| 2007 | STEERING | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET HHR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN, THE POWER STEERING SEIZED AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A CEMENT BARRIER. THE POLICE WERE CONTACTED AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS LATER CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION AND THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO STOP AND RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR THE FAILURE TO RESET. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH THE POTENTIAL OF THE FAILURE CAUSING FUTURE CRASHES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. |
| 2009 | STEERING | MY WIFE DRIVES A 2009 CHEVROLET HHR AND THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT SPORADICALLY WHILE SHE IS DRIVING. THIS MAY OCCUR 1 TIME OR IT HAS HAPPENED UP TO 4 TIMES IN 10 MILE DISTANCE. IT HAS HAPPENED AT HI SPEED OF 60 MPH OR WHEN SHE IS IN A PARKING LOT DOING 5 MPH. EACH TIME IF SHE TURNS THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTS THE CAR THE POWER STEERING IS FINE.THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. THIS PUTS MY WIFE'S AND MY KIDS SAFETY AT RISK. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE CHEVROLET HHR'S IN CANADA HAVE BEEN RECALLED TO THIS FAULTY MOTOR. CHEVROLET COBALT'S WITH THE SAME MOTOR HAVE ALSO BEEN RECALLED. WHY HAVEN'T THE CHEVROLET HHR'S BEEN RECALLED. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK. I HAVE HAD TO PARK THIS CAR DUE TO IT'S SAFETY RISKS.I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT $775.00 TO REPLACE THIS MOTOR. SOUNDS OUTRAGEOUS TO FIX A FAULTY MOTOR THAT GM IS WELL AWARE OF ITS PROBLEMS. *TR |
