Ignition Switch problems of the 2010 Chevrolet HHR

This a recalled 2010 Chevrolet Hhr. We had the ignition switch recalled, power steering system recalled, and right after the ignition switch was installed, the keys stop working and we had to get towed. Now, the airbag light came on. And when we went to re-start the car, nothing. The power went totally out, and the key is still stuck in the ignition switch. About a few weeks ago, we got another recall notice from gm that the transmission shifter may not properly transmit an electrical signal properly that will cause the key to stay in a lock position. We are now stranded. And we have to once again get the car towed to the dealer and pay for a rental. And there are still so many recalled cars at the dealer that they are so behind. All of this is going on while gm is showing off their new cars at the detroit auto show. Cars that will probably soon be on another recall list. Enough is enough!! all chevy Hhr owners who have had more the one recall on it, should be allowed to turn the car in without penalty or charge. All car notes should be cancelled!-thank you.

*this an update on file number-# 10672324-2010 Chevrolet Hhr-shifter problem on my last filing I stated that we had another recall on our 2010 Chevrolet Hhr. Previous recalls were the ignition switch and the power steering system. But I found out that the key getting stuck when the car is in park, is not a official "recall ,but it should be! we received a letter warning us of the problem and if it occurred, gm would fix it for free. Well, as I reported , it did happened. My husband parked the car, and we were preparing to go to his doctor"s' appt. & to an evening service & the key got stuck. No power, no nothing, we tried everything. And that thing that the manual said would help us release the key, was not there. So the car, sat there draining the battery. Dr. Appt's were missed. And because we both had appt's coming up, we had to rent a car. But to sum it all up. When the toll driver came, he was able to jump the car, and the key came out. After taking the car to the dealer, they could not duplicate the problem. They said that the battery was gone. But it was fine before the key got stuck. They refused to change the shifter. We got a new battery, and are praying that we won't get stranded if it happens again. And we are going to continue to fight for ourselves and for others! no reimbursement for the battery or the rental. We have made our complaints to the management at the dealer & to gm. And one more thing, our first sign of trouble before parking the car, was that the air bag light would not go off. An issue also after the new ignition switch was put in. This is a recall item. But once again, gm cares more about saving a dime. Not lives. Not a safety issue? I can think of few scenario's that say that they are wrong!-thank you, and "be blessed" pastor d.

I am getting the runaround from rydell Chevrolet in northridge, CA with regard to this recall. Called shortly after receiving first recall notice to order parts, told no parts available yet. Went in for service in August, ordered the parts for the recall. Called in September because I hadn't heard anything over 3 weeks and was told I didn't need to order parts, they had them and no problem, come in and get repaired. I couldn't come until this month, I called for an appointment to replace the recall parts, appointment tomorrow morning. Received a call today, no parts available for the recall repair will have to order them. Really??? I have 2 pieces of mail I received Friday, 11/21/14 that say "your ignition switch recall parts are now available" with the info for rydell northridge, CA inviting me to make an appointment now! this is ridiculous!. Gm may want to fix these problems but the dealerships sure do not.

No accident has occurred; I would like to know why it takes so long to remedy the recall(s) on my vehicle; the first notice was received dated April 2014 from gm regarding the ignition switch. The next recall letter was received on may 11, 2014 and I immediately called my local gm (cecil clarke Chevrolet) in leesburg, florida to be put on the 'list' for the required parts/replacements. On June 17th, I called cecil clark again and was advised that although they were receiving 4 - 5 replacement kits a day, mine had not come in yet. Now I have a safety recall for June reference the eps and that parts are not currently available. I have done what I need to do, I drive only when I have to now, and although I follow the safety rules reference removing all items from the ignition key, I do not feel safe while driving anymore. Please can you find out why it takes so long to get parts for a very safety related issue. I thank you in advance.

I was backing up out of a parking stall the power steering suddenly stopped working , that is on recall along with the ignition switch we called may 20 2014 no parts for the ignition switch still no parts for that now another recall this time electrical power steering . . . . . Sunday july6 2014 at 11:30 am power steering suddenly went out call gm road side assistance got a tow to h&h chevy omaha ne . Then first thing Monday morning went in and got a loaner car. The service guy stated that gm does't no how to fix the power steering problem nor do they have anyone to fix it and no part to fix it with so it could be a month or longer we have to drive a chevy cruze which for someone with a very bad back and arthritis in knees and back bad car not comfortable. I think gm needs to just scrap all these cars and buy them back from the ppl and pay off there loans. I am looking into buying a different brand of car. One the corporation will communicate better then gm is now the company of we wont say a word til you get hurt. Dealerships telling owners to just drive your cars but becareful til they do get the part in.

Greetings NHTSA, I am writing to document some things about our 2010 Chevrolet Hhr. Yes, it was part of the recall, but I need for you to be inform of some things, that I pray can help someone else: 1. Power issues: the power would act so crazy that we never knew when it was going to shut off. Exp. This past winter, the blower motor would blow cold air, while it was freezing outside! or it would not work at all, then, the blower heater would come on, just by turning the ignition on. . And it would blow hot air. And it would not turn off, unless the key was out of the ignition. The dash would get very hot, showing a potential for a fire. Apparently, each time a fuse had blown out. We would replace it and in three weeks it would go out again. Something electrical must of been going on. There was also, power steering concerns. 2. We took it in to serra Chevrolet in southfield, michigan to have the ignition switch replace. We were given a rental, and it took over three weeks for the part to arrive. We were hoping that the ignition switch was causing the problem and that it would go away, once replaced. 3. On June 4th, 2014-the parts came in. . 4. On Thursday, June 5th, 2014, the new ignition switch was replaced. The next day, June 6th, 2014, the blower motor went crazy again, and the airbag warning light came on. ( with all of the issues with the car, the airbag light never came on until the new ignition switch was installed. 5. Afraid of an airbag disaster today, June 9th, 2014, my husband took the car back to serra Chevrolet in southfield, michigan. They are so backed up, with cars. They cannot even look at it until tomorrow. My husband was dropped off, no rental no loaner! and now we are without a car, thank you.

Returning home from dinner with my husband, he put the car in park, and the ignition switch would not turn off, though he repeatedly tried. With the engine still running, we had no recourse but for him to take it to a Chevrolet dealer 30 miles away, where they said they would have to replace the ignition switch, and reprogram the computer and key fobs. This is a known defect with the Hhr. Why has there not been a recall? they have even manufactured a replacement part for this, so they know there is a problem. It will cost us over 300. 00 to get this replaced, and I don't feel it is our fault that this has happened, to us, and the many other Hhr owners who are wondering where is the recall?? our car is a 2010 model, so it is not that old.
