NON OF WHAT YOU'VE LISTED ABOVE, APPLY.. I'M UPSET ABOUT HOW LONG THIS PROCESS HAS TAKEN.. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS HAS BEEN HELD BACK SINCE 2007 AND GM WAS AWARE OF THEIR OWN WRONG DOING! BUT I CALLED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT LOCALLY AND THEY TELL ME THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL ON ORDER.. I CANT AFFORD A RENTAL! NOW PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF ARE OPERATING ON FEAR.. MY AIRBAG LIGHT BLINKS OFF AND ON FROM TIME TO TIME. THE KEY AT TIMES WANT TURN IN THE IGNITION!! I LIKE THIS CAR, BUT NO LONGER., WHY DOESN'T GM OFFER LOANER CARS TO US ALL UNTIL THEY FIX THE ISSUE THAT THEY CAUSED... SCARED OF DYEING IN RALEIGH, NC. *TR

I REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH ON A PRIVATE MECHANIC. I WOULD LIKE TO SENT THE RECEIPT SO I CAN GET REIMBURSE. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY HHR. I'VE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED. BUT NOT MANY OTHERS. UNTIL NOW THERE IS A CHIME AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ON THE DASH COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST GOES OFF. 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. BUT SINCE MY VIN IS NOT ON THE POWER STEERING RECALL I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. WHICH I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY AFTER I DID MY TAXES. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I FOUND A NOTICE ON THE GM WEBSITE THAT LISTED THE 2006-2007 HHR TO HAVE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE POWER STEERING. BUT SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT I AM OUT OF LUCK. I SENT THE ARTICLE TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE VIN ISN'T LISTED. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THIS SHOULD BE COVERED. FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FO IT NOT TO BE COVERED TO SOME EXTENT. *TT

THE POWER STEERING WARNING FLASHES IN THE DASH, THE STEERING WHEEL GETS VERY HARD. IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF, IT WILL WORK FINE AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT OFTEN, SOME DAYS NOTHING HAPPENS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF SO MANY PEOPLE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE POWER STEERING WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A WET ROAD AT 30 TO 35 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN I TOPPED A SMALL HILL AND I LOST ALL POWER. NO PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE KEY TO OFF AND RESTARTED. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MESSAGE DISPLAYED WAS ENGINE POWER REDUCTION. I DROVE 20 TO 25 MILES PER HOUR TO MY DESTINATION THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 30 MILES PER HOUR AND THE CAR SHIFTED ROUGHLY AND JUMPED. A NICE GUY THERE, TURNED THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION 3 TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD GO OFF. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID BRING IT IN, I ALREADY HAD THE RECALL LETTER AND ASK HIM IF IT COULD BE RELATED TO THE RECALL (AS I AM ON A FIXED INCOME) HE SAID NO AND IT WOULD COST 150.00 I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER EPISODES AND I HOPE I DON'T IT WAS VERY SCARY. GLAD I WAS GOING SLOW AND NOT A BUSY ROAD. I HAD PREVIOUSLY REMOVED THE KEY FOB AND WAS ONLY USING MY IGNITION KEY AS PER THE RECALL LETTER INSTRUCTION. WAITING FOR THE NEXT LETTER FOR THE RECALL AND HOPE THE FIX PREVENTS IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. *TR

3 DAYS AGO MY POWERSTEERING KEPT GOING OUT .UNSAFE ALMOST HIT SOMEBODY..AND NOW TODAY MY CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS WHEN I START IT ..FIRE ..FIRE ..FIRE..PLEASE RECALL THESE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CHEVY HHR WILL LOSE ALL POWER STEERING MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AFTER I TURN OFF MY HHR AND RESTART IT. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND THE OTHER MOTORIST DRIVING ON THE ROAD. IT STARTED TO HAPPEN ABOUT A WEEK AGO AND GOES OUT A COUPLE TIMES A DAY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE MORE PEOPLE DIE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND MY STEERING WHEEL GOT VERY HARD TO STEER. I HEARD A DING AND LOOKED DOWN TO SEE POWER STEERING.

I LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAY CHECK AND I'M VERY UPSET THAT CHEVY PUT A PRODUCT OUT ON THE MARKET WITH DEFECTS LIKE THIS. MAKES ME QUESTION ABOUT MY NEXT PURCHASE. VERY UNHAPPY CUSTOMER. *TR

DRIVING GETTING ONTO ON RAMP TO INTERSTATE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN WITH NO POWER STEERING AROUND THE TURN. AND OF COURSE THERE WAS TWO MORE RAMPS TO GO AROUND. TURNED OFF THE CAR TO GET GAS AND THE POWER STEERING CAME BACK AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WENT OFF. HAVE BEEN READING THE OTHER POSTS AND I GUESS I'M NOT ALONE. I JUST HOPE THAT THIS IS COVERED UNDER A RECALL SO IT CAN BE FIXED RIGHT. *TR

AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND AFTER VARIOUS AMOUNTS OF TIME THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR WILL COME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WHEEL FAIL.. THIS CAN USUALLY BE RELIEVED BY TURNING CAR OFF AND BACK ON.. THIS IS HAPPENING ALMOST DAILY. *TR

I JUST HAD MY RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH COMPLETED ON MY HHR AS OF 6/26/14. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP, I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT AND MY POWER STEERING WAS OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THE GENTLEMAN THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR IS NOT A RECALL, AND I CAN EITHER CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT WITH NO POWER STEERING 99% OF THE TIME, OR I CAN PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. IT MAY "POTENTIALLY" BE ANOTHER RECALL IN THE FUTURE, BUT IS NOT CONFIRMED YET. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, AND GM IS AWARE ENOUGH TO RECALL THIS POWER STEERING ISSUE A FEW YEARS BACK IN CANADA, BUT NOT HERE IN THE US. I HAVE CONTACTED CUSTOMER CARE. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THE SAME. I WOULD NEED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THIS IS HUGE. YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE 5 FT AND IT IS OUT. I SURELY HOPE I AM NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS I HAVE A 9 YR OLD SON. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT GM IS FAILING TO RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT THAT IT IS SICKENING AND SAD THAT THEIR REFUSAL AND LACK OF EMPATHY FOR THESE OWNERS DISGUSTS ME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH AND THE POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT. THE LIGHT SOUNDED AND POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME UP ON THE DASH. THE WHEEL WAS VERY HARD TO TURN. WHEN I STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN, IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I SEARCHED ONLINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT ON HHR MODELS. I SAW WHERE MANY OF THE CHEVY MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME REASON AND EVEN THE HHR IN CANADA BUT NOT IN THE USA. I FIND THIS VERY DANGEROUS. PLEASE RECALL THE 2007 HHR FOR THIS PROBLEM. I FEAR DRIVING MY CAR NOW. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, 70MPH, POWER STEERING SIMPLY WENT OFF. PULLED OFF ONTO ANOTHER ROAD, STOPPED AT A NEARBY CHEVY DEALERSHIP, TURNED CAR OFF TO ASK FOR SERVICE, WHEN CAR WAS PULLED IN TO BE LOOKED AT, POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. *TR
