2009 CHEVROLET HHR Complaints

TURN SIGNAL DOES NOT TURN OFF BY RETURNING TO ORIGINAL POSITION. I HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN IT OFF EVERY TIME. IF I DO NOT USE IT, AFTER I TURN THE CORNER, IT CLICKS LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN ITSELF OFF. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 5 YEARS.

WAS GETTING SERVICED AND WAS INFORMED THAT FUEL LINES WERE ALL RUSTED OUT AND LEAKING VERY BAD. IS GM DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS???FIRE HAZARD

THE FUEL LINE FROM THE FUEL TANK TO THE ENGINE BENDS AROUND BY THE WHEEL AND APPARENTLY RUBS WITH EVERYDAY DRIVING. EVENTUALLY IT RUBBED A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE. I NOTICED IT AFTER I PARKED THE CAR AND COULD SEE FUEL DRIPPING IN FRONT OF THE REAR WHEEL. THE LINE FROM FRONT TO BACK OF THE CAR IS A SINGLE PIECE AND COST SOMETHING LIKE $700 FOR THE LINE ALONE. (STUPID) INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE LINE I HAD A RUBBER FUEL LINE CLAMPPED TO THE LINE AS A TEMPERARY FIX. AFTER TALKING TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND A MECHANIC AT TIRE DISCOUNTERS, I WAS TOLD BY BOTH PLACES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. BOTH LOCATIONS SAID THAT THEY GET HHR'S WITH THIS PROBLEM OFTEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE ON A RECALL LIST. THIS SERVICE WAS DONE ON JANUARY 25, 2017 AND THE COST FOR THE FIX WAS $232. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

RUSTED FUEL LINE AT 127,000 MILES WITH GAS LEAKING. I NOTICED A STRONG GAS SMELL FROM THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER AREA WHEN OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED. AFTER RESEARCHING FOUND THIS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE. THE FUEL LINE IS NOT MADE OUT OF STAINLESS STEEL AND THEREFOR RUSTS OUT IN AREAS OF THE COUNTRY THAT USE SALT ON THE ROADS IN WINTER. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. SPOKE WITH GM AND RECEIVED NO COMPENSATION FOR SUB-PAR PARTS USED FOR FUEL LINE ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN MANUFACTURED.

FOR THE LAST MONTH MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN GOING HAYWIRE, ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL MY GAUGES START FLUCTUATING AND ALL SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND AFTER THE CAR IS OFF FOR A WHILE ALL WARNING LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK MY SECURITY LOCK AND ESC WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WHEN I STOP AND START TO GO AGAIN THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. MY TWO REAR WINDOWS NO LONGER WORK, FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND DRIVER DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES ON THIS SITE, YET THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS. WHAT IS GOING ON??

THE FUEL LINES ARE RUSTING AND HAVE BEGUN TO LEAK GASOLINE. LEAK OCCURS WHILE STATIONARY AND WHILE DRIVING

STARTED SMELLING RAW GASOLINE WHEN DRIVING AND STATIONARY... DISCOVERED FUEL LINE LEAKING/SEEPING GAS ON DRIVER SIDE IN FRONT OF REAR TIRE, ABOVE THE HOT EXHAUST. FUEL TANK STRAPS ARE ALSO RUSTED. THIS IS VERY COMMON IN HHR AND COBALT - NEED TO RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IN A CAR FIRE! NOTE: IT CAN BE SEEN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTO - THE DISCOLORATION OF THE METAL IS FROM IT BEING SATURATED IN GASOLINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET HHR. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED; BUT NOT THE EPS INDICATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JENNINGS BEARDSTOWN CHEVROLET, BUICK, GMC (61 PLAZA DR., BEARDSTOWN, IL 62618, (217) 323-2322), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,278.

CAR WHEN STOPPING BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH. AFTER ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WENT OFF DAY LATER. HAD OIL CHANGED THEN THE ABS TRACK LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. MESSAGES: SERVICE TRACKING AND ESC. HAD DIAGNOSED . NO ONE SO FAR HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT PROBLEM. CODE CO550 WAS READ BUT NO SPECIFIC PROBLEM CODE SHOWS UP. THERE IS NO END TO EXPENSE TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. GM HAS ON LINE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH MALIBU AND EQUINOX. BUT NOT 2009 HHR. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO ASSIST FIXING THIS PROBLEM. IF CAR NO FIXED WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. IT COULD COST UPWARDS OF 800 DOLLARS BEFORE IT CAN BE FIGURED OUT. GM SHOUD KNOW THE PROBLEM CAUSE AND HELP OUT. THIS CAR WAS MADE IN MEXICO. COULD THIS BE THE PROBLEM?

SERVICE AIRBAGS DETECTION COMES ON THE DASH BUT IT DOESN'T SAY DRIVERS OR PASSENGER COULD THIS POSSIBLY DEFLATE WHILE DRIVING? DEALERSHIPS SAYS NO RECALL
