| 2009 | STEERING | TWICE TODAY, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING FOR THE FIRST TIME. UPON STOPPING, PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RE-STARTING THE VEHICLE IT WORKED AGAIN FOR A SHORT PERIOD. (LESS THEN 2 MILES) LUCKILY, WE WERE ONLY TRAVELING 40 MPH ON A STRAIGHT, LEVEL, SIDE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED THE SECOND TIME. I HAVE VISIONS OF VERY BAD THINGS IF/WHEN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON A WINDING ROADWAY. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, BEFORE MAKING THIS REPORT, I READ OF MANY OTHERS WHO OWN THIS SAME VEHICLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND THAT THERE IS POSSIBILITY THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER RECALL IN CANADA, BUT NOT IN THE US. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE SAME PARTS ARE USED IN THE CHEVY COBALT, DOES HAVE A RECALL. *TR |
| 2008 | STEERING | MY 2008 CHEVROLET HHR HAS DEVELOPED AN INTERMITTENT STEERING POWER ASSIST FAILURE. IT FIRST OCCURRED A WEEK AGO UPON START UP. I DROVE IT A FEW MILES, AFRAID TO TURN IT OFF FOR FEAR I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME UPON RESTARTING. UPON RESTARTING IN MY DRIVEWAY, THE PROBLEM WAS GONE. NOW, A WEEK LATER AND WITH MY DAUGHTER BORROWING THE CAR TO DRIVE TO WORK IN A SNOWSTORM, THE PROBLEM RESURFACED AS SHE WAS DRIVING! I SEE THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM BEING REPORTED DAILY. WHY IS THIS ISSUE NOT BEING DEALT WITH BY THE MANUFACTURER? WTF! I CANNOT AFFORD THE EXPENSE AT THE MOMENT, SO THE CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING DRIVEN WITH THIS UNSAFE CONDITION. *TR |
