| 2006 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC | IN FEBRUARY 2007 I WAS IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT WHILE I WAS DRIVING A 2006 CHEVROLET HHR. I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 SOUTHBOUND NEAR WILMINGTON, DELAWARE. SOMEONE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY FROM AND ON RAMP PULLED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES ON THE HHR, THE CAR PULLED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. THE MORE I BRAKED, THE MORE THE CAR PULLED TO THE RIGHT. I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND I ENDED UP DRIVING ACROSS TWO LANE PERPENDICULAR TO THE TRAFFIC AND I HIT A VAN HEAD ON. NO ONE WAS INJURED BUT MY HHR WAS TOTALED. I FEEL THAT THE BRAKES ON THE HHR WERE DEFECTIVE AND THE WAY THEY PULLED TO ONE SIDE INSTEAD OF STOPPING STRAIGHT CAUSED ME TO CRASH. I REPORTED THIS TO CHEVROLET AFTER THE CRASH BUT NOTHING WAS DONE AS FAR A A RECALL OR ANYTHING. IN FACT, I READ ABOUT A SIMILAR PROBLEM WHEN THE 2006 HHR WAS RECEIVED ON EDMONDS.COM. THE AUTHOR OF THE REVIEW EXPRESSED THAT HE THOUGHT THAT THE HHR'S BRAKING WAS DANGEROUS. *TR |
| 2008 | STEERING | THE POWER STEERING IN MY 2008 CHEVROLET HHR FAILS OFTEN. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THEN MY POWER STEERING IS GONE. THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES A DAY AND THEN WILL NOT HAPPEN SOMETIMES FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THERE IS NO PARTICULAR TIME IT HAPPENS. SOMETIMES I AM JUST DRIVING ALONG AND IT HAS EVEN HAPPENED WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. *TR |
