This is an update to file# 10597005 you already have the information about our 2010 chevy Hhr, electrical issues, and about things shutting down before the new ignition switch was installed. And I informed you that the air bag warning light came on after the new switch was in, making it very dangerous to drive. On the week of June 10th, 2014, I informed you that we were left with no car for a day and a half, because serra Chevrolet in southfield, michigan was too backed up. Like they have been since the recall. Update, as of today, June 18th, 2014: 1. The airbag fuse was missing. The airbag light still comes on, periodically as well as the anti-theft light. 2. On June 14th, 2014, my husband edwin was stranded and had to be towed because of the new keys to the ignition switch, stopped working and the car would not start. Once home, after being towed, our son, suggested trying the other key. And it worked. Something is wrong with the brand new keys. We are here, wondering, when will the second key go out, stop working while driving etc. !!! 3. We need to take the car in. But we were told that because we just got a notice about the power steering, that it's best to wait until we bring that in for that. But. . Once again, the parts are not in!!!!! gm need to take this car back, or give us something else to drive until it can be fixed. We do not feel safe at all!!!!! thank you.

Key fob is inoperable except for the locate car option. Unable to lock/unlock doors or arm security system. Got a new battery and thought that might fix it, but it's still inoperable. This car is barely 6 years old and it should not be having all of these problems. This car that was rated with one of the highest safety ratings for it's type and that is why I purchased it. Now I cannot even arm the anti-theft device to safeguard my car and anything in it. Windows don't roll down, door handles break off, the electrical system is not reporting the correct information, the steering is locking up and the previously recalled ignition switch is not performing correctly.
The above vehicle has been in for repairs 6-7times for intermit anti-theft light coming on while driving and a recall for anti-theft/air bag malfunctions. Intermittingly the car will also not recognize the key(s) and will not start. My concern for safety is when the car begins to ding while I'm driving and then the anti-theft light comes on it will also decide to stall because it does not recognize the key and thinks it's being stolen. (it has not done that yet, but it is a fear). I had the chevy 2014 anti-theft/airbag recall Aug 2014. In Dec 2014 my air bag light came on with a warning to repair. In Jan 2015 the anti-theft light came on 2 times. Walker jones chevy of waycross, GA detected no code for air bag. The anti-theft code revealed unrecognized key but no code to repair (Jan. 2015) the light has come on 5 times and not started on one occasion, since the recall repair. I am told by mechanics that the light must be on for them to retrieve a repair code. However, when the car is shut off the light goes off. The anti-theft light problem can wait months before surfacing again. I believe it could be dangerous to drive because of past cases of other similar cars with anti-theft/airbag issues. I have contacted chevy corporation but since I did not purchase a bumper to bumper warranty and no repair codes come up to show how to fix the problem its not their responsibility.
