Starter Problems of Chevrolet HHR

The power steering went out as we were dealing with a starter issue. It indicated only once on the dash that there might be something wrong with the power steering. Now it's completely gone. The dash doesn't show any information that there could be an issue. It's very hard to take turns. Both wide or tight. It takes a lot of strength to get the steering wheel to move. If I drive it, moving from lane to lane is difficult. I now have it back in the shop for the mechanic to check it out and run a diagnostic test on the electrical system.

My car was involved in the ignition recall. . . Took it in had it all fixed. Now that same switch has gone faulty again. The car will not turn over. Acts just like the starter is going out, it slow to start and gets worse and worse till it will no longer start. I have had the battery replaced and starter(due to that seemed to be the issue. After digging deeper into the diagnostic code I have discovered that switch keeps coming up as an issue.

Car would not crank, replaced battery,had alternator and starter tested all good. Had to have vehicle towed to vehicle repair shop. Now the part that is needed is not available new so now my mechanic has went through three parts that have not worked. It has to do with the fuse box. Why hasn't this vehicle not been recalled if Chevrolet no longer makes this part? I see a lot of Hhrs on the road and sooner or later these cars will have the same problem. This same vehicle had stalled on me before and the Chevrolet dealership could not find the problem . I still owe for a vehicle that cannot be fixed. Somebody please help get this car recalled.

Vehicle ran fine entire day(12-20-2013), I parked to shop with my wife at a local mall. When we were ready to leave the vehicle would turn over and then immediately shut off. This happened at least 10 times, my battery was beginning to drain so I stopped. My wife and I decided to continue our shopping and come back to vehicle later. Once again I started the vehicle and it immediately shut off. I had to call a towing service (aaa) to tow us to a local repair shop. The next day I was told the vehicle started fine and they could not find any problem. The mechanic did tell us that the vehicle had previous error codes from last night pointing to ignition and starter units, but they found no problems. I have received numerous recall notices from gm describing this very thing and have requested a full refund of my towing fees ($95. 00 invoice#73066) and trying to set up my repair since the recall notices went out in April 2014. I have not heard anything since. Gm case # 71-1317180641 operator (jim).
