2007 Chevrolet HHR Complaint Log

EVERYTIME IT RAINS THERE IS STANDING WATER ON THE PASSENGER FLOORBOARD. ALL WINDOWS ARE UP AND NO LEAKAGE OF WINDSHIELD. ALSO PUT PLASTIC OVER WINDSHIELD AND WAS THE SAME INSIDE.

THE POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT

POWER STEERING CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING. PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. RESETS AFTER RESTARTING VEHICLE. KNOWN GM PROBLEM ON OTHER YEARS AND MODELS USING THE SAME MOTOR.

HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY FOR YEARS, DID AN ONLINE SEARCH LATELY AND SAW MANY VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE INDICATING OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!! SOME HAVE REPORTED ONLINE THAT THEY HAVE HAD MAJOR ACCIDENTS AND CARS BEING TOTALLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. STARTED ASKING OTHER HHR OWNERS I KNOW AND EVERY ONE OF THEM, WITHOUT EXCEPTION HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. TALKED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY ALL SEEM TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS TO BE A WELL-KNOWN DESIGN FLAW THAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY IGNORED BY NHTSA AND CHEVROLET. I PAID OVER $1,000 TO HAVE A STEERING MODULE REPLACED. LASTED LESS THAN A WEEK - PROBLEM CAME RIGHT BACK. THEY THEN WANTED ANOTHER $1,200 TO REPLACE ANOTHER MODULE. DECIDED TO "JUST LIVE WITH IT", SINCE I HAD GOTTEN USED TO IT AND COULD MUSCLE MY WAY THROUGH THINGS. MY WIFE CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. SOMETIMES IT TURNS ON AND OFF TWO OR THREE TIMES GOING THROUGH A TURN - HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF IT. MAY I ASK WHY NHTSA AND CHEVROLET HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR TRIED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? IS IT GOING TO TAKE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE DIEING, A MAJOR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, MAJOR NATIONAL MEDIA ATTENTION, ETC. FOR SOMEONE TO FINALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?

CAR IN MOTION ON FREEWAY AND NEIGHBORHOOD, POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND IS DISPLAYED "POWER STEERING " . NO WARNING, YOU TURN CAR OFF, RESTART IT GOES OFF AND WITHIN FEW MINUTES DOES AGAIN. I'M NOW SCARED TO DRIVE IT, I'M 2ND OWNER OF CAR AND ONLY HAS 56,000 MILES.

POWER STEERING SOMETIMES CUTS OUT.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. SAYS SERVICE AIR BAG.

THE POWER STEERING LIGHTS CAME ON AND MAKE ITS HARD TO EVEN STEER THE WHEEL, IT DO NO TAKE ANY POWER STEERING FLUID, FUSE BEEN CHECKED AND REPLACED STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.I WAS DRIVING AND THE POWER STEERING FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AND MADE IT HARD FOR TO STEER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET HHR. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH IN THE RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED OPERATING. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT A PLASTIC GARMENT IN THE WIPER HAD CRACKED AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000. UPDATED 05/30/17*LJ *AS

I WAS DRIVING MY 07 CHEVROLET HHR @ 45 MPH WHEN THE DASH DISPLAY BLINKED THEN DISPLAYED ENGINE POWER REDUCED, FOLLOWED BY A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION OF SPEED. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE BEYOND 30 MPH, SO I PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD TO AVOID BEING HIT BY THE 18 WHEELER TRAVELING BEHIND ME. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I DROVE 15 MILES BACK HOME @ A SPEED OF 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE REFUSES TO ACCELERATE BEYOND 30 MPH

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR! NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. ALL OF A SUDDEN STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF AND NON MOVABLE. POWER STEERING FLASHED ON DASHBOARD. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AND I CANT BELIEVE THERE IS NO RECALL!!!!!!!

POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT ANY POINT WHILE DRIVING USUALLY A FEW MINUTES AFTER DRIVING AND AFTER I TURN THE KEY OFF AND START IT BACK UP IT'S FINE AND LAST FOR A FEW MINUTES AND GOES BACK OUT

MY POWER STEERING RANDOMLY GOES OUT WHILE I AM DRIVING SINCE I BOUGHT IT 2 YEARS AGO. LATELY IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT 2 TIMES PER DAY IF NOT MORE. I AM WORRIED THAT I WILL BE TRANSPORTING MY CHILD TO DAY CARE OR DRIVING LONG DISTANCES AND IT WILL GO OUT ONLY FOR ME TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

I WAS DRIVING INTO A PARKIN GLOT AND MY STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING AND I COULD NOT HARDLY GET IT IN THE PARKIN GLOT. I SAT FOR A WHILE AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WORKED TO GET ME HOME. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT I SAW A STEERING PROBLEM BACK WHEN I HAD MY IGNITION RECALL FIXED. I NOW CANNOT FIND THAT.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT. DASH DISPLAYED POWER STEERING.

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY HHR LS THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2006. MY WIFE AND I ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S AND IT IS WHAT I DRIVE TO WORK DAILY. MY HHR CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000 MILES ON IT. I NORMALLY GET 29 TO 30 MPG ON AVERAGE, BUT OVER THE PAST MONTH I HAVE ONLY AVERAGED 26 TO 27 MPG. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, ON JANUARY 18TH OF 2017, I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR, WHERE UPON I NOTICED GAS DRIPPING FROM THE FUEL LINE NEAR THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE, JUST PAST THE FUEL LINE MOUNT, AND THE LINE LOOKS CORRODED. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND I HAVE IT SCHEDULED TO GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. FROM EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE READ THUS FAR, I AM CONFIDENT THAT I HAVE A RUSTED AN LEAKING GAS LINE. I BELIEVE GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THAT IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND THEY ARE JUST IGNORING IT HOPING IT GOES AWAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING BECOMES INTERMITTENT. GOES OUT THEN RETURNS WHILE DRIVING OR AFTER BEING TURNED OFF. CHEVROLET HAS REPLACED EPS UNIT 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. AGAIN THE EPS IS INTERMITTENT, NOW WE ARE BEING TOLD IT IS A SHORT. I READ THAT THE RECALL FOR THE EPS INCLUDES A TORQUE SENSOR WITH DEFECTIVE OR FAULTY CONTACTS, GM HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS. CHEVROLET SAYS THE VEHICLE HAS A SHORT AND IT NOT A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. 74,471 MILES ON VEHICLE

POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING AND INDICATOR LIGHT ON DASHBOARD SAYS POWER STEERING- THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. MOST OF THE TIME SHUTTING OF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING IT WILL GET THE POWER STEERING WORKING AGAIN FOR A SHORT TIME. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE OR ALLOWING IT TO IDLE IN THE DRIVEWAY THEN TURNING IT OFF IT WILL NOT START AGAIN FOR A MINIMUM OF 1 HOUR. WHILE DRIVING -SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN- THE ENGINE HAS ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF AND NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE VEHICLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXCESSIVE RUST ON INTERNAL REAR BUMPER SUPPORT. IT'S TO THE POINT OF FLAKING. THIS METAL SUPPORT IS MOUNTED TO THE BODY, BETWEEN THE VEHICLE BODY AND PLASTIC COVER.

VEHICLE HAS ROUGHLY 93,000 MILES. LAST WEEK WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY CUT OUT. THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A WARNING INDICATION ON THE DASH DISPLAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON, THE POWER STEERING RESUMES. HOWEVER, AFTER A FEW MILES, THE POWER STEERING FAILS AGAIN. THIS OCCURED ON BOTH CITY DRIVING AND AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I TRIED CHANGING OUT THE FUSE, BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION WHEN IT FAILS OUT OF NOWHERE. EASY TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED THAT A RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED FOR THE 2009 AND 2010 HHR, BUT NOT OTHER YEARS. WHY NOT?

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET. IF I TURN OFF AND RESTART THE POWER STEERING RETURNS AT THIS TIME. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IS THERE A SOLUTION?

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.

THE POWER STEERING QUITS WORKING WHILE YOUR DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. IT'S RANDOM SO YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
