My car started giving me a charging system warning light. I had it checked, with no findings. The car stopped on me several times, yet always check out okay. The last time the battery was shorted, so I replaced it. The next day the car stopped while I was driving it. I had it towed to a shop, where it started up fine and didn't show anything on diagnostic. When I went to pick it up it started and then shorted out the computer. The computer was replaced, it started up, then started smoking and shorted out the new computer. I want to note that approximately two years ago, the power steering went out and shorted out the charging system, twice. It was repaired at Chevrolet in bakersfield.

Fuel leak in front of drivers side rear wheel. This is completely unacceptable in an 8 year old vehicle. The fuel line corroded and leaked heavily, cost me $254. 22 to replace this faulty gas line. I am obviously not the only person this has happened to. I have also had all the other typical problems such as the key will not release from ignition, bad rotors, loose front end bushings and excessive front end vibration over typical street cracks. Broken drivers side interior door handle, cracked windshield. . . . . .

This began with the power steering warning light coming on just as the power steering cut out . After shutting off the engine and restarting all was normal for about two minutes then the same thing happened . After looking on-line I saw that there are many complaints on this same issue and also that Chevrolet did issue a recall for this vehicle in canada but not in the USA , I also saw that there was a recall on another chevy model that uses the same power steering motor (which is the problem) . Once the motor fails it is extremely hard to control the car and on a highway this could cause a serious situation . In my case I had a dealer fix the car and they had to replace the main computer along with the power steering motor costing me over nine hundred dollars ! I am submitting this complaint for my grandson who currently owns the Hhr , I was the original owner .

Power steering motor shorted out, when we took it to chevy dealer we were told that gm would not sell the motor seperately as the steering column went out shortly after the power steering motor, and were also told there had been a recall on some Hhr's. The price to repair is $1500. I am 71 years old, my disabled husband is 72 years old and we only have social security as income. Tried to get some compensation from gm and after almost 3 weeks they told me they would not help me because I bought the car used from a dealer other than a chevy dealer, that it was out of warranty and over mileage. If the steering goes out there most likely be an accident of some kind. We have no other transportation, I do feel this is a definate safety issue. Any help you can provide to have gm honor the recall would be appreciated.

Was driving vehicle (chevy Hhr) at highway speed when a warning wassage displayed asyin power steering, a bell started dinging and stering the vehicle became difficult. I was in a curve on a hill. I wasw able to safely get off the highway and turned the car off, checked fuses, found no problem. Restarted the car and it started working again. Had now done this about 15 times after the car warms up or travelded about 20 miles. Has happened to my wife a few times and causes her didiculty in stering the car with her recovery from shoulder surgery. In researching on line and I see this car has been recalled in canada, and the same parts are used in the chevy covalt and has recalls for the problem in the us. Why not the chevy Hhr been recalled?.

The vehicle lost power steering control. A chime sounded and a message appeared on the instrument panel. The power steering cuts out regularly since, every time the vehicle is driven. I have contacted gm numerous times, they insist that my vehicle is not included in the recent power steering recalls even though it uses the same exact power steering motor as the vehicles that are included (my local Chevrolet dealer has verified this and has contacted gm on my behalf too). I am frustrated and angry that gm is still neglecting to address this safety issue.

Received letter from Chevrolet dated 1-2015 stating that "some 2006 Hhr's" may have a defect which causes power steering (ps) to fail at any time. Called local dealer to have it repaired but my car (VIN) is not on the recall list. The exact sequence of ps failure described in letter has occurred with my car multiple times but they, Chevrolet dealer, does not guarantee that this will be fixed without my paying the bill as it (VIN) is not on their list. My car should be entered into the recall list as this is a manufacturers mechanical defect and needs to be recalled and repaired at gm's cost. This is the 3ed letter (recall) on this car; ignition cylinder, transmission lock and now power steering!.

I had came back home and put the car into park, I turned the engine off, and tried to pull out the key and the key was stuck in the on position.

Power steering message on dash; security light comes on; rpm, speed, and gas gauges jump, transmission jerks, clicking in center console under shifter. After turning engine off for period of time runs like normal, restart an drive for period of time and power steering goes out while driving.

Chevrolet Hhr's have a TSB on the rear liftgage not opening. It is faulty and many complaints I have found via google. If a child or animal is trapped in the rear they cannot get out, there is no pull lever to open the liftgate. They would have to climb over the seats to get out during a potential fire.

My wife was driving on the freeway going 70 mph and all the alarms, indicating lights came on and then the care loss power.

I don't know if its an electrical problem tc light goes on and engine light goes on, car jumps alittle this has been happening for a while, this car is only 49000 miles I bought it brand new and paid it off like a Mercedes Benz since my credit was screwed up and now I am having problem am retired and wife not working please help us out I need my car to get around, I didn't think I was going to have any problems for 10 yrs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Hhr. The contact stated that the vehicle shifted out of park without the key being in the ignition. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 21,000 and the current miles was 43,590.

Originally the power steering stopped working randomly when driving but now it stops working after 30 seconds or so every time car is started and failure alert is displayed. Also while driving the power door locks unlocked, the gauges stopped working, the car hard shifted down, and it also started to display it was running at least 20 degrees hotter than normal. This has happened twice but seems fine later.

I am a 35 year old mother of 3 and I recently had a dangerous close call while driving my 2006 chevy Hhr. I was driving with my children on board and I suddenly lost power steering. I quickly managed to control my vehicle but it was a close call. I took my vehicle to my nearest chevy dealer for inspection. I was told what was the exact problem with the steering column and the estimated cost of repair would be $1600. 00. I went home and quickly researched into the problem. I found out that I was not the only owner of a chevy Hhr to have this similiar problem. I found out also that the chevy cobalt (which also has the same steering column) has a recall on it but not the chevy Hhr. It is only logical that the chevy Hhr should have a recall also because the steering column is identical. Public safety should be the number one concern.
