My steering wheel begins to violently shake, onset about 10 minutes into driving, speeding up or braking has no effect on the frequency or level of shake. My steering wheel will be normal, about 10 minutes into the drive, going the same speed will begin to shake. I can stop and park the car, restart it, will not shake until I am driving again about 10 minutes into the drive. While shaking, it becomes very difficult to move the steering wheel even to get into the next lane. This has happened while city driving, I am too afraid to take it on the highway or go over 40 mph as I feel like I have no control of the vehicle when the steering wheel shakes.
I have had my Hhr 2009 for a year now and I've changed the brakes twice within two weeks. . The first set was still new but it kept making grinding noises and roaring noises when I press down on brakes. . . My steering wheel shakes like crazy I really do love my car and I wanna get the problem resolved ASAP.
The steering wheel turns to right by itself while driving slow. I have to hold the steering while real tight and firm to stop it from turning right. On Aug 26 2017 at 5pm, I was ready to make a slight right turn, but the steering wheel took control over me, the car turned right by itself before I turned the steering wheel. This morning while driving in slow traffic, the steering wheel turned towards right, I had put strength and hold firm and strong with my hands on steering wheel to stop it from turning right by itself. While driving fast, I felt the steering wheel vibrate towards right and heard vibrating sound. . . It could be life threatening if the steer wheel is out of control.
