TOTALED MY 2010 HHR IN 2014 AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.

KNOW PROBLEM ON CONNECTORS TO AIR BAGS GIVES 2 CODES B0019-0D AND B0010-04 STATES THAT THIS KNOW PROBLEM CAN STOP DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAGS. UPON LOOKING PROBLEM UP THIS IS VERY COMMON ON THIS CAR AND THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS OF IT. THIS IS SAFETY AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON CAUSING THE AIRBAG NOT ABLE TO OPERATE. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL IT DID HAVE ISSUES WITH THE WIRING STATING IT WAS CORRODED. IT COST A LOT OF MONEY TO HAVE THESE DEFECTS CORRECTED AND WAS TOLD NO SUCH RECALLS EXIST ON THE AIRBAG.

I ASKED FOR A WARRANTY REPAIR ON MY AIRBAG. THE DEALER GOT THE PART AND SENT IT BACK ON 7-13-12. THEY NEVER CALLED, EMAILED OR WROTE ME A LETTER. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED. . RECENTLY. GM RECALLED MY KEYS, I ASKED ABOUT MY AIRBAGS. FOR THE FIRST TIME, ON 9-12-14, [XXX] WAS THE ONLY SERVICE EMPLOYEE WHO TOLD ME THE PART IS NOT AT THE DEALER AND IT WAS SENT BACK 2 YEARS AGO AND IF I WANTED IT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ALMOST 400.00 FOR IT. I HAD DETRIMENTALLY RELIED ON THE REPRESENTATIONS OF AT LEAST 13 DIFFERENT CONTACTS WITH SERVICE PEOPLE, OVER THIS PERIOD OF TIME, WITH THIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO HONOR THE REPAIR. [XXX] COPIED THE SERVICE WORK ORDER SHEET AND GAVE ME A COPY OF IT. THERE WAS NO MENTION OR NOTATION OF A PHONE CALL EVER BEEN MADE, ON IT. [XXX] AND [XXX] , SERVICE MANAGERS AT JAMES MARTIN CHEVROLET 6250 WOODWARD AVE. DETROIT, MICHIGAN 48202, REFUSE TO HONOR THE AIRBAG REPAIR ALTHOUGH THEY ARE REPAIRING OTHER MODEL AIRBAGS DAILY ON A OPEN SAFETY RECALL FROM THE NSTB. GENERAL MOTORS REPRESENTATIVE [XXX] AT 1-866-790-5600 EXTENSION [XXX] REFUSES TO HONOR THE REPAIR ALTHOUGH HE HAS OPEN RECALLS ON OTHER MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. SINCE GENERAL MOTORS HAS A HISTORY OF EXPLODING AIRBAGS CAUSING CRASHES AND SEVERAL OPEN RECALLS ON SEVERAL MODELS, I AM CERTAIN THAT THIS ONE (2010 HHR) SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST FOR SAFETY CONCERNS. ALSO, THE RUNNING LIGHTS HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE TOO, ON ALMOST ALL MODELS THE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS AND REGULAR LIGHTS HAVE THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT OUT. THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE, IT IS A KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT AND ALL GM PRODUCTS FROM 2010 FORWARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AS THE LIGHTS CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. IN SUMMATION, I WANT THE 2010 HHR RECALLED FOR THEIR RIGHT HEADLIGHTS AND THEIR AIRBAGS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO AN APPOINTMENT, WHEN MY POWER STEERING FLASHED ON THE DASH SCREEN AND MY STEERING WHEEL WENT FROM FLUID TO STIFF. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, THE STEERING WAS FLUID AGAIN, BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAD CAME ON AS WELL AS THE ABS AND TRACTION. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FLUID ONLY FOR A FEW MINUETS, AND THEN AFTER MAKING A FEW TURNS, I LOST THE STEERING ONCE AGAIN. I HAVE LEARNED OF A RECALL ON THE HHR'S POWER STEERING AND STARTER. I WILL GO TO THE DEALER AND ASK THEM WHAT THEY CAN DO. I AM FILING THIS SO IT IS NOTED IN THE RECORDS OF THE HAPPENINGS. *TR

NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED; I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT TAKES SO LONG TO REMEDY THE RECALL(S) ON MY VEHICLE; THE FIRST NOTICE WAS RECEIVED DATED APRIL 2014 FROM GM REGARDING THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE NEXT RECALL LETTER WAS RECEIVED ON MAY 11, 2014 AND I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL GM (CECIL CLARKE CHEVROLET) IN LEESBURG, FLORIDA TO BE PUT ON THE 'LIST' FOR THE REQUIRED PARTS/REPLACEMENTS. ON JUNE 17TH, I CALLED CECIL CLARK AGAIN AND WAS ADVISED THAT ALTHOUGH THEY WERE RECEIVING 4 - 5 REPLACEMENT KITS A DAY, MINE HAD NOT COME IN YET. NOW I HAVE A SAFETY RECALL FOR JUNE REFERENCE THE EPS AND THAT PARTS ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. I HAVE DONE WHAT I NEED TO DO, I DRIVE ONLY WHEN I HAVE TO NOW, AND ALTHOUGH I FOLLOW THE SAFETY RULES REFERENCE REMOVING ALL ITEMS FROM THE IGNITION KEY, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING ANYMORE. PLEASE CAN YOU FIND OUT WHY IT TAKES SO LONG TO GET PARTS FOR A VERY SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. I THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. *JS

MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER 3 SAFETY RECALLS WITH GM. WHEN I CONTACTED GM TO INQUIRE ABOUT A POSSIBLE LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL IT CAN BE REPAIRED, I WAS TOLD THE DEALERSHIPS WERE AUTHORIZED TO PROVIDE LOANER VEHICLES. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE ONLY PROVIDING LOANER VEHICLES FOR THOSE WHOSE CARS WERE INOPERABLE. WHEN I CONTACTED GM FOR CLARIFICATION ON THIS, THEY STATED THAT LOANER VEHICLES ARE AVAILABLE FOR THOSE CARS UNDER SAFETY RECALLS, OF WHICH MY CAR IS INCLUDED, AND SENT ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP STILL REFUSES TO PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE AND GM IS NOT ASSISTING, JUST SENDING ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS CAR IS UNDER RECALLS IN WHICH THERE WERE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND DEATHS INVOLVED. THERE IS NO WAY I AM DRIVING THIS CAR. CAN YOU HELP WITH THIS SITUATION? *TR

GREETINGS NHTSA, I AM WRITING TO DOCUMENT SOME THINGS ABOUT OUR 2010 CHEVROLET HHR. YES, IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL, BUT I NEED FOR YOU TO BE INFORM OF SOME THINGS, THAT I PRAY CAN HELP SOMEONE ELSE: 1. POWER ISSUES: THE POWER WOULD ACT SO CRAZY THAT WE NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF. EXP. THIS PAST WINTER, THE BLOWER MOTOR WOULD BLOW COLD AIR, WHILE IT WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE! OR IT WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL, THEN, THE BLOWER HEATER WOULD COME ON, JUST BY TURNING THE IGNITION ON. . AND IT WOULD BLOW HOT AIR. AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF, UNLESS THE KEY WAS OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE DASH WOULD GET VERY HOT, SHOWING A POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE. APPARENTLY, EACH TIME A FUSE HAD BLOWN OUT. WE WOULD REPLACE IT AND IN THREE WEEKS IT WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. SOMETHING ELECTRICAL MUST OF BEEN GOING ON. THERE WAS ALSO, POWER STEERING CONCERNS. 2. WE TOOK IT IN TO SERRA CHEVROLET IN SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACE. WE WERE GIVEN A RENTAL, AND IT TOOK OVER THREE WEEKS FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE. WE WERE HOPING THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD GO AWAY, ONCE REPLACED. 3. ON JUNE 4TH, 2014-THE PARTS CAME IN.. 4. ON THURSDAY, JUNE 5TH, 2014, THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THE NEXT DAY, JUNE 6TH, 2014, THE BLOWER MOTOR WENT CRAZY AGAIN, AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. ( WITH ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH THE CAR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT NEVER CAME ON UNTIL THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH WAS INSTALLED. 5. AFRAID OF AN AIRBAG DISASTER TODAY, JUNE 9TH, 2014, MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR BACK TO SERRA CHEVROLET IN SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN. THEY ARE SO BACKED UP, WITH CARS. THEY CANNOT EVEN LOOK AT IT UNTIL TOMORROW. MY HUSBAND WAS DROPPED OFF, NO RENTAL NO LOANER! AND NOW WE ARE WITHOUT A CAR, THANK YOU.

I OWN A 2010 CHEVROLET HHR. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH IN THE FAST LANE ON I-75N. THE POWER STEERING SENSOR LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED MAKING THE STEERING WHEEL STIFF AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE. I WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO SAFELY ACROSS 3 LANES TO OFF RAMP, LUCKILY IMMEDIATELY TO THE RIGHT WAS ABLE TO GLIDE INTO A PARKING LOT. PARKED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IGNITION OFF, CHECKED ALL FLUIDS UNDER HOOD, READ MANUAL AND ADVISED TO TAKE KEYS OUT AND RESTART. SO I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS NORMAL, THE WARNING SIGNAL WAS GONE AND WHEEL WAS MOVING. I REPORTED THIS TO GM IMMEDIATELY AND HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY DO NOT SEEM TO BE ACTING AS IF THIS IS URGENT. THEY HAVE STALLED 2 DAYS NOW WITHOUT DIAGNOSING, THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE AND THEREFORE I HAVE NO CHOICE THEN TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, KNOWING THE SEVERE THREAT IT HAS TO MYSELF AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I TAKE IT IN FOR AN ISSUE ATLEAST EVERY OTHER MONTH. ALSO SINCE STEERING ISSUE HAVE HAD THE "AIR BAG SERVICE" LIGHT HAS COME ON SEVERAL TIMES. WILL HAVE DEALERSHIP CHECK THIS MALFUNCTION OUT TOO. I THINK THIS MEANS IF MY STEERING GOES OUT AND I CRASH, THEN I WILL NOT HAVE AN AIRBAG TO SAVE ME.. I CALL THIS CAR "CHRISTINE"!! I AM VERY UPSET THAT GM AND THE DEALERSHIP DO NOT HANDLE THIS MALFUNCTION MORE SERIOUSLY. DEATH TRAP! *TR
