My battery went out on me. Then I had it replaced and then the power steering went out. I noticed that they was a recall on it. Also that this has happen to so many other folks.

While operating, my vehicles power steering shuts off and my "power steering" alert appears on the dash. If the car is shut off, and turned back on it works properly; and then shuts off again randomly. This happens nearly every time I drive it, sometimes several times. There is nothing consistent with driving conditions, speed, duration of driving when it occurs.

Once the vehicle was turned off the steering was returned. And then it would go out again utnil the vehicle was turned off again. Upon searching the internet I saw that 1. 3 million vehicles were recalled for the exact same issue but the chevy Hhr was not one of them.

Power steering stopped working while driving. If I turn off the car and restart it, the power steering starts working again for a short time and then goes out again. With all the similar complaints I've been reading, Chevrolet should do a recall before someone gets seriously hurt.

My key won't turn the ignition on at all take you 5 mins just to get it to work.

It would not shut off. I cannot turn the key. I received a recall notice in October, but they said it was not my car. They refuse to fix it because it has too many miles and it is ruled a courtesy thing not an official recall. I am not happy,and have to disconnect wires under the hood to shut it off.

The power steering keeps turning on so it makes it hard to drive or steer and it cuts into my mpg.

2008 Chevrolet Hhr. Consumer requests reimbursement. The ignition lock cylinder was replaced.

Back in 2012 my seat belt warning chimes and all warning chimes quit operating. Since then about once a week the chimes and the radio quit for a few day's and then will come back on for a day or so. My biggest complaint is when it's not working you have no seat belt warning chime and I've caught my grand kids unbuckled a couple of times. I brought this to gm's attention but they didn't seem to think it was a warranty issue. I was told by my dealer it doesn't matter if the chimes worked or not. I seem to be the only person concerned and call it what it is, a safety problem!.

The electric power steering turned itself off mid turn causing a drastic understeering leading the vehicle into oncoming traffic, upon research I found that gm recalled the exact same steering components that failed in the Hhr in other gm vehicles but not the Hhr. If this does not warrant serious investigation what does. The second time this happened everything was fine as we were driving straight, the problem occurred when the electric power steering turned back on mid-turn causing my wife to over turn into someone's front lawn, had anyone been in the way this would have been tragic. We've been lucky this far but as we are a low income household we don't have the means to pay some dealer to fix this as they all say it's on us the owners to take care of even though it's the same defective equipment that was in vehicles like the cobalt and pontiacs lines, why hasn't there been a recall issued, this is a sever driving impairment that can cause accidents and gm doesn't seem to care due to it's an acceptable loss! no life is an acceptable loss, please address this issue as there are many complaints into this same issue in the research I preformed, by the way, why is it gm canada issued a recall on this part for the Hhr and not the us branch? our Hhr is a 2008 with 66000 miles on it and the electric power steering is the issue.

I took car into dealership because it's stalling in traffic repeatedly when I am trying to come to a stop and even once when just driving. I took it in and they said they didn't know what it was and diagnostics weren't reporting any problems. They released vehicle that next day and it stalled on me in lot. They stated they could not get the vehicle to stall yet it happened within five min of me picking it up. I then took it back they kept it for the weekend. Released it back to me after I was told it had stalled once but they didn't know what it was. I contacted g. M customer service and then the dealership when I got the report stated it hesitated and when I asked why they put that down and not that it had stalled like the kathy had told me on 3 different occasions it had done, they refused to answer me. The car still stalls in traffic and they refuse to fix it. I will no longer take it here. I just want my car to be safe where I won't get hit doing uturns into traffic like I almost have been with my baby the day I picked up vehicle. I have to put it in park to start it over again. I can't do that on this busy hwy I live on with traffic coming at me as fast as it does in this city.

The next day we took the 2008 chevy Hhr to the dealer in chino California on Feb,26,2009 . They kept the car for a couple of days,and could not find a problem.

The Chevrolet person I spoke with told me there were no recalls on my vehicles . I didnt build the vehicle so why am I getting punished for there mistakes. Some of the recall letter from gm recalls they want fix unless your having trouble. If they send you a recall letter why want they fix it right then. On one recall I had fixed it took then 2 years to figurer out they had not finished the repair. Do you call that safe? Chevrolet has made a vehicle that's loaded with problems. I feel that I am due a full refund. Chevrolet (gm) mislead people on this vehicle. I have a number of recall letters I'm sending you. I also have a recorded airbag recall phone call.

After purchase of a new 2008 Hhr on 22 September 2008, I drove the vehicle home and upon getting into it the next morning I backed out of my garage and notice a very soft brake pedal. I then started down the drive way and when attempting to stop at the street the vehicle's brakes would not comply with my brake pressure and the vehicle proceeded into the street. This became a routine situation upon "cold startup's" and when reported to the dealer,(john donoghue Chevrolet, whiteville, nc) after several poor stops, my salesman advised "yeah we know about it as we've had the same problem on 2008 solstices". When confronted with a possible fix he advised that " a part on the turbo fixes the problem. " I made arrangements to have the car serviced upon my return from vacation on or about 26 oct 08. I dropped the car off with the service writer/manager and no mention was made as to poten tial problems fixing the car. Upon my return several hours later I was advised by the service manager that the problem is systemic to 2008 turbo engines and general motors doesn't want to recall the cars. The dealership service manager provided me with a service bulletin that gm put out as a potential "fix" but he refused to service the car. I took the vehicle to another Chevrolet dealership and they readjusted the computer, per the bulletin; however, the vehicle still does not stop properly on cold startup. Gm customer service personnel and the bulletin advised that "they are working on the issue. ".

Ever since I have had this car that I bought new, there have been electrical problems. The dashboard lights just go off while driving down the road. When the dash lights blink back on , the lighting brightness switch does not work, the roller to make it brighter does not dim the dash lights, until they all just go off again. ? the tire sensors all go off and there is no readings for tire pressure. You check the tire pressure manually and they are all ok. The door locks don't work properly. If you use the key fob, the doors will lock and then you can't get them open again with the key fob and you are stuck. The key in the door won't even open the door, it is locked up tight. I have taken it into the dealer under warranty 3 times and they can find nothing wrong. I just don't lock my car anymore.
