2007 CHEVROLET HHR Complaints

STARTED CAR IN PARKING LOT AND PLACED CAR IN REVERSE. AFTER A FEW FEET, THERE WAS A WARNING CHIME AND THE DISPLAY SAID "POWER STEERING." SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CAR ONLY HAD MANUAL STEERING AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE MOTOR HAD FAILED. IT IS NOTED THAT INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET INDICATED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR ISSUES ARE KNOWN AND THAT SOME MODELS WITH THE SAME MOTOR (COBALTS, FOR EXAMPLE) HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IT IS ALSO NOTED THAT THE MOTORS HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON THE HHR IN CANADA. IN ADDITION, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT DURING APRIL 2014, CHEVROLET ANNOUNCED A PLANNED RECALL FOR THE UNITED STATES - BUT DURING MAY 2014 THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO NOTICE OF THIS. *TR

I HAD MY MY CHILDREN UP FROM SCHOOL WHILE DRIVING I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I HAD HEARD I CHIME RITE BEFORE AND NOTICED IT DISPLAYED POWER STEERING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I DID FIND OUT THAT BY SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING IT TEMPORARILY FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A BLOCK OR SO. THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO BE SERVICED THIS WEEK. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED WHEN THE 2009 AND 2010 MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND BEING RECALLED OURS SHOULD BE RECALLED ALSO. *TR

CHANGING LANES IN THE HIGHWAY ,IT WAS CRAZY,SCARY .I EMAILED CHEVY DIRECTLY THAN IT STOPPED SUDDENLY, THAN A YEAR LATER TWICE,THAN STOPPED,NOW AGAIN IT'S DOING IT. I WISH I COULD GET ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT CAN'T AFFORD IT.............. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2007 CHEVROLET HHR. THE POWER STEERING IS NOT WORKING ANYMORE AND THIS IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE 2009 AND 2010 GM VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME REASON, BUT MY CAR HAS NOT. I FOUND THIS ON THE GM WEBSITE.

I WAS ON THE HWY AND WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO EXIT AT 65 MPH I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL BUT JUST A VERY LITTLE I WAS BARELY ABLE TO HIT THE EXIT RAMP, THE POWER STEERING CONTINUED TO BE OUT UNTIL I RESTARTED THE CAR. *TR

VEHICLE WAS SITTING WHILE RUNNING MY HUSBANDS KNEE BUMPED THE KEY FOB AND THE IGNITION SWITCHED TO OFF. I CHECKED AND FOUND THERE IS VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE TO THE KEY TURNING OFF. *TR
