STEERING
THE IGNITION KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND CAN'T BE REMOVED. THE SHIFTER IS ALSO LOCKED OUT AND I CAN'T LEAVE MY VEHICLE WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HHR, COBALT AND IMPALA MODELS.

STEERING
HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY FOR YEARS, DID AN ONLINE SEARCH LATELY AND SAW MANY VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE INDICATING OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!! SOME HAVE REPORTED ONLINE THAT THEY HAVE HAD MAJOR ACCIDENTS AND CARS BEING TOTALLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. STARTED ASKING OTHER HHR OWNERS I KNOW AND EVERY ONE OF THEM, WITHOUT EXCEPTION HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. TALKED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY ALL SEEM TO KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. SEEMS TO BE A WELL-KNOWN DESIGN FLAW THAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY IGNORED BY NHTSA AND CHEVROLET. I PAID OVER $1,000 TO HAVE A STEERING MODULE REPLACED. LASTED LESS THAN A WEEK - PROBLEM CAME RIGHT BACK. THEY THEN WANTED ANOTHER $1,200 TO REPLACE ANOTHER MODULE. DECIDED TO "JUST LIVE WITH IT", SINCE I HAD GOTTEN USED TO IT AND COULD MUSCLE MY WAY THROUGH THINGS. MY WIFE CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. SOMETIMES IT TURNS ON AND OFF TWO OR THREE TIMES GOING THROUGH A TURN - HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF IT. MAY I ASK WHY NHTSA AND CHEVROLET HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR TRIED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? IS IT GOING TO TAKE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE DIEING, A MAJOR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, MAJOR NATIONAL MEDIA ATTENTION, ETC. FOR SOMEONE TO FINALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING MY 07 CHEVROLET HHR @ 45 MPH WHEN THE DASH DISPLAY BLINKED THEN DISPLAYED ENGINE POWER REDUCED, FOLLOWED BY A SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION OF SPEED. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE BEYOND 30 MPH, SO I PULLED OFF OF THE ROAD TO AVOID BEING HIT BY THE 18 WHEELER TRAVELING BEHIND ME. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I DROVE 15 MILES BACK HOME @ A SPEED OF 30 MPH. THE VEHICLE REFUSES TO ACCELERATE BEYOND 30 MPH
