2007 CHEVROLET HHR Complaints

I WAS DRIVING INTO A PARKIN GLOT AND MY STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING AND I COULD NOT HARDLY GET IT IN THE PARKIN GLOT. I SAT FOR A WHILE AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WORKED TO GET ME HOME. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT I SAW A STEERING PROBLEM BACK WHEN I HAD MY IGNITION RECALL FIXED. I NOW CANNOT FIND THAT.

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY HHR LS THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2006. MY WIFE AND I ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S AND IT IS WHAT I DRIVE TO WORK DAILY. MY HHR CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000 MILES ON IT. I NORMALLY GET 29 TO 30 MPG ON AVERAGE, BUT OVER THE PAST MONTH I HAVE ONLY AVERAGED 26 TO 27 MPG. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, ON JANUARY 18TH OF 2017, I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR, WHERE UPON I NOTICED GAS DRIPPING FROM THE FUEL LINE NEAR THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE, JUST PAST THE FUEL LINE MOUNT, AND THE LINE LOOKS CORRODED. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND I HAVE IT SCHEDULED TO GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. FROM EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE READ THUS FAR, I AM CONFIDENT THAT I HAVE A RUSTED AN LEAKING GAS LINE. I BELIEVE GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THAT IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND THEY ARE JUST IGNORING IT HOPING IT GOES AWAY. *TR

THE POWER STEERING FAILED UNDER LOW SPEED DRIVING. LEAVING ONE LOCATION, THE 'POWER STEERING' LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON, STEERING BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. CHECK FUSES , NONE SEEMED AT FAULT. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING, THE 'POWER STEERING" WARNING GOES OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS, POWER STEERING WORKS NORMAL; HOWEVER, THE ISSUE RETURNS A FEW SECONDS LATER.

THE POWER STEERING QUITS WORKING WHILE YOUR DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. IT'S RANDOM SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
