2010 CHEVROLET HHR Electrical System Problems

Loss of power while driving 35mph and service traction light along with airbags light keeps showing at random times

Noticed that the cruise control would disengage randomly when activated. I checked the function of the brake lights at night and found that the brake lights would turn themselves on randomly with zero brake input, disengaging the cruise control. In this state, depressing the brake pedal more than around 30-40% would turn the brake lights off, even with the brake pedal fully pressed. Furthermore, with the brake pedal pressed to a moderate level, the cruise control is able to be engaged, even with obvious brake pressure being applied. This defeats the cruise control disengagement feature and the cruise control system will fight against the braking system to maintain speed instead of turning itself off as it seems to rely solely on the brake lights for the automatic disengagement. This issue is quite dangerous as this seems to happen quite often with the brake lights, but I cannot find any sort of consistent scenario that causes these issues to occur.

Power steering goes out while driving

OUR CHEVY HHR 2010 HAS BEEN DYING AND STALLING OUT ON US WHILE WE ARE DRIVING IT, THE ONLY TIME IT HAD POWER GOING TO IT WAS WHEN IT WAS BEING JUMPED. EVEN THEN SOON AS THE CABLES WERE UNHOOKED IT WOULD JERK THEN DIE RIGHT AWAY. IT SEEMED AS IF MOST OF THE LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUTSIDED OF THE TRUCK ONLY WOULD FLASH WHILE JUMPING IT, THEN NOTHING. IT WAS ALSO VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, AND EVERYTHING BASICALLY SEEMS LIKE IT'S MALFUNCTIONING. THIS HAS BEEN ON AND OFF FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, NOR CAN I EVEN START IT AT THIS POINT,BUT I DEFINITELY DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW BEING THAT IT POWERS COMPLETELY OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. IT WAS IN MOTION A FEW TIMES ON CITY STREETS, AND IN MOTION TURNING WHEN IT DIED FOR THIS LAST TIME. ITS NOW PARKED ON A STREET UNABLE TO DRIVE IT. *TR

ON GOING ISSUE OF BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY COMING ON WITHOUT TOUCHING BRAKE PEDAL. FIRST NOTICED SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T ACTIVATE. FOUND PROBLEM AT NIGHT WHEN I COULD SEE THE GLOW FROM MY BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE TOP INSIDE EDGE OF MY REAR HATCH. REPLACING BRAKE SWITCH ABOVE PEDAL DID NOT FIX PROBLEM. SOUNDS KIND OF FUNNY, BUT I GOT BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OFF WHILE SETTING IN DRIVEWAY AND POUNDING MY CENTER CONSOLE OUT OF FRUSTRATION. INTERNET SEARCH FOUND OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND FRUSTRATED OWNERS THAT TOOK VEHICLES TO DEALERSHIPS THAT DIDN'T FIX THEIR PROBLEM. ISSUE APPEARS TO BE CIRCUIT BOARD RELATED WITH CIRCUIT BOARDS LOCATED ON PASSENGER SIDE LOWER CENTER CONSOLE. A SHARP RAP WITH THE PALM OF MY HAND IN THAT AREA WILL ALWAYS GET THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO GO OFF WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ON. DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN, BUT SEEMS CRAZY TO HAVE TO KEEP CHECKING TO SEE IF MY CRUISE WILL SET SO I KNOW IF MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THIS PROBLEM, THOUGH AS I STATED EARLIER, INTERNET SEARCH WILL FIND OTHER GM OWNERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUE OF BRAKE LIGHTS ON WITHOUT TOUCHING BRAKE PEDAL. HAVE HAD ISSUE SETTING STILL OR MOVING. HAVE HAD CRUISE KICK OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CHEVY HHR, I HAD JUST EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ENTERING THE SPEEDWAY FUEL STATION, MY STEERING JUST SEEMED TO LOCKUP ON ME AND A DASH ALERT FLASHED "SERVICE ESC" THEN I SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER! IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY MAJOR TRAGEDY LIKE COLLIDING WITH A GAS PUMP OR ANOTHER VEHICLE, I WAS ABLE TO RUN IT INTO THE CURB I FELT LIKE MY ARMS WERE NEARLY RIPPED FROM THE SOCKETS. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO MY HOME AND THE FOLLOWING DAY TOWED TO A MECHANIC. DISCOVERED THAT THE EXPERIENCE WAS NOT EXCLUSIVELY MINE, APPARENTLY SOME 444 OTHERS HAD AS WELL. I CHECKED FOR RECALL NOTICES WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALLS WERE CLOSED AND REPAIRS WERE DONE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW BY WHOM, WHEN AND WHERE EXACTLY! IT OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT DONE PERMANENTLY NOR SATISFACTORILY AS I'M VERY SORE NOW, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!

1) THE TURN SIGNALS HAVE FAILED TO CANCEL AFTER A TURN ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. 2) RECENTLY, THE TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT HOLD IN THE ON POSITION ON A LEFT TURN AND HAS TO BE MANUALLY HELD DOWN TO ACTUATE THE SIGNAL FOR THE ENTIRE TURN. 3) AT THE SAME TIME, THE RIGHT SIGNAL WILL NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY CANCEL AND HAS TO BE MANUALLY TURNED OFF AFTER A TURN. THESE ARE ISSUES BECAUSE YOU EITHER HAVE THE TURN SIGNAL NOT ON DURING A CROSS TRAFFIC TURN WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS ENGAGED, OR YOU HAVE IT ON WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT HAD AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF.

THIS VEHICLES SAFETY CHIMES CAN SHUT OFF CAUSING OWNER TO BE LOCKED OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH KEYS STILL IN IGNITION. THIS OCCURS WHEN PARKED AND TURNED OFF OR WHEN PARKED AND ENGINE RUNNING. SMALL OCCUPANTS AS INFANTS CHILDREN AND PETS COULD BE TRAPPED IN A FREEZING OR HOT CAR. THIS VEHICLE HAS NO INTERIOR HATCHBACK DOOR OPENER AND CAN ESSENTIALLY PIN OCCUPANTS IN A ACCIDENT INTO THE VEHICLE IF FORWARD DOORS ARE DAMAGED DURING ACCIDENT. THE ONLY ESCAPE COMES FROM REMOVING PLASTIC HOUSING AND USING A SCREWDRIVER TO A HIDDEN LATCH INSIDE THE DOOR HOUSING.

POWER WINDOWS: UNABLE TO ROLL DOWN ANY WINDOW EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE USING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL. THIS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DOOR HANDLES BREAKING OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD, MAKES IT A SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD I NEED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE WINDOWS. I AM ABLE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS UP WHEN USING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL BUTTON, JUST UNABLE TO ROLL THEM DOWN. THIS STARTED OUT WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW NOT WORKING, THEN WENT TO THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AND NOW THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW CAN ONLY BE LOWERED BY LOCKING THEN UNLOCKING THE WINDOW AND APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE WINDOW SWITCH AT AN ANGLE. IF I NEEDED TO GET MY SERVICE DOG OUT OF THE BACK SEAT AND WAS UNABLE TO USE THE DOOR, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LOWER THE WINDOW WITHOUT EFFORT. THIS PUTS HER LIFE OR THE LIFE OF A HUMAN WHO MAY BE PRESENT IN THE BACK SEAT AT SERIOUS RISK. THIS SLOWLY STARTED A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND HAS ESCALATED. THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, RIVERSIDE CHEVY IN ROME, GEORGIA, IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THE COST IS TOO MUCH FOR MY DISABILITY INCOME TO COVER.

*THIS AN UPDATE ON FILE NUMBER-# 10672324-2010 CHEVROLET HHR-SHIFTER PROBLEM ON MY LAST FILING I STATED THAT WE HAD ANOTHER RECALL ON OUR 2010 CHEVROLET HHR. PREVIOUS RECALLS WERE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM. BUT I FOUND OUT THAT THE KEY GETTING STUCK WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK, IS NOT A OFFICIAL "RECALL ,BUT IT SHOULD BE! WE RECEIVED A LETTER WARNING US OF THE PROBLEM AND IF IT OCCURRED, GM WOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. WELL, AS I REPORTED , IT DID HAPPENED. MY HUSBAND PARKED THE CAR, AND WE WERE PREPARING TO GO TO HIS DOCTOR"S' APPT. & TO AN EVENING SERVICE & THE KEY GOT STUCK. NO POWER, NO NOTHING, WE TRIED EVERYTHING. AND THAT THING THAT THE MANUAL SAID WOULD HELP US RELEASE THE KEY, WAS NOT THERE. SO THE CAR, SAT THERE DRAINING THE BATTERY. DR. APPT'S WERE MISSED. AND BECAUSE WE BOTH HAD APPT'S COMING UP, WE HAD TO RENT A CAR. BUT TO SUM IT ALL UP. WHEN THE TOLL DRIVER CAME, HE WAS ABLE TO JUMP THE CAR, AND THE KEY CAME OUT. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT THE BATTERY WAS GONE. BUT IT WAS FINE BEFORE THE KEY GOT STUCK. THEY REFUSED TO CHANGE THE SHIFTER. WE GOT A NEW BATTERY, AND ARE PRAYING THAT WE WON'T GET STRANDED IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. AND WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR OURSELVES AND FOR OTHERS! NO REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE BATTERY OR THE RENTAL. WE HAVE MADE OUR COMPLAINTS TO THE MANAGEMENT AT THE DEALER & TO GM. AND ONE MORE THING, OUR FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE BEFORE PARKING THE CAR, WAS THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. AN ISSUE ALSO AFTER THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH WAS PUT IN. THIS IS A RECALL ITEM. BUT ONCE AGAIN, GM CARES MORE ABOUT SAVING A DIME. NOT LIVES. NOT A SAFETY ISSUE?

THIS A RECALLED 2010 CHEVROLET HHR. WE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALLED, POWER STEERING SYSTEM RECALLED, AND RIGHT AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS INSTALLED, THE KEYS STOP WORKING AND WE HAD TO GET TOWED. NOW, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. AND WHEN WE WENT TO RE-START THE CAR, NOTHING. THE POWER WENT TOTALLY OUT, AND THE KEY IS STILL STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. ABOUT A FEW WEEKS AGO, WE GOT ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FROM GM THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER MAY NOT PROPERLY TRANSMIT AN ELECTRICAL SIGNAL PROPERLY THAT WILL CAUSE THE KEY TO STAY IN A LOCK POSITION. WE ARE NOW STRANDED. AND WE HAVE TO ONCE AGAIN GET THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND PAY FOR A RENTAL. AND THERE ARE STILL SO MANY RECALLED CARS AT THE DEALER THAT THEY ARE SO BEHIND. ALL OF THIS IS GOING ON WHILE GM IS SHOWING OFF THEIR NEW CARS AT THE DETROIT AUTO SHOW. CARS THAT WILL PROBABLY SOON BE ON ANOTHER RECALL LIST. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!! ALL CHEVY HHR OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD MORE THE ONE RECALL ON IT, SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO TURN THE CAR IN WITHOUT PENALTY OR CHARGE. ALL CAR NOTES SHOULD BE CANCELLED!-THANK YOU.

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

ON SUNDAY, MARCH 31ST, 2013, MY VEHICLE WAS LOCKED IN THE RUNNING POSITION AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO RUN UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO CONTACT A LOCAL CAR EXPERT WHO WAS ABLE TO PULL THE FUEL PUMP FUSE TO GET THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING. THE NEXT DAY, THIS SAME PERSON TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HIS SHOP AND REPLACED THE "IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER" PER A "SILENT" GM RECALL. SOON AFTER THIS INCIDENT, I BEGAN HEARING ABOUT A GM RECALL ON THE "IGNITION SWITCH". I WAS THEN SENT A LETTER FROM GM TO THAT EFFECT. THE LETTER ALSO STATED THAT I COULD BE REIMBURSED FOR WORK DONE IF I HAD REPAIRS MADE ON MY OWN. WHEN I APPLIED FOR A REFUND FOR THE LABOR COST THAT I INCURRED, I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE TEAM CHEVY OF VALPARAISO, IN DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THAT I WOULD NOT BE COMPENSATED FOR BY EXPENSES BECAUSE THE CURRENT RECALL WAS FOR THE "IGNITION SWITCH" AND NOT THE "LOCK CYLINDER". I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE OTHER PART WAS ALSO A PART OF A PREVIOUS RECALL; HOWEVER, THE REP REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE WITH THE "LOCK CYLINDER". AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS SAME "LOCKING IN THE RUN POSITION ISSUE". FOR THIS REASON, AND THE FACT THAT GM IS ONCE AGAIN SLOW TO ACKNOWLEDGE A DANGEROUS DEFECT IN A VEHICLE WITH A HISTORY OF DANGEROUS DEFECTS, I AM WRITING TO FILE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT. AT THIS POINT, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. I CURRENTLY HAVE TWO RECALLS OUT ON MY CAR AND HAVE ALREADY REPLACED BY POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR AFTER IT FAILED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEFT HAND TURN. THERE ARE A SERIES OF MAJOR FLAWS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS AND MAKE THIS RIGHT. I WOULD ALSO HOPE THAT THE NHTSA CAN INFLUENCE GM TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL TO COVER ALL IGNITION RELATED PROBLEMS. *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

ONCE HOME, AFTER BEING TOWED, OUR SON, SUGGESTED TRYING THE OTHER KEY. AND IT WORKED. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE BRAND NEW KEYS. WE ARE HERE, WONDERING, WHEN WILL THE SECOND KEY GO OUT, STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING ETC.!!! 3. WE NEED TO TAKE THE CAR IN. BUT WE WERE TOLD THAT BECAUSE WE JUST GOT A NOTICE ABOUT THE POWER STEERING, THAT IT'S BEST TO WAIT UNTIL WE BRING THAT IN FOR THAT. BUT..ONCE AGAIN, THE PARTS ARE NOT IN!!!!!

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.

MY VEHICLE IS ON GMS RECALL LIST BECAUSE OF AN IGNITION PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SMALL HILL ON FRIDAY MAY 2, 2014, WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NOTHING ON MY IGNITION KEY RING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND HAD JUST MY KEY IN THE IGNITION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED GM AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED THEY OFFERED TO GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR THAT THEY WILL PAY FOR UNTIL MY CAR IS FIXED . MY CONCERN IS THAT THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD TO NOT ONLY THE PERSON DRIVING THESE CARS BUT ALSO TO THE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD WITH THEM, I KNOW GM IS DOING ALL THAT IT CAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND WONDER WHY THEY ARE BEING ALLOWED TO BE DRIVEN ON THE ROADS WHEN THEY ARE UNSAFE. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE RISK IT POSES NOT ONLY TO ME BUT TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD AND WILL BE GETTING A RENTAL . OH AND BY THE WAY WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF, IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO STEER IT AROUND THE CORNER BECAUSE OFF COURSE MY POWER STEERING WAS GONE MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STEER. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE OFF RAMP OF THE FREEWAY THE FRONT OF MY CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND RATTLE. A COUPLE MINUTES LATER AFTER TURNING A CORNER, ONLY GOING 30MI/HR, THE CARS POWER STEERING THEN TURNED OFF. EVERY TIME I TURN MY CAR ON AND TAKE A TRIP THE POWER STEERING GOES OFF AT LEAST TWICE.

HAD THEM REPAIRED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL APPROXIMATELY JUNE 1ST WHEN THE SHUTTERING/VIBRATING STARTED UP AGAIN AND THE SOMETIMES VIOLENTLY AT THAT.

MY 2010 HHR HAS EXPERIENCED AN IGNITION ISSUE AS WELL. I CANNOT GET THE KEY TO TURN BACK TO THE OFF POSITION. I GOT HOME FROM WORK AT MIDNIGHT, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WHEN I TRIED TO SHUT THE CAR OFF IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK. THE ONLY OPTION I HAD WAS TO PULL THE ECM FUSE AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY (OR LET IT RUN OUT OF GAS). THE GEAR SHIFTER WILL ALLOW ME TO SHIFT BETWEEN ALL GEARS BUT IT WON'T TURN OFF. ALL THE ELECTRICAL STAY ON, I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR 3 MONTHS. *TR

MY 2010 CHEVY HHR HAS EXPERIENCED AN IGNITION ISSUE. THE KEY, WHEN THE CAR IS SET TO PARK, WILL NOT DISENGAGE. IT REMAINS ON, WITH THE ONLY OPTION BEING TO LET THE CAR RUN OUT OF GAS/THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. THE KEY WILL TURN (AS IF TO START THE CAR), AND THE GEAR CAN BE SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE, NEUTRAL, ETC., BUT WILL NOT TURN OFF. ALL SYSTEMS STAY ON, POTENTIALLY BURNING OUT ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OR CAUSING PERMANENT ENGINE DAMAGE. THE ONLY WAY TO SAFELY ADDRESS THE IMMEDIATE ISSUE IS TO DISENGAGE THE FUSES UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH MANY CONSUMERS MAY BE UNABLE TO DO. *TR
