I have a 2006 chevy Hhr lt with just 30k. Drove it off the lot with 3 miles and at 200 miles it had the rotors turned for the first of about 30 times. The steering wheel shudders when breaking or at speeds above 45 mph so much so that at times the car is hard to control. The answer to this very dangerous problem is. . Turn the rotors. "normal wear and tear" this is not acceptable to me anymore. My car has had issues with the shocks,the struts, the continued rotor problem, the steering wheel that shudders, and as of today, the power steering is going as well as the steering rack. The potential of me killing myself,my children, or the person next to me has become a reality. I have complained since practically driving it off the lot. Gm just refuses to pay, or do anything about this. I have been in touch with the ceo of gm as well as the north America president mark reuss I have expressed my concerns with the safety of the Hhr. And I have said that the answer is not to "just turn the rotors for the 35th time". There is something very wrong with this car, and it seems as though everyone that drives one has the same power steering,rotor,at the shudder of the steering wheel. I have plunked nearly 2k into a car that gm needs to be responsible for. An urgent recall needs to be issued or I see the potential of a Toyota problem on the horizon for gm and their chevy Hhr. I really believe it is going to take someone or maybe many to be injured or worse yet dead before gm will look into this further. The world headquarters told me yesterday that there are no other complaints like mine and I shouldn't believe what I read. They have closed my case and refuse to listen any longer. I know this is not my driving, I am not hard on the brakes, nor have I caused the rotors needing to be turned so many times on the lathe that they are like putting bicycle brakes on a freight train. Car is a bit too heavy to stop when you have rotors that are dangerously thin.
The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Hhr. The contact stated that the front brake rotor keeps warping and the vehicle pulls when the brakes are depressed. The failure occurs while driving 45 mph. The vehicle has been to the dealer twice, but the failure persists. The current mileage is 18,400 and failure mileage was 9,000.
