THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. *TR

ALL CYLINDER SLEEVES CRACKED, REPLACED HEAD GASKET, HEAD INTAKE AND ALL SEALS, GASKETS AND O-RINGS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2011 CHEVY HHR FROM CARMAX. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT, IT WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT. THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT AND AFTER IT WAS STILL PULLING TO THE LEFT. THEY REPLACED ALL OF THE SHOCKS AND STRUTS AND REALIGNED IT. IT IS STILL PULLING TO THE LEFT AND THEY HAVE NO REASONING BEHIND IT AND THEY CAN NOT FIX THE ISSUE. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET HHR. THE CONTACT STATED THE KEY WAS ABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED IN REGARDS TO THE RECALLS. HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER DECLINED TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED TIME FRAME OF WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE SERVICED UNDER BOTH RECALLS. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND MADE THE CONTACT AWARE THAT THERE WAS WAITING LIST OF OVER 222 VEHICLES THAT NEEDED TO BE SERVICED UNDER THE RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATELY FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET HHR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. IN ADDITION THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THE BRAKES, ESC, SBC, AND THE LOW TRACTION WARNING LAMPS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000, AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENT WHERE A DRIVER HIT MYSELF AND SEVERAL OTHER DRIVERS IN ICY CONDITIONS. THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR DID NOT DEPLOY, LEAVING ME WITH MULTIPLE BRUISES AND SORENESS EVEN WEEKS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I ALSO SUSTAINED A NECK STRAIN DURING THE ACCIDENT, AND INJURED MY KNEE. *TR

STEERING SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING FROM 45 MPH AND SLOWER CAUSING THE CAR TO TRY TO CHANGE POSITION IN THE LANE. THERE IS A NOISE OF SOMETHING LOOSE IN THE LEFT FRONT WHEN BRAKING OR HITTING BUMPS OR ON ROUGH ROADS. BRAKE PEDAL PULSES. ALL THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND NEEDS THE NHTSA ATTENTION. *TR

2011 CHEVROLET HHR. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE ACCELERATION ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, SHE NOTICED THE VEHICLE EXHIBIT A BOOST/JERK TYPE MOVEMENT, AND IT MADE A STRANGE NOISE. WHEN SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, SHE WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM WAS A SPARK PLUG AND THEY FIXED IT. HOWEVER, ONE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN EXHIBITED THE SAME BOOST/JERK MOVEMENT, AS IF SHE SUDDENLY HIT THE BRAKE, AS THE VEHICLE WAS LOSING SPEED, UNTIL IT SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER, TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RE-STARTED IT AGAIN WITH NO PROBLEM. A MONTH LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED, ONLY THAT TIME, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT STARTED BLINKING, FOLLOWED BY A STRANGE NOISE. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN IN MAY 2014. *JB

MERGING INTO TRAFFIC CAR STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE RENTAL JUST CONTINUE TO SLIDE INTO THE CAR CAUSING REAR END ACCIDENT WARNING LIGHTS IN DASH CONTROL TRACTION SERVICE AND ENGINE SERVICE SOON LOW OILS LIGHTS LOUD NOISE FROM BRAKES LOINS NOISE FROM UNDERPARTS

I WILL BE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HEAD LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS WILL GO OUT BEEN IN THE SHOP 10 TIMES TOTAL STILL CANT FIX

IN COLDER TEMPERATURES MY CAR SPUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING AND RPMS JUMP QUICKLY FROM 2 TO 3 AND THEN BACK DOWN. IN ADDITION, THE RADIO MAY TURN OFF, ALL DASH GAUGES (FUEL, SPEED, RPMS) GO TO 0, VARIOUS SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON (NOT ALWAYS THE SAME) AND THEN EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL. CAR WORKS FINE IN WARMER TEMPERATURES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2013 AND WHEN PLUGGED IN THERE WERE REPORTS IF 20 THINGS WRONG AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM AND SAID IT WOULD COST THOUSAND TO CHECK ALL OF THE ISSUES BEING REPORTED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ALTHOUGH THEY WERE VERY NICE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO HELP DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE WAS. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SERVICE PLACE AND WHILE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE ULTIMATE PROBLEM THEY PUT DIELECTRIC GREASE ON ALL MY ELECTRONIC CONNECTIONS IN THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD AND IT WORKED FINE THE REST IF THE WINTER. THEY SAID IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT I CAME IN WHEN I DID BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IF I DROVE IT ANY LONGER I WOULD HAVE DESTROYED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. IN 2014, I HAD THEM DO THE SAME "FIX". NOW IN 2015 IT HAS STARTED BACK UP AGAIN.

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STOPPED OPENING FROM THE INSIDE. THEREFORE WE HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE TO GET OUT OR CRAWL TO THE PASSENGER DOOR TO GET OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE WHO GETS IN A CAR ACCIDENT, OR ANYONE HAVING A CAR ISSUE. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE I KNOW WHO HAVE THE SAME CAR AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD GET IT FIXED BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. MY HUSBAND WOULD FIX IT BUT THEN IT WOULD VOID MY WARRANTY. ALSO HAD MY CAR BROUGHT FOR IGNITION RECALL GOT IT FIXED AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. THIS IS ALSO A MAJOR PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO GET FIXED, I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND THEY WONT TELL ME WHICH ONE IS FAULTY IF ANY. AS WELL NO MONEY TO FIX IT. $100 DEDUCTIBLE EVERY TIME TO JUST CHECK IS NOT VERY REASONABLE. *TR

I AM 1 PERSON, AND MY DOOR HANDLES ON THE INSIDE ARE PLASTIC AND HAVE BROKEN OFF! I HAVE TO CLIMB TO THE BACK AND HAVE 1 DOOR THAT STILL HAS A HANDLE WORKING! I ONLY HAVE 48000 MILES ON IT! THE HANDLES ARE CHEAP PLASTIC AND I LIVE IN FFLORIDA AND IT GETS HOT!

I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY RIGHT FRONT END SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. WHEN I CUT THE WHEEL HARD TO THE RIGHT, IT MAKES A LOUD THUMPING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO POP OFF. IT MAKES THE MOST NOISE IN A SLOW OR PARKING MOVEMENT. THEN I TAKE IT IN AND THEY PUMP UP THE TIRES WITH AIR, AND SAY THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THEN THE AIR LOW LIGHT FOR THE TIRES COMES ON. YOU FILL IT UP, AND THEN ANOTHER ONE COMES ON. THEN CHECK THE AIR BAG POPS ON. I'VE EVEN EXPERIENCED THE CAR LITERALLY FEELING LIKE THE MOTOR IDLING REAL LOW TO ALMOST SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ATLEAST 3 TIMES. I WAS ONLY DOING ABOUT 25 MILES AN HOUR, BUT IT WAS REALLY COLD OUTSIDE. EVERYTIME I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR REPAIR, THEY HAVE SAID, WE CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

I GRABBED THE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN MY CHEVY 2011 HHR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO EXIT MY VEHICLE AND THE HANDLE COMPLETELY BROKE OFF!!! I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS KIND OF THING HAPPEN BEFORE AND AM NOT SURE WHY A CAR MANUFACTURER WOULD BE ALLOWED TO MAKE ONE OF THE MOST INTEGRAL PARTS OF A VEHICLE OUT OF CHEAP MATERIAL. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, THE DEALERSHIP IS HINTING THAT I MAY HAVE TO BEAR THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PAYING SOMETHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE BY BRINGING THE CAR IN TO SEE IF THE ISSUE IS COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR COVERED AT ALL. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL NO BRAINER, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO COVER THE COST TO FIX THIS IN ANY WAY. ALSO TO MY SURPRISE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONGST CHEVY 2006-2011 HHR OWNERS WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIPS THAT IT WOULD COST THEM BETWEEN 300 & 400 DOLLARS TO "REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL" OR THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD BY GM THAT A "DIAGNOSTIC" HAS TO BE DONE THAT MIGHT COST THEM OUT OF POCKET MONEY. BOTH SCENARIOS ARE ABSOLUTELY INSANE. I AM NOT SURE WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN MADE A RECALL ISSUE, THEREBY FORCING GM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER???? IT IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AS WELL AS SAFETY ISSUE. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND I NEED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT. ALSO, I LIVE IN CHICAGO AND AS EVERYONE KNOWS IT IS COMING UPON THE WINTER SEASON AND IF LAST YEAR WAS ANY INDICATION, WE COULD BE IN FOR ANOTHER BRUTAL WINTER WHERE BELOW ZERO TEMPERATURES HAVE A FREEZING EFFECT ON POWER WINDOWS, WHICH IS MY CURRENT METHOD OF EXITING THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MAR. OF 2014 AND THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I WOULD HAVE KNOWN TO EVEN CONSIDER TO THINK ABOUT BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT YOUR AGENCY SHOULD BE ON TOP OF. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT OCTOBER 30TH 2013 IN MY CHEVY HHR. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND I HAD CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP LIGHT BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE. FIVE SECONDS THERE AFTER STOPPING I FELT THIS HUGE PUSH BEHIND ME THAT CAUSE ME TO SLIDE INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. IN THIS ACCIDENT I HAVE SUBSTAINED INJURIES OF A BRUISE STERNUM, STRAIN BACK AND NECK (WHIP LASH) AND A SPRAINED KNEE (RESULTED IN A TORN MANISCUS) THAT WAS SLAMMED INTO THE DASH BOARD IN FRONT OF ME. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED!! I WAS IN TOTAL SHOCK AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE ER BY AMBULANCE WHILE MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A TOW COMPANIES LOT, TO LATER BE TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I CURRENTLY TREAT WITH A PHYSICAL THERAPIST FOR MY INJURIES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING. I LIVE JUST 5 MINUTES FROM THE OFFICE. I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND WAS GOING ABOUT 5MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE ESC ACTIVE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH, THEN A YELLOW TRIANGLE WARNING STARTED FLASHING. THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE CAR DECELERATED ON ITS OWN. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND THE WARNINGS WENT AWAY. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN SO I STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND AGAIN, THE SAME WARNINGS. HELP! THE ROADS WERE NOT WET, I WAS NEVER ABOVE 8MPH WHEN THESE TWO INCIDENTS OCCURRED. THANK YOU. *TR

DRIVING ON I-25 ON THE WEST SIDE OF EISENHOWER PASS & THE ENGINE SHUT OFF LEAVING ME WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BREAKS. I WAS ABLE TO THREAD MY VEHICLE THROUGH SEMIS & SPRING BREAK SKI TRAFFIC TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A RUNAWAY SEMI LANE. THE CAR RESTARTED AFTER I STOPPED SHAKING & WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME TO BASALT. 2 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON CO HWY 82 ON A STRAIGHT AWAY BETWEEN CARBONDALE & GLENWOOD SPRINGS. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BOTH TIMES I CHECKED THE INTERNET FOR RECALL INFORMATION FINDING NOTHING. THE RECENT MEDIA ATTENTION ALERTED ME TO THE CURRENT RECALL & HAVE CALLED MY DEALERSHIP & MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH TO BE REPLACED. *JS

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT, FROM A DEALER WHO SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT. THEY TRIED TWICE AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS UP TO SPECS. THEY SAID THEY CALL IT A DRIFT. WELL IT WANTS TO DRIFT ME INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE. AS OF 3-12-14 STILL NOT FIXED. *TR

I BOUGHT THE HHR WITH 12000 MILES ON IT, FROM A GM DEALER. I TOLD THEM THE CAR PULLED TO THE LEFT, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD FIX IT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE, AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS WITHIN TOLERANCES. STILL PULLS TO THE LEFT. ALSO THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE IS WEARING OUT, BUT NOT THE OTHERS. *TR

I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2013 WITH 54000 MILES ON IT. THERE WAS A SHAKING IN THE FRONT END WHILE BRAKING. I WAS INSURED AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS BECAUSE IT HAS NEW BRAKES AND IF IT DOES NOT STOP BRING IT BACK AND THEY WILL FIX IT. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY ROTATED THE ROTORS. IT WORKED WELL FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. THE ROTORS STARTED SHAKING AGAIN AFTER ONLY TWO WEEKS. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK AGAIN AND THEY PUT NEW ROTORS ON THE VEHICLE. IT HAS STARTED AGAIN WITH THE NEW ROTORS. THIS TIME IT STARTED WITH IN A MONTH. MY CAR WHILE BREAKING WILL SOMETIME FEEL LIKE THERE IS ICE UNDER IT ON DRY ROADS. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT TODAY TO BIG O TIRES AND HAVE A FRIEND WORK ON IT THAT I TRUST. THE CAR JUST HIT 70000 MILES. I HAVE DONE ONLY ONE OIL CHANGE AND TAKING THE CAR IN THREE TIMES FOR WRAPPED ROTORS. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THAT THEY ARE JUST IGNORING. I STATED THAT I TOOK IT IN TWICE I TOOK IT TO PINEGAR CHEVORLET IN BRANSON, MO WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. HERE IS SOME SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON SERVICE DATES AND MILEAGE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE: 02/14/2013 52534 MILES 1ST REPAIR: 04/22/2013 ROTATED ROTORS 56032 MILES 2ND REPAIR: 08/24/2013 61,107 REPLACED ROTORS WENT AND TALKED TO PINEGAR CHEVROLET TOLD THEN THAT THEY ARE VIBRATING AGAIN ON 10/26/2013 65777 MILES. BLAMMED THE WHOLE THING ON MY DRIVING. THE ROTORS ARE THINNER THEN THEY ARE IN THE NEW CARS. THEY DO IT TO BE MORE FUEL EFFICIENT. IT WILL COST ABOUT 100 TO ROTATE THE ROTORS. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKING SYSTEM AND THEY ARE JUST IGNORING IT. *TR

THE ABOVE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIRS 6-7TIMES FOR INTERMIT ANTI-THEFT LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING AND A RECALL FOR ANTI-THEFT/AIR BAG MALFUNCTIONS. INTERMITTINGLY THE CAR WILL ALSO NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY(S) AND WILL NOT START. MY CONCERN FOR SAFETY IS WHEN THE CAR BEGINS TO DING WHILE I'M DRIVING AND THEN THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT COMES ON IT WILL ALSO DECIDE TO STALL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY AND THINKS IT'S BEING STOLEN. (IT HAS NOT DONE THAT YET, BUT IT IS A FEAR). I HAD THE CHEVY 2014 ANTI-THEFT/AIRBAG RECALL AUG 2014. IN DEC 2014 MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WITH A WARNING TO REPAIR. IN JAN 2015 THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT CAME ON 2 TIMES. WALKER JONES CHEVY OF WAYCROSS, GA DETECTED NO CODE FOR AIR BAG. THE ANTI-THEFT CODE REVEALED UNRECOGNIZED KEY BUT NO CODE TO REPAIR (JAN.2015) THE LIGHT HAS COME ON 5 TIMES AND NOT STARTED ON ONE OCCASION, SINCE THE RECALL REPAIR. I AM TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT THE LIGHT MUST BE ON FOR THEM TO RETRIEVE A REPAIR CODE. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CAR IS SHUT OFF THE LIGHT GOES OFF. THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT PROBLEM CAN WAIT MONTHS BEFORE SURFACING AGAIN. I BELIEVE IT COULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF PAST CASES OF OTHER SIMILAR CARS WITH ANTI-THEFT/AIRBAG ISSUES. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVY CORPORATION BUT SINCE I DID NOT PURCHASE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND NO REPAIR CODES COME UP TO SHOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM ITS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET HHR EQUIPPED WITH PRIMEWELL PS830 TIRES (NA), SIZE 215/55/R16 (NA). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES LOST AIR PRESSURE AND WERE OUT OF ROUND.

THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,798.

2011 CHEVROLET HHR. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED ON JANUARY 8, 2013, AS HE BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, HE HIT A POT HOLE IN THE ALLEY AND THE IGNITION SWITCH TURNED OFF. HE HIS SOME HEDGES AND A SNOW BANK AND PUT A DENT IN THE REAR BUMPER. THE CONSUMER STATED THE NEXT DAY, HIS BACK, LEGS AND FEET WERE NUMB. *JB UPDATED 8/21/15*CN UPDATED 10/20/2017*CN

WAS DRIVING AT 45MPH WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN ALL GAUGES, POWER STEERING, AND ENGINE WENT ERRATIC. LOST POWER STEERING GOING DOWN HWY. CAR DARTED TO THE LEFT A LITTLE. TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE DATA LINK CIRCUIT SHORTED CAUSING ELECTRIC SHORT TO POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE AND IT WOULD BE $1125.00 TO REPAIR. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM BUT HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE DUE TO POSSIBLE LOSS OF CONTROL OF CAR AND CAUSING A CRASH. ALSO A POSSIBLE FIRE DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL SHORT THEY DESCRIBED TO ME ON THE INVOICE. THE POWER STEERING AND GAUGES ARE ALL STILL GOING ERRATIC BECAUSE I AM TRYING TO SEE IF GM WILL FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL DO TO THE FACT THAT A YOUNG DRIVER OR EVEN FEMALE DRIVER OR ANYONE IN FACT COULD LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE WHEN THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE DECIDES TO GO OUT AND COME BACK ON THEN GO OUT AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET HHR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED AND SEPARATED FROM THE DOOR PANEL.

THE RADIO HAS BEEN GOING OUT WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT WOULDN'T DO IT WHEN I TOOK IT IN BUT THEN WE HAD THE RECALL OF THE IGNITION SWITCH. THAT WAS REPAIRED AND IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. THIS MORNING IT POPPED AND SIZE LED IN THE DASH AND THRU THE RADIO EVEN AFTER TURNING THE RADIO AND CAR OFF. IT DID START BACK UP BUT EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP THE RADIO MAY GO OUT. I CALLED CHEV AND THEY CAN'T GET ME IN UNTIL 11/17. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE HHR ELECTRIC SYSTEMS. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. *TR

KEY BINDS IN IGNITION, ENGINE WILL SOMETIMES CONTINUE TO RUN AFTER KEY IS REMOVED FROM IGNITION, SOMETIMES KEY BINDS AND UNABLE TO START CAR, DEALER STATES UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE AND WILL NOT REPAIR. *TR

MY CAR CONTINUES TO SHAKE AS DO MOST HHR'S GM KNOWS THERE IS A STABILITY ISSUE AN HAS REFUSED TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON. THE BACK DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT AND MY SEAT BELT AND BACK FLOOR BOARD STAYS DAMP MAKING THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS AND MY SEATBELT UNSAFE. GM EXECUTIVE RESPONSE IS THAT NOT ALL VIN NUMBERS FAL INTO THE SERVICE BULLETINS. THESE CARES NEED TO BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND TAKEN OFF THE MARKET. THE BOLT COVERS IN THE BACK SEATS FALL OFF AT A TOUCH AND CANNOT BE REATTACHED. THEY DIG INTO LEGS. AN ACCIDENT WOULD PRESENT A STUPID IMPALEMENT THREAT. WHY ARE THEY THERE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CAR. GM STATES MY CARE DID NOT APPEAR TO THEM UNTIL 49,000 MILES. I BOUGHT IT AT 19,000 MILES. THERE ARE LIES EVERY WHERE. THERE ARE CROOKED SALESMAN AND GM IS STILL ON THE SCAM. OWNERS NEED A LEGAL OR CONGRESSIONAL ADVOCATE FOR THE CARS WE ARE STUCK WITH THAT ARE DANGEROUS AND SERIOUSLY DEVALUED. THEY HAVE HAD ALLOT OF TRAINING IN DEALING WITH OWNERS WITH ISSUES. WE NEED LIKEWISE REPRESENTATION. MY CARE IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE A FROZEN SHOULDER FROM HOLDING IT IN THE ROAD FOR 3 YEARS. IT IS A BLOOD TRAP THAT YOU CANNOT SEE OUT OF. IT IS DAMP, SHAKING, DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND UNPREDICTABLE. I COULD OT SEL IT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE. WHO WOULD BUY IT ANY WAY? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LEGAL ORDER THAT REQUIRED THEM TO REPORT DANGEROUS PROBLEMS IN 5 DAYS OR FACE PENALTIES? THEY ARE WAY OVER THE MARK ON THIS ONE. JUST LOOK AT MY CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET HHR. THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER A RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH; HOWEVER, THE REPAIR WAS INSUFFICIENT. AT TIMES, EVEN WITH THE KEY IN THE OFF POSITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE BATTERY WOULD HAVE TO BE DISCONNECTED TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY DID NOT REMAIN IN THE IGNITION AND HE FELT UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND WAS REPLACED TWICE BY THE DEALER.

THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ESC THE CAR WITH THE SLIDING MARKS ON IT. IT SEEMS TO BE EITHER PICKING UP SOMETHING OR JUST MISS FIRING. WE BE DRIVING ALONG AND THE ROAD IS NOT WET AND IT ACTIVATES. THE CAR ALMOST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. TAKING IT BACK THIS TUESDAYAPRIL 1, 2014 3RD TIME. WE ALMOST GOT KILLED TWO WEEKS AGO FROM THE SAME PROBLEM THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND IF THE BIG TRUCK WAS COMING FAST WE WOULD NOT BE HERE. WE HAD TO PULL TO A SIDE ROAD AND CUT THE CAR SWITCH COMPLETELY OFF AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND CUT IT BACK ON. I DO NOT NEED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I PAY. GM WE HELP BAIL YOU ALL DURING THE DEPRESSION WHAT IS GOING ON. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP ARE NOT KEEPING RECORDS OF THE TRIPS I MADE TO THEM IS THIS A SIGN OF SOMETHING NEW. *TR

REAR PASSENGER SEATBELT WOULD NOT UNLOCK TO EXTEND FOR USE. THIS SEATBELT HAD BEEN USED ABOUT 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO IT LOCKING UP WHEN TRYING TO PULL IT OUT FOR USE. IT WOULD NOT PULL OUT. *TR *JS

LAST JUNE, MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2011 HHR IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A SAFER, MORE DEPENDABLE VEHICLE FOR OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTERS TO LEARN TO DRIVE AND TO HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO TAKE OUR DOGS WITH US WHEN WE WANTED TO GO SOMEWHERE AS A FAMILY. IN JANUARY, ON ONE OF THE DAYS WE ACTUALLY HAD SNOW ON THE GROUND, I CAME TO AN INTERSECTION, TRIED TO STOP, COULDN'T, AND SLID THROUGH. A CAR IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION MADE A LEFT TURN, NOT REALIZING I COULDN'T STOP, HIT ME ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE HHR, TURNING ME 90 DEGREES FROM THE DIRECTION I WAS GOING AND CAUSING OVER $8,000 OF DAMAGE TO THE CAR. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT NO ONE WAS HURT. WHEN I GOT HOME, THE FIRST THING MY WIFE ASKED WAS, DID I GET TO SEE WHAT MY AIRBAG LOOKED LIKE? I REALIZED MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. WHY? ALSO, WHY DIDN'T THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES STOP THE CAR, OR AT LEAST SLOW IT DOWN? AFTER REPEATED COMPLAINTS, THE DEALER DID FINALLY GET A REPRESENTATIVE FROM GM TO LOOK INTO IT, PULL THE BLACK BOX AND SEE IF WE HAD A REAL ISSUE. THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 18, AND ON MARCH 9TH, I FINALLY GOT A FORM LETTER FROM ESIS/GM BASICALLY CLAIMING THE CAR PERFORMED AS IT SHOULD. THE LETTER ALSO STATED I SHOULD KEEP THE CAR IN AN UN-REPAIRED CONDITION UNTIL THE DISPUTE IS RESOLVED. A DAY BEFORE I GOT THE LETTER, THE DEALER CALLED TO TELL ME THE REPAIRS ON THE CAR WERE ALMOST DONE. THEY KNEW WE WERE DISPUTING IT AND FIXED THE CAR ANYWAY. GM STATED I WOULD HAVE HAD TO STEP ON THE BRAKES SEVEN SECONDS FROM THE LIGHT IN ORDER TO STOP IN TIME. AT 30 MPH, WHICH IS THE SPEED I WAS TRAVELING AT, I WOULD TRAVEL 616 FEET IN 7 SECONDS, THAT'S TWO FOOTBALL FIELDS. AT THAT DISTANCE THE LIGHT WAS STILL GREEN. I HAVE WRITTEN LOCAL LAWMAKERS, MY CONGRESSMAN, AND THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON THIS MATTER. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKES AND AIRBAGS. THE CONTACT BANGED HIS SHOULDER INTO THE CORNER POST OF THE VEHICLE. UPDATED IVOQ 04/17/12. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET HHR. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THE ESC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DETECT A TROUBLE CODE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SIX TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHENEVER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE REPAIRS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE CONSISTED OF RECALIBRATING THE STEERING SENSOR AND REPLACING THE YAW SENSOR. THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODEL WAS ALSO REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT.

STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, CAR PULLED TO LEFT. REPEATED VISITS AND CALLS TO DEALERSHIP RESULTED IN DENIAL OF PROBLEM UNTIL WARRANTY RAN OUT. AFTER HYDROPLANING ON A SMALL PUDDLE OF WATER, ESC AND SERVICE TRACTION LIGHTS CAME ON. DEALERSHIP "RESET LIGHTS" CAR HAS CONTINUED TO SHAKE. HAVE PUT 3 SETS OF TIRES ON CAR AND 2 SETS OF BRAKES, ONE SET OF ROTORS AND TURNED ROTORS. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT IGNITION RECALL AFTER CALLING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT LIGHT STILL ON AND YET ANOTHER SET OF BALD TIRES. CALLED GM AND THEY OFFERED RENTAL CAR UNTIL IGNITION PARTS COME IN BUT WILL REPLACE ESC SENSOR AT MY COST. NO INVESTIGATION AS TO STABILIZATION ISSUE OF CAR OR WHY IT IS CHEWING UP TIRES AND PULLING TO THE LEFT. THE CAR IS STILL UNSAFE. A GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. AWAITING YET ANOTHER RESPONSE FROM GM. THIS CAR NEEDS SERIOUS INVESTIGATING. AN ACCIDENT IS AT HAND. THEY ONLY WANT TO SELL ME TIRES AND PARTS. THE SHAKE IS DANGEROUS AND THE ESC AND TRACTION IS DISENGAGED AT PRESENT. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. [XXX] AT GM HAS BEEN NICE BUT NOT HELPFUL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DRIVER ARMREST SAGS; MOST UNCOMFORTABLE!! WHEN ARMREST IS PUT DOWN TO THE HORIZONTAL POSITION, IT SAGS (LEANS FORWARD). DRIVER'S RIGHT ARM BECOMES PAINFUL, AS IT IS CONTINUALLY SLIDING OFF THE FRONT EDGE OF THE ARMREST, WHEN DRIVING. I'VE HAD THE CAR TO THE DEALER; HE REPLACED THE ARMREST IN WARRANTY, BUT THE LEANING FORWARD POSITION IS JUST THE SAME---IT WAS NOT CURED. THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING FURTHER TO BE DONE. INCIDENTALLY, THE PASSENGER'S ARMREST IS JUST FINE---IT IS POSITIONED AT THE PROPER RIGHT ANGLE. INCIDENTALLY, NOONE HAS SAT ON, OR HEAVILY LEANED ON THE ARMREST TO CAUSE THE DIFFICULTY. SURE WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP WITH THIS AGGRAVATING PROBLEM. *TR
