Instrument Panel problems of the 2006 Chevrolet HHR

Turned on the ignition and the dashboard gauges all went out. Pulled the fuse and reinserted it - problem corrected. T/c indicator on instrument panel came on and the transmission was upshifting hard. Again, I removed and reinstalled the fuses and the problem went away. Power steering warning was displayed on the dash and the power steering was disabled. I removed and reinstalled the fuse associated with the power steering and the problem went away. I did notice that most of the fuses were mildly oxidized on one leg of each fuse.

To whom it may concern, I recently had repair work done on my wife's 2006 Hhr lt2. The problem we were having was that she would randomly lose power steering with a warning chime and a notification on the instrument panel. This would be temporarily resolved by restarting the vehicle. I wasted little time and had it tested at classic Chevrolet in sugar land,TX. They soon discovered that the power steering motor was faulty. I had them replace it. Now I've been a lifelong gm customer and I was very disappointed with this expense, not only was it a failure unassociated to neglect but it was also a very dangerous problem. This problem is also highly documented on the web by many other Hhr owners. After gm announced the recall of 1. 3mil vehicles with this problem. The Hhr was not listed yet but the chevy cobalt and pontiac g5 were. The Hhr shares the same power steering motor as the cobalt and g5. Gm part # 20763801. Jtekt north America is the producer of this motor. From what I discovered on the internet, gm has filed a lawsuit against jtekt in response to this issue. It is still unclear to me how gm has not included this model in there recall. I have recently been denied reimbursement by Chevrolet for my expenses.

I own an 2006 Chevrolet Hhr-- the instrument panel lights up when you start up but soon it goes out. I can not see the speed at which I am going. My dealer tells me many owners complain about this and there is nothing they know to fix it. This is really a safety concern. Find out why this happens.

The outside temperature gauge consistently "sticky" or reads inaccurate outside temperature. Only after driving an average of 45mph for at least 3 or 4 minutes will the gauge update. Typical city driving never allows for the 45mph average and thus gauge continually sticks at the morning colder temperature. Only after 2 hours will the gauge update properly so if running errands less than 2 hours and not driving freeway the gauge never updates and sticks at the low morning temperature.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Hhr. At less than 25,000 miles, the brakes would occasionally roll when the brake pedal was depressed. The dealer stated that the rotors did not need to be replaced at that time, but advised the contact to keep an eye out. Currently, the failure has worsened and the contact has scheduled an appointment to see the dealer. The instrument panel lights, which indicate how many miles the vehicle has or how much oil is remaining, illuminate on and off intermittently. Occasionally, when the key is turned in the ignition, the engine turns over but the vehicle does not start. The current mileage was 30,000 and failure mileage was 22,000.
