| 2006 | STRUCTURE:BODY | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET HHR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE DETACHED COMPLETELY.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. |
| 2009 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | ON MAY 26TH OF 2011, I BOUGHT A 2009 CHEVY HHR. ACTUAL MILES WAS 43K. IT NOW HAS 45K. I HAVE NOT EVEN MADE MY FIRST PAYMENT ON THE CAR WHEN I EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM. ON JULY 7 AFTER I ARRIVED AT WORK, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF SO I COULD FINISH MY WORK DAY. GOT THE CAR HOME AND HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AGAIN. WHEN I CONTACTED A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE PERSONNEL ABOUT MY CAR NOT SHUTTING OFF, HE SAID, їLET ME GUESS, THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITIONї? I SAID YES AND HE QUOTED THE PRICE WOULD BE 3 OR 4 HUNDRED DOLLARS TO FIX IT. ON JULY 8TH, WE HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. EVEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND SAID, їTHAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE HAVE TO TOW IN THE HHRSї. ON JULY 7TH PM, I GOT ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. TO MY UNDERSTANDING, CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS FAILED TO PUT OUT A RECALL. I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF MONEY. I AM ON A TIGHT BUDGET AS MANY PEOPLE ARE. I HAD TO BORROW THE MONEY TO GET THE CAR FIXED. IT IS A SHAME THE QUALITY OF MAKING A CAR HAS GONE DOWN HILL. I THINK THAT CHEVY SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM SO THAT IT DOES NOT REOCCUR AGAIN. I ALSO THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE MONEY THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO SPEND ON GETTING THIS PROBLEM FIXED. SO, MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS, HOW MANY COMPLAINTS MUST IT TAKE FOR YOU TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND ISSUE OUT A RECALL? CHEVY SHOULD їMAN UPї AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR |
