| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2009 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET HHR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WOULD NOT REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL FUSES AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 51,000. |
| 2008 | STEERING | WHILE ON VACATION WE WERE DRIVING IN WASHINGTON DC TRAFFIC DURING MID DAY TRAFFIC CONGESTION, THE POWER STEERING FAILED IN OUR CAR. WE WERE LUCKY AND WERE ABLE TO STRUGGLE TO STEER TO GET OFF TO THE EDGE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING UNTIL SEVERAL HOURS LATER AGAIN IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES IN NEXT TWO DAYS BEFORE GETTING IT BACK HOME & TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A COMPONENT THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER MODELS BUT NOT THIS ONE. I CANNOT UNDERSTATE THE DANGER OF LOSING POWER STEERING IN ANY ROAD CONDITIONS, PUTTING MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND OTHER MOTORISTS IN DANGER. |
