DURING DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. ONCE CAR IS PULLED OVER INTO PARKING LOT SHUT OFF THEN RESTARTED IT WORKS FINE FOR 12 SECONDS TO SEVERAL MINUTES. IT WILL GO A COUPLE OF DAYS WITHOUT PROBLEM THEN IT WILL HAVE THE PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL DAYS. ON 4/23/14 IT WENT OUT ON A S TURN ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. I HAD A FRIEND WITH ME AT THE TIME. GM HAS BULLETIN 14119 STATING IT WILL REPLACE POWER STEERING FOR LIFE OF VEHICLE BUT DEALERSHIP STATES IT IS NOT RECALLED AND WILL DO NOTHING. I HAVE VIDEO OF IT DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL FOR THE 2009 AND 2010 MODEL. DOES ONE OF MY CHILDREN OR FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE TO DIE FROM THIS PROBLEM BEFORE GM WILL FIX IT? THE INTERNET IS FULL OF THE SAME PROBLEM FROM PLENTY OF OWNERS OF THE 2007 HHR. *TR

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE EVERY SINCE I GOT IT. NOW WITH ME READING THESE RECALLS COME TO FIND OUT THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AT ALL. WHEN I GET TO 60MPH MY CAR SHAKES.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND MY STEERING WHEEL GOT VERY HARD TO STEER. I HEARD A DING AND LOOKED DOWN TO SEE POWER STEERING. I THINK GM SHOULD RECALL THESE, IF IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AS IT WAS IN THE SATURN. I HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AT EVERY STOP SIGN BECAUSE MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES A DAY, THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET FIXED. I LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAY CHECK AND I'M VERY UPSET THAT CHEVY PUT A PRODUCT OUT ON THE MARKET WITH DEFECTS LIKE THIS. MAKES ME QUESTION ABOUT MY NEXT PURCHASE. VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER. *TR
