Failure Date: 02/12/2019

Airbag system service is illuminated on the dashboard however all the sensors were replaced several times as long as it says service airbags the system is not active nor working so a crash is guaranteed to kill you and the seatbelt retraction system is also affected it extends fine but in the event of a crash it will not lock even under hard braking this same problem exisists so if it wont lock you will feel the steering wheel on your face and chest I have made a chevy dealer aware of this but they said dont worry the system will work fine ignore the service airbag warning vehicle in motion on city street or highway driving the vehicle does not matter system has a flaw in it and gm wont fix it.

Failure Date: 01/04/2018

First my airbag system started coming on saying service airbags and the sensors are all new, second the service esc comes on intermittently causing vehicle to shift extremely hard from 1st gear (automatic tranny) braking system was working fine and all of a sudden the brake pedal goes to the floor no brakes and the fluid is full and the system was working just fine after making gm aware of this their response to it all is the vehicle is out of warranty and there is nothing they can do but this was an issue from date of mfg and gm refuses to fix or correct the ongoing issues all of these things have happened on city streets and highways if NHTSA cant help with this issue then I have no where left to turn except either to a morgue or a scrap yard.

5 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem of the 2010 Chevrolet HHR

Failure Date: 03/21/2014

I own a 2010 Chevrolet Hhr. While driving approximately 75 mph in the fast lane on I-75n. The power steering sensor light had illuminated and the power steering suddenly malfunctioned making the steering wheel stiff and almost impossible to move. I was somehow able to safely across 3 lanes to off ramp, luckily immediately to the right was able to glide into a parking lot. Parked the vehicle and turned ignition off, checked all fluids under hood, read manual and advised to take keys out and restart. So I restarted the engine and the vehicle operated as normal, the warning signal was gone and wheel was moving. I reported this to gm immediately and have taken vehicle to dealership, where they do not seem to be acting as if this is urgent. They have stalled 2 days now without diagnosing, they will not provide me with a loaner vehicle and therefor I have no choice then to continue to drive the vehicle, knowing the severe threat it has to myself and others on the road. This car is a death trap. I have had numerous issues with this vehicle. I take it in for an issue atleast every other month. Also since steering issue have had the "air bag service" light has come on several times. Will have dealership check this malfunction out too. I think this means if my steering goes out and I crash, then I will not have an airbag to save me. . I call this car "christine"!! I am very upset that gm and the dealership do not handle this malfunction more seriously. Death trap!.
