Although this vehicle is a 2010 Hhr, it has less than 23000 miles on it, has been garaged kept and maintained impeccably. The warning light blinks at random and then the power steering fails. It does not matter the speed of the vehicle and happens at random. Once turned off and restarted, the power steering works for approx 5 minutes and then fails again. There was a recall on 2009-2010 Hhrs for sudden loss of power steering issued in 3/2014, recall # 14v153000. This recall is not VIN# specific. However, when I contact the dealer for repair of this vehicle, I am told that the recall does not pertain to my VIN#, so its not covered. Nhtsa has more than 135 complaints about Hhrs since 10/2019 with more than half of them being steering issues. This clearly is a wider recall issue than originally thought. My vehicle is inoperable due to this safety issue. I filed a complaint with gm. They told me it was not their issue and I could pay to have it diagnosed and fixed at a dealership. This is a gm issue due to the amount of complaints about this exact problem from other owners. I am hoping gm is made aware of the widespread issues and does the right thing, issuing another recall for all 2009-2010 Hhrs regardless of VIN#.

Power steering goes out while driving.

My power steering is going out randomly making it unsafe to drive, I see there's a recall for 2010 chevy Hhr power steering which is exactly what's happening with my vehicle. When I turn it off and turn it back on it will work for a minute then click and go back out, yet when my VIN was ran the recall doesn't show up for my car even though the recall states 2010 chevy Hhr. . Mine clearly has the same issue as the other recall yet you guys haven't put it on my VIN so it can be fixed properly.

Recently, without warning, I loose the power steering and the sign "power steering " comes on. It becomes very difficult to make a turn. When I stop the car and restart it, the steering is back to normal but after a few seconds it goes out again. That has been happening for the last 1 or 2 weeks. I called the dealer yesterday and told them about it and asked if there was a recall, they said that my VIN number was not affected by it. I know from research that quite a few cars had the same problem and that there was a recall. How do they know that my VIN number is not affected by it. Can you please investigate it? thank you!.

Our chevy Hhr 2010 has been dying and stalling out on us while we are driving it, the only time it had power going to it was when it was being jumped. Even then soon as the cables were unhooked it would jerk then die right away. It seemed as if most of the lights inside and outsided of the truck only would flash while jumping it, then nothing. It was also very difficult to turn the steering wheel, and everything basically seems like it's mailfunctioning. This has been on and off for a few weeks now but I dont know how to fix it, nor can I even start it at this point,but I definitely dont feel safe driving it the way it is right now being that it powers completely off whenever it wants to. It was in motion a few times on city streets, and in motion turning when it died for this last time. Its now parked on a street unable to drive it.

Electric power steering quits working at times making steering difficult. When this happens a chime sounds and a message appears on the instrument panel. There have been recalls on other models and maybe even this model but for some reason it does not register for my VIN . I have not been involved in a accident.

Approximately two minutes after leaving a city parking lot during the process of making a left turn on a busy four lane road a chime was heard and the display read power steering. At this point the power assist was lost and the cornering steer effort was very strong. I reduced speed causing traffic difficulties but was able to steer back into the lane. Drove slowly down street. Pulled over and shut of car. Restarted car and power assist returned and alarm was cleared. Car has 72,900 miles on it. It is my wife's vehicle and as she was a passenger during this incident she will not operate it now. Have driven it for a week with no re-occurrence. If unprepared this failure could have serious consequences.

Then drove for about 1 hour and it did not fail again today.

2010 chevy Hhr @ 60000 aproximate miles the power steering stops functioning after start up. Steering usually stops functioning after 1 or 2 mins after starting. . Doesnt matter if car is standing or moving.

1) the turn signals have failed to cancel after a turn on an intermittent basis since the car was new. 2) recently, the turn signal will not hold in the on position on a left turn and has to be manually held down to actuate the signal for the entire turn. 3) at the same time, the right signal will no longer automatically cancel and has to be manually turned off after a turn. These are issues because you either have the turn signal not on during a cross traffic turn when you thought it was engaged, or you have it on when you thought it had automatically shut off.
