While driving, more specific while turning the powersteering goes out at any given time. It has also done this while switching lanes on the freeway.

While driving the vehicle approximately 45mph, the power steering light came on the dash. While driving straight was not an issue, attempting to pull off the road was difficult. I checked owners manual which told me to take it to a dealer. This in itself was bothersome. I opened the hood and called my mechanic, who told me to check fuses. I replaced the fuse and the vehicle was fine for about 4 weeks, but once again driving 30-35 mph, the light came on the dashboard. I have saved both replaced fuses, I’m wondering after reading other reports whether the fuses are even blown? Either way, this is not a safe situation to be driving any speed without power steering. Mine is a 2007 Chevrolet HHR with approximately 163 k miles

ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IT HAS RAINED WHILE MY CAR SAT OVERNIGHT AND WATER HAS SEEPED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE COMPARTMENT FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX , I HAVE HAD THIS ADDRESSED 3 TIMES AND REPAIRED 3 TIMES AND FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A SMALL FLAP THAT COVERS A HOLE ON THE FIREWALL THAT FAILS OR FALLS OFF MAKING IT SO THAT WATER ENTERS THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT OTHER HHR OWNERS SAY THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY HUSBAND WAS LUCKY TO WALK AWAY FROM THIS ACCIDENT. THE HHR WAS RECALLED FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH LAST YEAR AND WE HAD THE NEW PART INSTALLED 2/2015 WHEN THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVED THE PARTS. WE HAVE TWO ISSUES ELECTRICAL, WHY DID HIS CAR TURN OFF WHEN IT WAS HIT FROM THE REAR? DID THE IMPACT KNOCK THE IGNITION SWITCH OUT OF PLACE? ALSO WHY DIDN'T THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY? NOW I KNOW IF THE CAR IS OFF THE AIRBAGS ARE OFF BUT WHY DID THE CAR GO FROM ON TO COMPLETELY OFF UNLESS IT WAS A FAULTY NEW PART THAT WE RECEIVED IN OUR CAR.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN LATE 2009 WITH APPROXIMATELY 30000 MILES. A COUPLE YEARS INTO OWNERSHIP THE CAR ENGINE BEGAN SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING UNEXPECTEDLY, 4 TIMES DURING LEFT HAND TURNS WHERE WE WERE TURNING INTO PARKING LOTS OR DRIVING OVER A DIP IN THE ROAD. ONCE OVER A POTHOLE. IT'S VERY SCARY , LEFT HAND TURNS ARE DANGEROUS MANEUVERS ANYWAYS , LET ALONE HAVING YOUR CAR STALL WHILE DOING IT. THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED BEFORE WE EVER HEARD OF RECALL. WE RECEIVED THE NOTICES IN THE MAIL , BUT PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND THE DEALER IS CLEARLY OVERWHELMED AND ANNOYED. OUR FIRST CONTACT WAS INCREDIBLY RUDE AND PUT MY HUSBAND ON HOLD FOR TWENTY MINUTES AND THEN BASICALLY SAID DON'T CALL US WE WILL CALL YOU AND HUNG UP ON HIM.. IN MAY THE POWER STEERING ISSUE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TRAVELING 65MPH ON A FREEWAY CURVE DURING HEAVY WINDS . THE CHIME SOUND WAS FOLLOWED BY THE ERROR MESSAGE AND I BECAME VERY AFRAID AND THE CAR WAS VERY HARD TO STEER. I FINALLY GOT TO SHOULDER AFTER COMPLETELY PANICKING BECAUSE I DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED. THE CAR WILL RESUME NORMAL OPERATION AFTER TURNING OFF FOR A PERIOD AND RESTARTING, BUT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME TILL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THE RECALL ON THE STEERING IS NOT BEING COVERED BECAUSE MY MODEL YEAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL EVEN THOUGH GM IS COVERING IT IN OTHER 2007???? MAKES NO SENSE. I'M TOLD THAT THEY ARE EXTENDING LIFETIME WARRANTY TO ORIGINAL OWNER BUT MOST OF THESE MODEL YEARS ARE ALREADY IN RESALE MARKET SO WE ARE EXCLUDED, SO I GUESS THIS WILL FALL ON OUR POCKETS. . I AM VERY ANNOYED AND I REFUSE TO DRIVE MY KIDS AROUND IN THIS DEATH TRAP ANYMORE. I ASKED FOR LOANER FINALLY. I'M DONE WITH THIS THING. *JS

THIS IS IN REGARD TO RECALL # 14V-047. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR, I LOST BATTERY POWER. OVER THE NEXT 6 MONTHE OR SO I LOST THE BATTERY 3 MORE TIMES THE LAST TIME AT A GAS STATION. I GOT A START FROM AAA EMERGENCY SERV- ICE WHO CHECKED TH E ATTERY AND SAID IT WOLD NOT CHARGE.

THE RECALL I HAVE HAD SO FAR WAS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THAT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP OVER ONE MONTH TO REPAIR. AFTER MY CAR WAS REPAIRED AND APPARENTLY REKEYED I AM LOCKED OUT OF MY CAR, THE KEY WILL NOT UNLOCK MY CAR DOOR. I CALLED THE GM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, WITH HOPES OF ASSISTANCE. THEY INFORM ME THEY WILL BE A $59.95 FEE TO UNLOCK MY CAR AND THEY ACCEPT ALL MAJOR CREDIT CARDS. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THIS WAS NOT MY ERROR IT AS A RESULT OF THE IGNITION RECALL THEY STOOD FIRM OF THEIR FEE AND SUGGESTED I CALL THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES. WHEN I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE RECALL I HAD SHARED WITH THEM I WAS HAVING POWER STEERING ISSUES. WHILE I AM DRIVING MY CAR MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND IT BECOMES HARD TO STEER AS WELL THE IS A DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD "POWER STEERING". ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS ON THE STREET, FREEWAY AND WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE. I THEN BECAME AWARE OF A RECALL ON HHR POWER STEERING, HOWEVER THEY SAY IT NOT WITH MY VEHICLE.LATER I READ AN ARTICLE STATING THAT JEFF BOYER WAS OFFERING A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED.GM ALSO SAID 309,160 NON-TURBOCHARGED CHEVROLET HHRS FROM THE 2006-2008 MODEL YEARS MODEL YEAR THAT ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THESE RECALLS WILL BE GIVEN LIFETIME WARRANTIES FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. SO THEN WHEN I CALL THE 800 NUMBER TO FIND OUT HOW I MAY HAVE THIS POWER STEERING ISSUE ADDRESSED WITH MY DISTRICT ADVISOR HE SHARES WITH ME THERE HAS BEEN NO STATEMENT MADE THAT HE IS AWARE OF I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IN THIS VEHICLE AND WITH THE ROUND AROUND AND NON ASSISTANCE I AM GETTING FROM GM I AM NOT SURE I EVER WILL.

AT FIRST IT WAS ONCE IN AWHILE. NOW I CAN DRIVE 30 SECONDS TO 10 MIN AND THE POWER ASSIST GOES OUT. I RESTART AND IT COMES BACK FOR A MOMENT OR SO. ALL THE WAY TO WORK NO POWER STEERING ASSIST. ON THE WAY HOME IT WORKED FINE. I CAN'T FIND ANY PATTERN TO IT. KEY IN THE IGNITION ONLY AS STATED IN THE RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED ABOUT THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT. EVERYTHING ON THE KEY CHAIN IT SEEMS TO WORK MORE OFTEN THAN NOT. I HAVE CONTACTED A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND CHEVY.

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY HHR AND BOUGHT IT USED AT A CHEVROLET DEALER IN WINSLOW, ARIZONA IN 2009. AND I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST 2 YRS. MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WON'T COME OUT AFTER I PARK THE CAR. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM LAST SUMMER AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY JUST TOLD ME HOW TO GET THE KEY OUT. THERE WAS A COVER UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE AUTO GUY SHOWED ME THE LITTLE PIN. HE TOLD ME TO PUSH THE PIN TOWARD THE DRIVER WINDOW AND THIS WILL RELEASE THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND THE KEY WILL THEN RELEASE. IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AND NOW IT OCCURS EVERYTIME I TURN THE CAR OFF AND TRY TO TURN THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION. I'VE READ IT HAS TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE GEAR SHIFT. MY GEAR SHIFT ALSO GETS LOCKED IN THE PARK POSITION. GMC HAS RECALLED THE 2009 CHEVY HHR'S WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. I THINK ALL HHR'S SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED FOR NO CHARGE.. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THE TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING THIS EMAIL... *TR

THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS SEEING WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING YOU CAN GO INTO ANY GEAR AT ANYTIME IF IT IS ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED WHICH CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, THE KEY WOULD NOT REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION. ALSO, THE CAR COULD BE SHIFTED THROUGH THE GEARS WITHOUT PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFTER. THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE GEAR SHIFT CAN BE BUMPED INTO AND OUT OF VARIOUS GEARS. AFTER OPENING THE CENTER CONSOLE, I DISCOVERED THAT THE PLASTIC PLUNGER THAT GOES DOWN THROUGH THE SHIFTER HAD BROKEN, AND IN THE PROCESS ALLOWED THE METAL PIN THAT CLOSES THE CONTACT WITH THE IGNITION TO COME LOOSE. THIS HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 6 - 10 TIMES IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS, WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, TERRY LABONTE CHEVY IN GREENSBORO, NC ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I HAD PROBABLY SPILLED SOME LIQUID. *TR
