| 2007 | STEERING | I WAS GOING INTO A LEFT HAND CURVE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE DASH STARTED DINGING THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT. *TR |
| 2009 | STEERING | I PULLED INTO THE GAS STATION TO GET GAS. I COULD NOT SHUT THE CAR OFF NOR REMOVE THE KEY. MY 2009 COBALT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS FIXED DUE TO A VEHICLE RECALL. HOWEVER, MY 2009 HHR HAD NO RECALL ON IT EVEN THOUGH IT USES THE EXACT SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS AS THE COBALT DID. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE STEERING ON THE HHR SINCE IT SHARES THE EXACT SAME MECHANICALS AS THE COBALT. THE COBALT HAD A RECALL DUE TO STEERING, HOWEVER THE HHR DID NOT. A SEARCH FOR COMPLAINTS ON=LINE YIELDED MANY RESULTS. IT APPEARS THAT THE HHR'S ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS YET THE CONSUMERS ARE LEFT WITH PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS. MY GM DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE HHR USES THE EXACT SAME FAULTY PARTS AS THE COBALT AND HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE HHR WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL EITHER. HE STATED THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO FIX JUST AS MANY HHR'S AS THEY HAVE COBALTS... THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT COBALT OWNERS DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ANY OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES AND HHR OWNERS DO. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR |
