2007 CHEVROLET HHR Complaints

POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GOES OUT RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET HHR. IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD FLOOD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

CAR EXHIBITS STRONG SMELL OF RAW GASOLINE. DRIPPING FUEL WAS NOTICED IN FRONT OF DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE. DEALERSHIP REPORTS RUSTED FUEL LINE. REPAIR REQUIRES ORDERING PARTS AND MINIMUM OF $720 TO REPAIR.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. CHIME SOUNDED, "POWER STEERING" APPEARED IN THE DIC. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING WAS FINE. ACCORDING TO ALL THE RESEARCH I DID TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS TYPICAL OF A DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING MOTOR AND IS COMMON TO THIS MODEL WHICH HAS YET TO BE RECALLED.

ON NOV 7, 2015, MY FAMILY RETURNED TO OUR CAR AFTER EATING, WHEN MY HUSBAND STARTED THE CAR HE COMMENTED ON HOW HARD IT WAS TO STEER, THEN THE WARNING LIGHT FOR POWER STEERING CAME ON. HE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE STEERING WAS FINE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING..WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE??? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TO USE THIS CAR DAILY TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH FROM WORK AND ACCORDING TO THE OTHER REPORTS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT ANY TIME. THERE IS NO WAY I COULD CONTROL THIS CAR AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT POWER STEERING.

I PAID 947 DOLLARS TO FIX THE POWER STEERING MODULE WHEN IT WENT OUT ON OCT 8, 2015. I TOOK CAR TO GET FIXED AT SISBARRO IN LAS CRUCES, NM. LIKE I SAID I PAID 947 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. NOW TODAY I STOPPED TO SAY HELLO TO ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS AND WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT TODAY OCTOBER THE 31, 2015. IT'S GOOD THING MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR SHE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. SO AGAIN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO SISBARRO IN LAS CRUCES, NM. I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT KIND OF EXCUSE THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE ME THIS TIME AND PROBABLY CHARGE ME ANOTHER 947 DOLLAR AGAIN.

VEHICLE KEEPS BLOWING POWER STEERING FUSE. DID NOT OCCUR UNTIL AFTER I HAVE IGNITION RECALL WORK PREFORMED. I AM SMELLING IN THE CABIN LIKE HOT WIRING SMELL.

I WAS DRIVING LAST WEEK AND I SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I HAD TO PULL OVER (AS I WAS ON A SIDE STREET) AND PUT ON MY 4 WAY FLASHERS SHUT OFF MY CAR AND THEN START IT. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR I SUDDENLY HAD MY POWER STEERING BACK. JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I WAS ONCE AGAIN DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF THE HIGHWAY) AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS SOME TIME OF DEFECT WITH THE POWER STEERING. EVER SINCE I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL FIXED, I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS.
