CHEVROLET HHR 2009 car safety problem was reported on May 25, 2011.CHEVROLET HHR 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with STEERING . I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING WENT OUT, I PULLED OFF THE EXPRESSWAY ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED MY CAR OFF AND BACK ON, THEN I CONTINUED JOURNEY HOME. I HADN'T DROVE A MILE BEFORE IT WENT OUT AGAIN. I PULLED OFF THE EXPRESSWAY TWO OR THREE MORE TIMES. IT CONTINUED TO GO OUT, SO I DECIDED TO DRIVE HOME SINCE THE CAR DEALER WAS ALREADY CLOSED FOR THE DAY. I PHONED THEM FROM WORK THE NEXT DAY ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE PART HAD NOT BEEN RECALLED AND IF I WANTED TO GET IT FIXED IT WOULD BE $500 PLUS TAXES OR MORE IF THEY DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS THE STEERING COLUMN. $500 WHICH I DID NOT HAVE, MY HUSBAND PURCHASED THE PART AND INSTALLED IT OVER THE MEMORIAL HOLIDAY WEEKEND. WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET OUR MONEY BACK. MY CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING SHOULD NOT BE GOING OUT. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THE SAME PART IS USED IN THE CHEVY COBALT AND IT HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL ON IT FOR THE CHEVY HHR LT AS WELL, SINCE THE SAME PART IS BEING USED IN IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHAT IF I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO REPORTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND SOMEONE HAD BEEN KILLED OR INJURED. I SINCERELY HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO ASSIST ME AND THE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

I HAVE TWO ISSUES GOING ON WITH MY HHR. LAST EVENING I PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND MY KEY WOULD NOT TURN OFF ENGINE AND RELEASE. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO RESEARCH HOW TO TURN OFF MY CAR. MY CAR RAN IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR 2 HOURS WASTING GAS UNTIL WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO TURN OFF CAR. THE MANUAL STATES THAT YOU CAN PUSH A TUMBLER AND TURN THE KEY TO RELEASE IT. THE MANUAL IS NOT CLEAR ON WHAT THE TUMBLER IS BUT THE ONLY MOVABLE PIECE INSIDE STEERING WHEEL BASE DID NOT HELP TO RELEASE THE KEY. WE FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO PULL THE FUSE TO SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSING AROUND THE TIME I STARTED CALLING AND THEIR OPTION TO COME LEAVE THE CAR WITHOUT OTHER TRANSPORTATION WAS NOT A GOOD OPTION FOR ME WITH KIDS. ONCE FUSE WAS OUT THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH THE KEY IN IT WHICH IS CAUSING A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL OF STRESS FOR ME. I HAVE TO PUT FUSE BACK IN THIS MORNING AND TAKE TO DEALERSHIP TO GET MY CAR FIXED. FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS THE FIX SHOULD BE THE SAME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF THIS IS SUCH A BIG ISSUE WHY THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WILL WE AS LOYAL CUSTOMERS GET A REFUND WHEN THEY ACTUALLY DO DECIDE TO RECALL THIS APPARENT DEFECTIVE CAR. MY OTHER ISSUE IS THE AIR BAG LIGHT POPS ON FOR UNSPECIFIED PERIODS OF TIME AND SAYS IT NEEDS SERVICED. IT CAN GO OFF FOR DAYS AND WEEKS AT A TIME AND THEN DECIDE TO POP BACK ON.

I WAS DRIVING MY CHEVY HHR WHEN IT STARTED OVERHEATING AND SMOKING AND DIDN'T SEEM SAFE TO DRIVE, SO I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED AT ABOUT 147,000 MILES DUE TO OVERHEATING. I WAS TOLD THAT IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE WHICH WOULD BE 4,000. WANTING A SECOND OPINION, WE HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO BASICALLY SAID THE EXACT SAME THING. THEN WECALLED GM BECAUSE THE MECHANIC TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS A TECH BULLETIN OUT ON IT AND THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE HHR'S SO WE WERE HOPING THAT GM WOULD HELP US SINCE THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. GM SAID THAT THEY COULD PROBABLY HELP US BUT FIRST WE HAD TO PAY ANOTHER 200 TO GET IT TOWED TO ANOTHER CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEN PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS. I WAS HESITANT, BUT HE TOLD ME THAT IF WE DID THAT HE SHOULD HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO HELP US OUT WITH THE ENGINE. WE DID ALL THAT, AND THEY CALLED US BACK THIS MORNING TO SAY THAT THE ISSUE WAS EXACTLY WHAT WE HAD TOLD THEM FROM THE BEGINNING BUT NOT ONLY WOULD THEY NOT HELP US OUT AT ALL, THIS DEALERSHIP WANTS 6,000 FOR THE NEW ENGINE INSTEAD OF THE $4,000 THAT THE FIRST DEALERSHIP QUOTED US. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE CAN'T TELL IF THE ENGINE CRACKED BECAUSE THE CAR OVERHEATED, OR IF THE CAR OVERHEATED BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRACKED, BUT EITHER WAY HE SAID HE CAN'T TELL IF IT'S A MANUFACTURERS DEFAULT OR NOT SO THEY'RE DECIDING TO GO WITH NOT SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO HELP US. *TR.Mileage was 170000 miles.

CHEVROLET HHR 2009 car safety problem was reported on May 30, 2013.CHEVROLET HHR 2009, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with STEERING . MOST RECENTLY ALMOST EVERY TIME I TURN ON MY CAR, I WILL DRIVE FOR MAYBE 5 MINUTES AND MY STEERING WHEEL BECOMES LOCKED. I WILL PULL OFF TO THE SIDE SHUT OFF & TURN BACK ON THE CAR LEAVE IT SIT ON FOR ANOTHER MINUTE OR SO PULL OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WILL BECOME ENGAGED AGAIN LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL.

THERE ARE NO DISPLAY WARNINGS ON YOUR DASH BOARD, YOU WILL HAVE TO BRING IT BACK TO US WHEN IT IS ON. THIS ISSUE IS BECOMING VERY ALARMING TO ME SINCE IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I CAN'T KEEP TAKING OFF EVERY TIME I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF WHEN I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NO WORK GETS DONE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 63500 miles.

CHEVROLET HHR 2009 Safety Review #10542602

CHEVROLET HHR 2009 car safety problem was reported on Jan 01, 2010.CHEVROLET HHR 2009, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . WHEN HHR IS STOPPED ON A HILL, FOR A RED LIGHT OR FROM BEING PARKED ON A HILL OR EVEN A SLOPE, IT DRIFTS BACKWARDS AS SOON AS YOU GO FROM HAVING THE BRAKES ON, SUCH AS AT A RED LIGHT, TO HITTING THE GAS TO GO FORWARD WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THERE IS A CAR BEHIND YOU BECAUSE THE HHR ALWAYS DRIFTS BACKWARDS. YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO HIT THE GAS QUICK AND HOPE THE CAR BEHIND YOU ISN'T TOO CLOSE. ALSO, WHEN BACKING UP WHILE ON A HILL, THE CAR DRIFTS FORWARD EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE HITTING THE GAS CAUSING THE HHR TO COME WITHIN INCHES OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF CLOSE CALLS AND CONTINUE TO DO SO. IT'S A PANICKY SITUATION BECAUSE YOU'RE BASICALLY 'STUCK' BECAUSE AS SOON AS YOU TAKE YOU'RE FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE, IT DRIFTS AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO, BUT HOPE YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE SITUATION WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT'S SCARY, SO YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS AND HIT IT IMMEDIATELY AND PRAY THAT YOU DON'T DRIFT INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU OR BEHIND YOU, DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. THIS DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN OCCASIONALLY - IT WILL HAPPEN EACH TIME. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Chevrolet Hhr 2009 problem was reported in PITTSBURGH, PA.

CHEVY HHR ALL MODELS, ALL YEARS: WHEN EXITING MY VEHICLE THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE SNAPPED. IT IS MADE OF PLASTIC!! AFTER RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL MODELS AND ALL YEARS OF THE CHEVY HHR SINCE ALL INTERIOR HANDLES ARE MADE FROM PLASTIC. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION BECAUSE ONCE THE HANDLE HAS SNAPPED THE ONLY MEANS TO OPEN THE DOOR IS TO UNROLL THE WINDOW AND OPEN WITH THE OUSIDE HANDLE OR TO HAVE ANOTHER PERSON OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE - NOT IDEAL, ESPECIALLY IF ONE IS IN AN ACCIDENT OR EMERGENCY. I BELIEVE CHEVY SHOULD REPLACE ALL HANDLES WITH A STURDY, NON-BREAKABLE METAL HANDLE. THIS WOULD IMPROVE SAFETY OF THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 60000 miles. Chevrolet Hhr 2009 problem was reported in SAN DIEGO, CA.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG AND TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A PARKWAY ENTRANCE I HEARD A WARNING TONE AND MY DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER POWER STEERING. I THEN REALIZED I HAD NO POWER STEERING. FORTUNATELY FOR MYSELF IT WAS AS IF I WERE DRIVING A CAR WITH MANUAL STEERING & WAS NOT A REAL ISSUE FOR MYSELF. WHAT IF IT WERE A SMALL WOMEN WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR. MAYBE SHE WOULD NOT HAVE THE STRENGHT OR REACTIO TO A SITUATION LIKE THAT. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WITH THE CHEVY COBALT. THE HHR IS BIULT ON THE SAME PLATFORM. EARLIER MODELS OF THE COBALT WERE RECALLED BUT THE HHR WAS NOT!!! I WROTE TO YOU PEOPLE LAST YEAR ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THERE ARE PLENTY OF WEBSITES ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GOOGLE CHEVROLET HHR POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. AS AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN I REPLACED THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MYSELF. G.M. TOLD ME IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY.MY IGNITION TUMBLER ALSO LOCKED UP ON MY VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT DOWN THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY COVERED THAT UNDER WARRANTY. I APPLAUD YOU FOR GOING AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCHES BUT THAT IS ONLY PART OF THE STORY. HOW ARE THEY ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH PEOPLES LIVES LETTING THEM DRIVE WITH DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING.
