MY FAMILY AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON OR AROUND 04/29/12. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN SUDDENLY I LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON WHICH CAUSED ME TO NOSE DIVE AND ROLLOVER SEVERAL TIMES DOWN INTO AN EMBANKMENT, AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, WHICH IS SURPRISIING CONSIDERING HOW SEVERE THIS ACCIDENT WAS. MY VEHICLE WAS CONSIDERED TOTALED BY MY INSURANCE CARRIER AS THE DAMAGES EXCEEDED THE VALUE OF THE CAR. THIS WAS A SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT (NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED) THEREFORE MY CAR INSURANCE CARRIER PLACED THE BLAME ON ME AND THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT WAS NEVER DETERMINED. I CAN HONESTLY SAY WE ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE LIVED THRU THIS ACCIDENT. *TR

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CHEVY HHR WILL LOSE ALL POWER STEERING MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER I TURN OFF MY HHR AND RESTART IT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND THE OTHER MOTORIST DRIVING ON THE ROAD. IT STARTED TO HAPPEN ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND GOES OUT A COUPLE TIMES A DAY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MORE PEOPLE DIE. *TR
