2008 chevy Hhr with intermittent power steering failure. Chevy cobalt had a recall on the same power steering motor Hhr uses, why is there no recall on Hhr???!!!.
I have a 2008 Chevrolet Hhr that has the identical power steering system as the cobalt that has been recalled, however gm has not recalled the Hhr for some reason. I am now having the identical problems with my chevy Hhr power steering as reported with the cobalt. In the past few days the power steering has failed 6 times, including once on a highway, traveling 55 miles an hour between semis. It was quite scary. I took the car in for an oil change and asked that they check the power steering fluid and it was there at the jiffy lube that I was informed that the car did not take power steering fluid and that there was a recall on some chevys for this problem. I have heard nothing about the Hhr but I see from searching there are several other people like me posting blogs and comments about their problem.
Chevrolet Hhr is not listed on this site! please update your vehicle listing. My 2008 Chevrolet Hhr is having several problems, it contains the same power steering pump as the chevy cobalt which was recalled yet no recall has been issued for the chevy Hhr. Same symptoms as the cobalt. Power steering failure message on the driver information display. Please help. Chevrolet is taking the cheap way out and putting lives at risk.
