Brake Disc Rotor Problems of Chevrolet HHR

My Hhr had the rotors turned at less than 12k miles, now at 29k miles it needs it again. We do not drive the vehicle hard and brake fast. It is far from normal wear. Also, no large hills to drive up/down.

My Hhr has been in the shop 4 times since I purchased it in may of last year because of shaking when I brake. The rotors were filed down and this last time in January 08 they said they replaced a part that should keep the problem from occurring again. Now, about 7k miles since the last time, the problem is back. The dealership tried to tell me it was the way I drive, but I have been driving more than 24 years and have had dozens of cars and have never had this happen. It is quite obviously a problem with the car (especially after reading numerous complaints on various web sites). I am going to attempt to have them replace my car with another model, but suspect I will take a huge hit.

At 9,700 miles,my car would shake bad when brakes were applied, dealer turned the rotors, helped for awhile. At 24,000 miles the same thing started, rotors were turned for a second time. I believe they should be replaced, the problem will more than likely happen again. Thank you.

When coming to a stop doing 40 or higher the steering wheel vibrates. Had to have the rotor turn again just had them turned at 17,511 miles and now at 25,124 miles that is on 7613 since the first time. It is not my driving either!.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Hhr. The contact stated that the front rotors were resurfaced twice at the time the vehicle was purchased. The rotor failure makes the vehicle very difficult to stop while driving, and also causes the steering wheel to shake. The failure was recently noticed while driving 25 mph. The contact believes this is a safety issue because a crash could occur. The current mileage was 20,000 and failure mileage was 14,900.

I've had chronic problems with the front brakes, rotors, alignment and tires on the front end of my 06 chevy Hhr. The vehicle began shaking violently when the brakes are applied. I took the vehicle back to the dealership at 2000 miles and 12000 miles and each time they had to turn the rotors and it seemed to temporarily resolve the problem. Now I'm at 29000 miles, the problem has started again. The dealership says the rotors and front brake pads have to be replaced. I've owned many new vehicles in my life since my father is retired from general motors, and I've never ever had to replace the brakes or have the rotors turned for that matter. The dealership has tried telling me that the problem is a result of my driving habits and failure to service the calipers. I've had the car in the dealership repeatedly for this and other chronic problems and they've never mention that the calipers need any servicing. Additionally, I'm 40 years old and the car is driven about 3/4 of a mile back and forth to work and not much more. To make matters worse, since my last tire rotation the left front tire has become almost completely bald. This is bizarre because I've been vigilant about rotating my tires every 6000 miles as recommended. The dealership has agreed to replace the rotors at their cost, but this problem needs to be covered and repaired 100% at gms expense. It's a result of poor design. They need to admit that there is a huge problem and pay for the necessary repairs.

Steering wheel shakes left & right when stopping speed 40 miles per hour and up. The 1st time the Hhr was in for this problem was 3 months ago 15,550 miles. Dealer said they could not find any thing that it could be the road as I was driving on. Took it in again at 17,500 this time it was the rotors where warped. Dealer machined the rotors.

Steering wheel and front end shaking violently when braking. Brought into dealership @ approx 27,000mi and told rotors needed to be resurfaced because they were warped. Manager said they were warped due to "driving habits", brakes getting wet-then used, and/or hard stops. This has never been the case with any other vehicle I've driven for a comparable amount of time.

We have a chevy Hhr '06. Had it for about a year and the car started to shake when I put on the brakes. My wife then brought it to the dealership and they said the rotors were warped. . . Instead of putting new rotors on they resurfaced the existing ones. . . Probably cheaper to warranty. We'll, 2-3 months later the car is shaking again and now the car is out of warranty. This is a well documented problem for this make&model. Gm needs to have an immediate recall for the 2006 chevy Hhr so they can fix the rotor problem. Me and my family would feel safer on the road.

Driving home from out of state, applied brakes and steering wheel shuddered violently, with reduced braking ability. Took to dealer, diagnosed warped rotors. The same problem had occurred three months earlier, at 20,000 miles. Vehicle now has 24,000 miles. Rotors were resurfaced both times.

Front brake rotors warping. Had them cut twice at dealer. Out of warranty know, I waited to long for the 3 rd. Fix ( family emg. ) know I have to pay.
