2007 CHEVROLET HHR Complaints

PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE WHEN MY WIFE WAS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY, IT WOULD BE VERY DANGEROUS TO BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR DUE TO THE DOOR HANDLE. *TR

I WAS UNABLE TO UNLATCH MY SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVER SIDE ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ON CONSECUTIVE DAYS. I HAD TO CRAWL OUT OF MY SEAT BELT. LUCKILY I HAD JUST ARRIVED HOME FROM WORK. IT IS VERY UNSAFE FOR ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE MY SEAT BELT, ESPECIALLY IF THERE WERE AN EMERGENCY. I CANNOT RISK HAVING THE SEAT BELT LOCK AGAIN. *TR

WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING BEGAN CUTTING OUT AND THEN WOULD COME BACK ON AFTER RESTARTING, BUT EVENTUALLY FAILED COMPLETELY. THE CAR IS NOW VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AT SLOW SPEEDS OR HARD TURNS. APPARENTLY THIS MODEL HAS A HISTORY WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT GM WILL NOT COVER IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING 65MPH THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PART HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT NOT THE HHR THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE RECALLED OR DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE THE ISSUE IS FIXED. *TR

DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON ME ALMOST CRASHED, ALSO THE EXHAUST JUST STARTED MAKING LOUD NOISE AS WELL. *TR

LOSING POWER STEERING ASSIST AT RANDOM TIMES. OCCURRING 3-4 TIMES DAILY, AT HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS. WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON, POWER STEERING RESETS AND WORKS AGAIN. FUSE IS DAMAGED EACH TIME POWER STEERING IS LOST, AND FUSE IS REPLACED AFTER EACH OCCURRENCE. *TR

POWERS STEERING WENT OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN A TURN. HAS WENT OUT INTERMITTENTLY SINCE FIRST OCCURRENCE. IF INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS, CAN WE ALL FILE A CLASS ACTION SUIT? *TR

THE POWER STEERING IS NOT FUNCTIONING. IT JUST STOPPED WORKING, NOTICED IT WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE. GM HAS DONE RECALLS AN SIMILAR IF NOT THE SAME PROBLEM JUST IN DIFFERENT MODELS COBLAT AND G5 OR G6. *TR
