| 2010 | STEERING | ON 1/13/2012 WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP, I LOST THE POWER STEERING TO MY HHR AND THE DIC DISPLAYED "POWER STEERING". I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF, AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE IF I COULD FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BELTS. NOTHING WAS FOUND AND I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. TWO WEEKS LATER, THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING IT WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR A SHORT TIME, THEN ONCE DRIVING, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AGAIN. THE POWER STEERING MOTOR IN THE HHR IS THE SAME MODEL NOTED IN THE RECALL FOR THE 2010 CHEVY COBOLT NOTED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE10005. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WHILE I INTEND TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REPAIRED, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT INVESTIGATION FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE IS CONSIDERED AS THE COLBOLT AND HHR SHARE THE SAME FRAME AND ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL IN SCHEMATIC MAKEUP. *TT |
| 2008 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | BRAKES ARE HARD ON COLD START ON MY 2008 CHEVROLET HHR SS TURBO. ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. IT'S IN FOR THE SECOND TIME BECAUSE THEIR PROGRAMMING DIDN'T WORK. I HEARD THAT THE PONTIAC SOLSTICE AND SATURN SKY HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU, PAT *TR |
