2008 CHEVROLET HHR Complaints

ALL FOUR LIGHTS ON THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT ARE OUT AND THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT WORKING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET HHR. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2008 HHR IS LEAKING GAS FROM THE FUEL LINE BY MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. THE LEAK STARTS WHEN I START MY CAR AND ENDS WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF THE CAR ENGINE BEING TURNED OFF.

HEAD LIGHT KEEP BURNING OUT 6 MONTH TO A YEAR WITHOUT WARNING. HAVE TO REPLACE CONSTANTLY. WHILE MOVING OR PARKED.

I WAS TOLD BY A NEIGHBOR THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE REAR BOTTOM OF THE CAR. I CAME HOME AND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW THAT FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM THE GAS LINE NEXT TO THE MUFFLER.THE VEHICLE IS NOW PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.

THE FUEL LINE WAS RUSTED THROUGH DUE TO YEARS OF THE WRAPPING AROUND THE FUEL LINE GETTING WET AND NOT BEING WATERPROOF MATERIAL. IT'S COSTING 900 TO HAVE FIXED. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE UNDER 100,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND GET ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE ON TIME. I KNOW CARS DON'T LAST FOREVER BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE WITH HHR MODELS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

FUEL LINE IS UNSAFE AND FIRE HAZARD. NOTICED A LEAK AROUND REAR DOOR. THE LINE IS MADE OF CHEAP STEEL, NOT SOMETHING LIKE STAINLESS STEEL AND NEXT TO THE EXHAUST PIPE. COULD CAUSE BOTH A FIRE AND EXPLOSION. THIS IS A RECALL REPAIR FOR GM.

FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS I NOTICED MY POWER STEERING, CRUISE CONTROL BEING CUT OFF AND JERKING WITH MY CAR. BUT UP TIL THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST MY CAR WOULDN'T START, IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. COME AUGUST 18TH MY CAR COMPLLIFE ROY WON'T START. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOOK IN THE CAR FOR THE RECALL BUT NOW IT'S ACTING UP AGAIN. MULTIPLE TIME WHERE I LOOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR AND OR THE CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN TO THE POINT IT FELT LIKE I WAS STOPPING THEN IT WOULD JERK. I THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIX THIS BUT THEY CAN NOT, GM, RIGTH WAY AND ETC ARE NOT HELPING. I'M TERRIFIED MY CAR WON'T WORK AND ALSO IT'LL BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

THE FUEL LINE IN MY 2008 HHR CHEVY WAGON, COMING FROM THE REAR FUEL TANK IS PRESSURIZED BY A FUEL PUMP. JUST IN FRONT OF THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE, IT UNDERGOES A 90-DEGREE BEND. THIS PAST WEEKEND, IT FAILED, MOST LIKELY DUE TO CORROSION, AND GASOLINE WAS BEING PUMPED OUT OF THE TANK AT A VERY HIGH VOLUME. THIS IS THE THIRD GM PRODUCT THAT I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO IN EXACTLY THE SAME SPOT, THE OTHER TWO WERE SATURN ION SEDANS. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME YESTERDAY THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE FOR GM FUEL LINES. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE LEAK DID NOT CAUSE A FIRE- IT WAS A LARGE POOL OF FUEL UNDER THE CAR! (WHENEVER THE IGNITION IS TURNED ON, IT APPEARS THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS SUPPLYING PRESSURIZED FUEL TO THE LINE. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER YELLED AT ME TO TURN THE KEY OFF AFTER I GOT IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY! IT WAS GUSHING GAS! THE NHTSA SHOULD CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. ($100 TO FIX, NOT BAD FOR AN OLD CAR.) THANKS.

MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME. I REPLACED THE BRAKE POSITIONING SENSOR. IT IS UNDER MY IMPRESSION THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS. I THINK THE FIX IS RUNNING A GROUND CABLE TO THE CAR'S COMPUTER. I ALSO CANNOT USE MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND CRUISE CONTROL. PLEASE EMAIL ME AT YOUR CONVENIENCE AT [XXX].
