUE IN THE COMPLAINTS AND WONDERING WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AS WELL. *TR |
