2007 CHEVROLET HHR Complaints

MY RIGHT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE FAILED AND BLEW OUT IN 3 PLACES CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO SLAM INTO CONCRETE GUARDRAILS WHILE I WAS ON THE INSIDE CORNER OF THE HIGHWAY AND RAINING. THE TIRE HAD WHAT WAS TOLD AS AN EGG DEVELOP INSIDE THE TIRE BURSTING OUT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH SUBJUGATION TOWARDS GM TO FIND OUT WHY THE TIRED FAILED; JUST THAT THEY REPLACED THE TIRE AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECEIVE PICTURES OF THE TIRE NOR HOW THE TIRE WAS DISPOSED. GM SHOULD HAVE PAID FOR THIS AS IT WAS A FACTORY TIRE THAT FAILED AND COULD HAVE INJURED ME WORSE; EVEN CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT. I HAVE NO POLICE REPORT BUT HAD 3 JSO JACKSONVILLE, FL OFFICERS STOP AND NONE OF THEM HELPED ME WITH THIS MATTER AND NEVER CALLED ANYONE BACK TO HELP ME. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE MORE FIRESTONE TIRES OUT THERE LIKE MINE AND HOLDING GM RESPONSIBLE FOR RESPONDING BACK TO ME AS TO WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH IDENTICAL MODEL. *TR UPDATED 07/25/12 *BF

MY CAR STALLED ON THE TRAIN TRACKS ON 10/05/08. LUCKY IT STARTED RIGHT UP. MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE STALLING WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO TELL GM TO RECALL THE CAR. IF IT WAS JUST MY CAR DOING IT BUT IT IS NOT. LOOK ON AUTOMOTIX, EDMUNDS.COM AND JUST LOOK UP CHEVY HHR CAR STALLING. THEY NEED TO EVALUATE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT GM AND NHSTA DON'T CARE AND NOT TRYING TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO GET A CAR RECALL> *TR

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE STEERING WHEEL AND FRONT END SHAKES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PUT IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES. I BELIEVE THIS FALLS UNDER THE LEMON-LAW. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES AND ITS NOT FIXED!!!!! HOWARD H. HEROLD *TR

STEERING WHEEL ON MY 2007 CHEVY HHR WOULD SHAKE EVERY TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE CAR ONLY HAS 9,200 MILES ON IT. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS PROBLEM WITH A NUMBER OF HHR'S. HE SHAVED THE ROTORS. ROTORS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WHEN THE CAR ONLY HAS 9,000 MILES ON IT. I BELIEVE THE ROTORS ARE DEFECTIVE. SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME HE THINKS THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE STEEL THEY USED IS TOO SOFT. A RECALL IS IN ORDER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. AN INVESTIGATION MUST TAKE PLACE AND AN AUDIT OF HOW MANY HHR'S HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR
