| 2006 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | 2006 CHEVY HHR CONTINUES TO HAVE POWER STEERING GO OUT DURING OPERATION. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. AFTER READING SEVERAL BLOGS, IT APPEARS THAT THE CAUSE IS A DEFECT IN THE EPS (ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING). IT EMPLOYS THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM), POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE (PSCM), TORQUE MODULE AND VARIOUS OTHER SYSTEMS. THE SYSTEM BECOMES CORRUPTED AND CAUSES INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING FAILURE. AS STATED ABOVE, IF THE SYSTEM FAILS DURING CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, (I.E. DRIVING IN CURVING, MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN) AND SYSTEM FAILS, THIS COULD CAUSE VERY DIFFICULT STEERING AND A TRAFFIC CRASH. *TR |
