FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STRUCTURE
2007 CHEVROLET HHR. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE FUEL LINE CORROSION AND FUEL LEAK ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHE NOTICED HESITATION WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE CONSUMER KEPT SMELLING GASOLINE. THE CONSUMER DID NOT BELIEVE THAT A RUSTED FUEL LINE WAS A MATTER OF NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OR OWNER NEGLECT. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE RUSTED FUEL LINE, HAD TO DO WITH THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. GM INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE ISSUE WAS PREVALENT WITH HER MAKE AND MODEL. HOWEVER, THERE WOULD NOT BE ASSISTING HER WITH THE MATTER. *JB

STEERING
TAKATA RECALL - WHEN IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY, DRIVING STRAIGHT, GOING INTO A TURN OR JUST TURNING AT ANY TIME MY POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE MY CHEVEY 2007 HHR SAFELY. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FIND ON YOUTUBE THERE ARE A LOT OF HHR OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE.

STEERING
CAR WILL LOSE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WITH A MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON THE INFORMATION CENTER "POWER STEERING". DOES NOT MATTER SPEED OR LENGTH OF TIME CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN. AT THIS POINT, THE POWER STEERING RETURNS TO NORMAL WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. RECALL FROM GM HAS ONLY 2009-2011 HHR, BUT MANY OTHER OLDER HHR 2006-2008 HAVE EXACT SAME ISSUES ACCORDING TO HHR FORUMS. CHEVY EVEN SENT US A NOTICE IN JANUARY 2015 STATING THE POTENTIAL OF THE POWER STEERING FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO DATE FOR A RECALL TO FIX. THE HHR HAS 75,000 MILES AND DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT WAS RUDE ABOUT EVEN LOOKING THE CAR UP FOR RECALL INFORMATION OR HELPING US. THIS CAR HAS ONLY SEEN A CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR ANY SERVICE RELATED ISSUES.

WAS LOOKING TO SE WHAT IT WOULD COST TO REPLACE AND SEE ALL THESE PEOPLE HAVING SAME TROUBLE. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BY CHEVROLET IF IT'S THAT BIG OF A PROBLEM!!

STEERING
POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. CHIME SOUNDED, "POWER STEERING" APPEARED IN THE DIC. WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING WAS FINE. ACCORDING TO ALL THE RESEARCH I DID TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS TYPICAL OF A DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING MOTOR AND IS COMMON TO THIS MODEL WHICH HAS YET TO BE RECALLED.

STEERING
ON NOV 7, 2015, MY FAMILY RETURNED TO OUR CAR AFTER EATING, WHEN MY HUSBAND STARTED THE CAR HE COMMENTED ON HOW HARD IT WAS TO STEER, THEN THE WARNING LIGHT FOR POWER STEERING CAME ON. HE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE STEERING WAS FINE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING..WHY IS NOTHING BEING DONE??? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TO USE THIS CAR DAILY TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH FROM WORK AND ACCORDING TO THE OTHER REPORTS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT ANY TIME. THERE IS NO WAY I COULD CONTROL THIS CAR AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT POWER STEERING.

STEERING
I PAID 947 DOLLARS TO FIX THE POWER STEERING MODULE WHEN IT WENT OUT ON OCT 8, 2015. I TOOK CAR TO GET FIXED AT SISBARRO IN LAS CRUCES, NM. LIKE I SAID I PAID 947 DOLLARS TO GET IT FIXED. NOW TODAY I STOPPED TO SAY HELLO TO ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS AND WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT TODAY OCTOBER THE 31, 2015. IT'S GOOD THING MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR SHE COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR HURT SOMEONE ELSE. SO AGAIN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO SISBARRO IN LAS CRUCES, NM. I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT KIND OF EXCUSE THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE ME THIS TIME AND PROBABLY CHARGE ME ANOTHER 947 DOLLAR AGAIN.
