On 3/28/14 I was driving on highway at 6:30am and my car just turned off displaying engine power reduced. Taken to dealer and they claimed it was notice and now it been 4 times this has happened. Recently on 10/11/14 I was driving home from work and stop at a red ligth when my car began to shake and on dash display message read engine power reduce which at this point my car cut off and would not start back up. . I waited about 10 min and turned it on again. . This proble has been recurrent since then and now my child safety latches when put on will not let doors close and when moved to open position the safety lock will not reposition itself to the open position. Recently on 10/07/14 my service airbags message displayed for no reason. I have contacted dealership and they dont know why this is happening but wont trade my car for another and I have contacted gm and still no one has helped me these issues. I fear for mine and my family life in this car.

I took my 2006 Hhr to the dealership and was told my car was not part of the recall. My car has exhibited the same problems as those described, but I was told the dealership would not look at my vehicle. I do not understand why my Hhr is not part of the recall while others are. I did not see where there was a distinction between some 2006 Hhr and others. The power steering goes out in my vehicle on a regular basis.

On my way to work I slowed down to change lanes to make a right hand turn to a parking lot. All of a sudden there was a major jolt and my foot was knocked off the gas pedal. The last thing I remember was looking down at my right foot and seeing it under the brake pedal and thinking I need to move my foot. I remember the emergency room for a moment when I asked them not to cut my clothes. My next memory is for a moment in icu and then I woke up in a hospital room a week later. According to the police report, the car crossed the two westbound lanes and hit a sign and fence, jumped the curb, and then hit shrubbery and several headstones at a memorial sales business. Police estimated my speed at 50 mph? I think the airbag deployed while I was driving. Possibly the ignition shut down causing the jolt and deployment. The car was totaled and I was disabled in this accident. I am unable to return to work. According to gm I am not eligible for a settlement because my airbag deployed. What difference does that make if the ignition caused the accident?.

The dealer stated that they did not know when the parts would be available to repair the vehicle. The contact is concerned about the remedy. The dealers will install an energy-absorbing plastic piece to the headliner trim. He is concerned that they are changing the design of the vehicle to a substandard feature that may be unsafe in a crash. Due to the contact's height, his head would be located closer to the plastic piece. The manufacturer did not provide any assistance. There had been no failure to date. The current mileage was 30,000.

Airbag deployed while sitting in a pizza hut driver for no apparent reason.
Good day. I'll keep this brief. To be clear, I went to the dealer (autonation USA) with the recall issue shortly after it occurred the first time, and a couple of other times after that. I was told that I was too short, fat, and my knee was knocking the key out of the ignition. My key never fell out of the ignition, but the car did shut off, losing control of all electrical systems while at 70+ mph. Secondly, I have gone in to the dealer for my transmission as well. The car began to slightly jerk at around 60k miles. I was told they didn't notice anything, however, they never checked the transmission, and I was told they could do nothing. When the matter got really bad, the mileage was over 100k, and out of warranty. I have brought it to their attention that I attempted to clear this up prior, and was told they would have to treat it as a new issue. I'll make it easy. When I have had the ignition issues nearly kill my family and myself on more than 30 occurrences, the dealer fixing a small, inexpensive item, because they have been exposed, does little to quell the anger I have regarding the various other issues I have regarding warranty maintenance they could have completed while under warranty, and instead chose to belittle me and now wish to charge me obscene amounts of money to repair. Gm should offer to complete the maintenance at no cost considering I have gone to them prior to the close of the warranty and was ridiculed and further, made to have my family's life in danger 30-40 times so they could save some money. Further, I understand it is not legally required for them to do anything, however, doing the right thing goes a long way. I have spoken to gm about the issues a couple of times now only just simply be told they were sorry and I should have the situation diagnosed (needlessly). This is the first I've heard of this website so I'm trying now. Thanks.
