| 2006 | STEERING | 2006 CHEVY HHR LT, WHILE DRIVING AT A POSTED SPEED OF 45MPH, DAUGHTER LOST POWER STEERING SENDING HER INTO THE CURB ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER CAR THEN INTO THE CURB AGAIN. SHE WAS TERRIFIED BY THIS INCIDENT. MY HUSBAND WENT TO PICK HER UP AND HE DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO OUR HOUSE, AND WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH, AGAIN THE POWER STEERING FAILED, AND HE ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE WALL BUT WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP WITHIN INCHES OF CRASHING. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT HAS NOW COME ON SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE STEERING HAS GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING THREE TIMES THUS FAR. IN ADDITION THE GEAR SHIFT HAS BECOME A PROBLEM AGAIN WHERE IT LOCKS, AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS REPLACED 3 TIMES, EACH TIME LASTING ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE THE PROBLEM REOCCURS. I HAVE READ THAT SEVERAL OTHER 2006 MODELS HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME POWER STEERING PROBLEM, SEVERAL OF THEM RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED BEFORE EXPANDING THE RECALL TO INCLUDE THE STEERING ON THE 2006 CHEVY HHR? *TR |
| 2006 | STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR | I HAVE A 2006 HHR AND THE PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS BROKEN OFF. I HAVE TO LEAVE MY CAR RUNNING , ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN, STICK MY HAND OUT OF THE WINDOW, OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE, ROLL MY WINDOW BACK UP AND THEN KILL THE MOTOR. I, TOO, WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $400.00 TO REPLACE THE DOOR PANEL. THIS IS A TOTAL RIPOFF!!!!!!!!!!!. GM/CHEVROLET OR WHOEVER MANUFACTURED THIS CAR SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR PUTTING IN A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC. THERE SHOULD BE ANOTHER WAY TO FIX THIS WITHOUT PUTTING OUT $400/$500 FOR A BROKEN PIECE OF PLASTIC! AND THAT PROBABLY DOES NOT INCLUDE TAX AND LABOR! *TR |
