Have owned 1- 2008 & 1-2009 Hhr ss with 2. 0l turbo charger and manual 5 speed trans,and right at 100,000 miles the front suspension makes a horrendous noise like the front suspension is going fall out from under it when hitting small bumps . Also if you move the steering wheel back and forth it will make a very similar noise. The 2008 got totaled from a lady pulling out in front of me had changed the sway bar end links prior to accident made no change. Meeting the same mileage on the 2009 and already making the same exact noise . Almost afraid to drive it on the freeway for fearing of loosing the steering and killing anyone. I have read up on this concern and have seen alot of people with same noise and have spent 1,000s of dollars and noise still there. You would think someone would have been able to correct the problem before there are deaths involved but even the dealership can't find the fix. Really feel like this should be investigated at once, can't believe that there hasn't been a recall done yet.

Car started smelling gas inside when driving and have to open the window to get some fresh air. A clicking noise, too much noise from the front suspension when turning or driving. . L took the car for oil change and the dealer tech did not want to drive the car stating that it's safety issues. They said the lower control arms has been wear out and that the "sway bar"is shorter wearing my tires. In just this year l have change the 4 tires twice. Discount tires said they have not seen such a thing before the wearing occures in the inside part of the tires. . . The entire front suspension is collapsing. Gm need to issues a recall for these issues. . . . The dealer gave me a repair quote of almost $3000 . . . Gm need to take responsibility of all these issues and offer a credit or repurchased the car back. . . L have children that l transporter back and forth to school and to hospital. . . And need a safer car. . .

The car since September 2014 has been rattling and shaking, and clunking continually. It feels as if the wheel is going to fall off. I've read numerous other complaints from this same vehicle and the cobalt with has the same suspension. Unfortunately I can't afford to pay for these repairs. It sounds like this should be recalled. Also to note, other complainers have stated that after they have paid to have the repairs, the same issue arise again.

A "clunking" noise from the front suspension when turning into a driveway or dip in street at 3 or 4 miles per hour. This problem has been taken to the Chevrolet dealership and to an independent auto repair shop where I was told the "lower control arms rear bushing was torn (rubber) and therefore allowing the arm to move to where it contacts the frame of the vehicle. This is dangerous, and could very well cause the steering to malfunction at a most inappropriate time resulting in a collapse of the front end suspension. I would like gm to correct this defect in engineering, and if they cannot to repurchase my vehicle so I can purchase a safe and more reliable vehicle.
