THE DOOR HANDLE IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND IT FAILS. THE PLASTIC CRACKS AND YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. MINE BROKE. WHAT IF SOMEONE GOT CAUGHT IN A FLASH FLOOD AND YOU LOSE POWER TO YOU WINDOW. YOU DIE. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND GM ADDRESS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SSR. THEY REPLACE THE SSR HANDLES WITH METAL. THERE ARE 40,000 MEMBERS ON THE HHR FORUM AND A LOT MORE CARS ON ROAD. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. IT'S SCARY THAT ONE PULL ON YOU DOOR HANDLE AND YOU CAN'T GET OUT UNLESS YOU OPEN THE WINDOW OR CRAWL OUT THE OTHER SIDE.

Mileage: 62,500

PASSENGER INSIDE DOOR HANDLE IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND CRACKED. ONLY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IS TO OPEN WINDOW AND USE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. IF THE WINDOW FAILS YOU NEED TO EXIT THE DRIVER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS I HAVE HAD BOTH FRONT DOOR HANDLES ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BREAK OFF. IT LOOKS BASED ON MY RESEARCH THIS IS A PROBLEM IN ALL HHR VEHICLES.

BOTH INSIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLES BROKE OFF BEFORE THE CAR WAS 2 YEARS OLD. I AM DISABLED AND WITH THE OTHER PROBLEMS I AM REPORTING THAT ARE RELATED TO THIS CAR, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT WOULD TRAP ME IN THE CAR IF THERE WERE EVER AN ACCIDENT. WITH THE WINDOWS NOT BEING ABLE TO BE ROLLED DOWN FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTROL PANEL IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE TWO FRONT DOORS IF YOU DON'T HAVE SMALL ENOUGH FINGERS TO REACH INSIDE THE DOOR AND UNLATCH THE MECHANISM. EVERYONE I HAVE SPOKEN WHO HAS AN HHR ARE ALSO HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE JUST BRAKES OFF. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU CAN BECOME TRAPPED IN YOUR CAR. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR WHEN THIS HAPPENED IS TO ROLL DOWN WINDOW AND PUT YOUR ARM OUT TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR HAVE SOMEONE ELSE OPEN FOR YOU. FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE, STALLED ON RAILROAD TRACKS, OR CARJACKED YOU ARE A PRISONER IN THE CAR. THE DOOR HANDLES ARE MADE OF PLASTIC AND IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR., MINE WAS $200. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN A SAFETY CONCERN, I WOULD NOT HAVE REPAIRED IT. IF YOU RESEARCH THE INTERNET IT IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM. PLEASE RESEARCH. *TR

I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN MY 2010 CHEVY HHR'S REAR PASSENGER DOOR. THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. ALL OTHER DOORS ARE OPENING OK. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. NOT BEING TO EXIT A VEHICLE UNDER EMERGENCY CIRCUMSTANCES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ALTHOUGH GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. THE GM DEALER I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO TOLD ME IT WAS MY PROBLEM, NOT GM'S. I HAVE FACED MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE; KEY STUCK IN IGNITION, POWER STEERING FAIL WHILE DRIVING, MULTIPLE SETS OF BRAKES BURNT OUT, INSIDE DRIVER'S DOOR HANDLE BREAKING OFF AND NOW THIS NEW ISSUE WITH THE DOOR. THE NHTSA REALLY NEEDS TO URGENTLY ADDRESS THE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HOLD GM RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR POOR ENGINEERING AND QUALITY CONTROL, BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE LOSES THEIR LIFE. *TR

ON 3/7/13 MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON THE NEXT DAY MY DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF AND I CALLED GM AND THEY STATED THEY HAD BEEN NO RECALLS FOR THESE PROBLEMS. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I SAW THAT PEOPLE WERE HAVING ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE ISSUES AND THEY ARE BOTH BIG SAFETY ISSUES. I FEEL LIKE GM IS NOT WANTING TO TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES. THE AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY AT ANY TIME AND THE IF I WAS IN A WRECK OR AUTO WAS ON FIRE I'D HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING OUT THE VEHICLE WITH THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF. THEY JUST TOLD ME IT WAS UP TO ME OR I'D HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY WAS ENOUGH COMPLAINTS. THAT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT NOW I'M HAVING TO LEAVE THE CAR SITTING CAUSE OF THESE SAFETY ISSUES SINCE I'M ON A LIMITED INCOME AND GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE SAFETY ISSUES.

I DRIVE A 2010 CHEVY HHR. I NOTICED NOT TO LONG AFTER I PURCHASED IT NEW THE DOOR(DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER) WOULD NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR EVEN INSIDE WHEN I WOULD CRAWL INSIDE AND TRY TO GET IT OPEN. IT WOULD ONLY DO IT ON OCCASION. NOW IT HAS CEASED TO HAPPEN AT ALL IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. ON MAY 25TH OF THIS YEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE DID THE SAME THING. MY MOTHER AND I WERE TRAVELING TO MY DAUGHTERS GRADUATION AND IT COMPLETELY LOCKED HER INSIDE. SHE COULD NOT GET THE DOOR OPENED AT ALL EVEN THOUGH I HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON AND SHE TRIED MANY TIMES TO DO THE SAME THING ON HER SIDE. THE ACTUAL DOOR LOCK WAS IN THE UP POSITION SHOWING THAT THE DOOR APPEARED TO BE IN THE UNLOCK POSITION BUT WHEN SHE WENT FOR THE HANDLE IT WAS STILL LOCKED. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS DAY. IT EVEN SET MY ALARM SYSTEM ON MY CAR OFF BECAUSE AFTER IT REFUSED TO UNLOCK IT EVENTUALLY DID AND THEN REFUSED TO LOCK BACK. I GO AROUND AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE MAKING SURE ALL MY DOORS WERE SECURED AND IT WAS NOT LOCKED EVEN THOUGH THE LATCH WAS IN THE DOWN POSITION AND APPEARED TO BE SECURED. IS THIS A COMPUTER PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES? I HAVE READ ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THE OLDER MODEL HHR'S HAVING THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT ON A NEWER ONE OF THE YEAR I HAVE. WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS CAN SOMEONE ACCESS MY COMPUTER BOARD IN MY VEHICLE AND SET THOSE LOCKS TO MESS UP? IT WAS ALMOST LIKE SOMEONE WAS MAYBE WANTING IN MY VEHICLE AND WHAT A BETTER WAY TO DO IT THAN TO MESS WITH THE LOCKING SYSTEM. I WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN MY VEHICLE WAS UNLOCKED HAD I NOT WENT OVER AND PHYSICALLY CHECKED IT THAT DAY BECAUSE LIKE I SAID IT APPEARED TO BE LOCKED. THE LOCK ACTUALLY WENT DOWN WHEN I HIT MY KEY FOB TO LOCK MY DOORS THAT DAY. WEIRD THING IS...IT HASN'T DONE IT SINCE THEN....HOW DOES A VEHICLE FIX ITSELF? *TR
