I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET HHR THAT HAS THE IDENTICAL POWER STEERING SYSTEM AS THE COBALT THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED, HOWEVER GM HAS NOT RECALLED THE HHR FOR SOME REASON. I AM NOW HAVING THE IDENTICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY CHEVY HHR POWER STEERING AS REPORTED WITH THE COBALT. IN THE PAST FEW DAYS THE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED 6 TIMES, INCLUDING ONCE ON A HIGHWAY, TRAVELING 55 MILES AN HOUR BETWEEN SEMIS. IT WAS QUITE SCARY. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THAT THEY CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND IT WAS THERE AT THE JIFFY LUBE THAT I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAR DID NOT TAKE POWER STEERING FLUID AND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME CHEVYS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT THE HHR BUT I SEE FROM SEARCHING THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE LIKE ME POSTING BLOGS AND COMMENTS ABOUT THEIR PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 CHEVROLET HHR IN MAY OF 2009. THE VEHICLE HAS OVERHEATED 4 TIMES IN A YEAR. THE RADIATOR AND CYLINDER HEADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND I CAN NOT BE GUARANTEED THAT IS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE ADMITTED IT IS AN UNSEEN SITUATION, BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET HHR. THE CONTACT STATED SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, ALL FIVE DOORS AND LATCHES WOULD NOT REMAIN CLOSED. AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF AT LEAST 55 MPH, THE DOOR WOULD INDEPENDENTLY SWING OPEN. ON ONE OCCASION, WHILE TRAVELING WITH A CHILD PASSENGER IN A CHILD RESTRAINT, THE DOOR CLOSEST TO THE CHILD INDEPENDENTLY SWUNG OPEN. THE CONTACT STATED SHE WOULD HAVE TO USE A ROPE TO HOLD THE DOORS CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS OR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS UNKNOWN.

TOP HALF OF MANUAL SHIFTER KNOB CAME OFF WHILE SHIFTING GEARS FROM 2ND TO 3RD. *TR

CHEVROLET HHR IS NOT LISTED ON THIS SITE! PLEASE UPDATE YOUR VEHICLE LISTING. MY 2008 CHEVROLET HHR IS HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS, IT CONTAINS THE SAME POWER STEERING PUMP AS THE CHEVY COBALT WHICH WAS RECALLED YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE CHEVY HHR. SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE COBALT. POWER STEERING FAILURE MESSAGE ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION DISPLAY. PLEASE HELP. CHEVROLET IS TAKING THE CHEAP WAY OUT AND PUTTING LIVES AT RISK. *TR

BRAKE ROTORS WARPED AND THE CAR WOULD SHAKE WITH SUCH A SEVERE FORCE CONTROLLING THE CAR WAS VERY HARD. AFTER THE DEALER REPLACED FOUR SETS, BEFORE THE CAR HAD 50,000 MILES ON IT, THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT AND THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN. JUST BEFORE THE LAST ROTORS WERE, REPLACED THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WOULD CEASE WORKING AND EFFECTIVELY HINDER OUR ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR. THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING IS STILL A PROBLEM DAILY AT DIFFERENT TIMES. I AM GOING TO CHECK INTO THE REPAIR PROCESS SOON. I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE ROTORS WARPING AND SHAKING THE FRONT END EQUIPMENT OF THE HHR. IN CLOSING, I REPLACED THE PADS AND THEY WERE NOT WORN OUT. I KEPT THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. *TR
