WARNING SIGNAL BEEPS (ALARM) THEN SAYS POWER STEERING ON DASHBOARD. THE POWER STEERING GOES AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. VERY DANGEROUS AS IT IS RANDOM AND HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A TURN. READ MANY, MANY OWNERS OF THIS CAR'S COMPLAINTS YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. *TR

EVER SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS CAR THAT I BOUGHT NEW, THERE HAVE BEEN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS JUST GO OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS BLINK BACK ON , THE LIGHTING BRIGHTNESS SWITCH DOES NOT WORK, THE ROLLER TO MAKE IT BRIGHTER DOES NOT DIM THE DASH LIGHTS, UNTIL THEY ALL JUST GO OFF AGAIN.? THE TIRE SENSORS ALL GO OFF AND THERE IS NO READINGS FOR TIRE PRESSURE. YOU CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE MANUALLY AND THEY ARE ALL OK. THE DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK PROPERLY. IF YOU USE THE KEY FOB, THE DOORS WILL LOCK AND THEN YOU CAN'T GET THEM OPEN AGAIN WITH THE KEY FOB AND YOU ARE STUCK. THE KEY IN THE DOOR WON'T EVEN OPEN THE DOOR, IT IS LOCKED UP TIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY 3 TIMES AND THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG. I JUST DON'T LOCK MY CAR ANYMORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET HHR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOORS INSIDE THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE OPENED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS LOCKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE AUTOMATIC LOCK BUTTON HAD TO BE PRESSED NUMEROUS TIMES IN ORDER TO OPEN THE DOORS. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,663. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BODY AND TRIM WERE DEFECTIVE, DUE TO THE DOOR LOCKS GETTING STUCK HALF WAY AND THE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK, THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE, AS THE RADIO AND CD PLAYER WERE INOPERATIVE, AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START AT TIMES.
