The door handle is made of plastic and it fails. The plastic cracks and you can't open the door from the inside. Mine broke.

They replace the ssr handles with metal. There are 40,000 members on the Hhr forum and a lot more cars on road. Please address this issue.

In the last 6 months I have had both front door handles one on the drivers side and one on the passenger side break off. It looks based on my research this is a problem in all Hhr vehicles. This is not save not having handles on the inside of the door. I live in michigan and with winter approaching I need to have handles on the inside.

I attempted to open my 2010 chevy Hhr's rear passenger door. The door would not open. All other doors are opening ok. The rear driver's side passenger door would not open under any circumstances. This an extremely dangerous situation. Not being to exit a vehicle under emergency circumstances can cause serious injury or death. It is my understanding that although gm is aware of this problem they have done nothing about it. The gm dealer I brought the vehicle to told me it was my problem, not gm's. I have faced multiple issues with this vehicle; key stuck in ignition, power steering fail while driving, multiple sets of brakes burnt out, inside driver's door handle breaking off and now this new issue with the door. The NHTSA really needs to urgently address the multiple problems with this vehicle and hold gm responsible for their poor engineering and quality control, before someone else loses their life.

On 3/7/13 my service air bag light came on the next day my door handle broke off and I called gm and they stated they had been no recalls for these problems. After looking online I saw that people were having all kinds of problems with these issues and they are both big safety issues. I feel like gm is not wanting to take care of these issues. The air bag could deploy at any time and the if I was in a wreck or auto was on fire I'd have no way of getting out the vehicle with the door handle broke off. They just told me it was up to me or I'd have to wait until they was enough complaints. That doesn't seem right now I'm having to leave the car sitting cause of these safety issues since I'm on a limited income and gm should be responsible for these safety issues. Thank you very much.

Both inside front door handles broke off before the car was 2 years old. I am disabled and with the other problems I am reporting that are related to this car, this is a serious safety issue that would trap me in the car if there were ever an accident. With the windows not being able to be rolled down from the driver's side control panel it is impossible to open the two front doors if you don't have small enough fingers to reach inside the door and unlatch the mechanism. Everyone I have spoken who has an Hhr are also having the same problems.
