STEERING
I WAS DRIVING INTO A PARKIN GLOT AND MY STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING AND I COULD NOT HARDLY GET IT IN THE PARKIN GLOT. I SAT FOR A WHILE AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT WORKED TO GET ME HOME. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT I SAW A STEERING PROBLEM BACK WHEN I HAD MY IGNITION RECALL FIXED. I NOW CANNOT FIND THAT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2006 HHR HAS A DEFECT WITH THE DOOR LATCHES. I HAVE ALREADY PAID ONCE TO HAVE IT FIXED, THEN IT BROKE AGAIN. NOW BOTH MY DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCHES ARE NOT WORKING. I FEEL THAT IF I GET THEM FIXED THAT THEY WILL BREAK AGAIN. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX THEM. IF I WAS TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT OR AN EMERGENCY HAPPENS I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT WITHOUT OPENING THE WINDOWS AND REACHING FOR THE OUTSIDE DOOR, IN WHICH I HAVE SHORT ARMS. I ALREADY HAVE GOT STUCK IN MY CAR ALREADY BECAUSE I WENT INSIDE WITHOUT MY KEY AND COULD NOT ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO GET OUT. I HAD TO CALL SOMEONE TO LET ME OUT. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY HHR LS THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2006. MY WIFE AND I ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S AND IT IS WHAT I DRIVE TO WORK DAILY. MY HHR CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000 MILES ON IT. I NORMALLY GET 29 TO 30 MPG ON AVERAGE, BUT OVER THE PAST MONTH I HAVE ONLY AVERAGED 26 TO 27 MPG. AFTER ARRIVING HOME, ON JANUARY 18TH OF 2017, I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE. I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR, WHERE UPON I NOTICED GAS DRIPPING FROM THE FUEL LINE NEAR THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE, JUST PAST THE FUEL LINE MOUNT, AND THE LINE LOOKS CORRODED. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND I HAVE IT SCHEDULED TO GO INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM. FROM EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE READ THUS FAR, I AM CONFIDENT THAT I HAVE A RUSTED AN LEAKING GAS LINE. I BELIEVE GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, THAT IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND THEY ARE JUST IGNORING IT HOPING IT GOES AWAY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL LINE RUSTED AND BEGAN LEAKING VERY BADLY. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE EVAP SYSTEM IN THE BEGINNING, BUT TODAY THE GAS SMELL WAS VERY STRONG, TO FIND IN A WALMART PARKING LOT, A PUDDLE OF FUEL BACK BY THE REAR TIRE. THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THEM, AND THERE PROBABLY WEONT BE TILL SOMEONE DIES; THE LEAK IS VERY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST ELBOW, BEFORE THE MUFFLER. I HAVE OWNED SEVEN CARS BEFORE THIS ONE, AND NOT ONE OF THEM EVER DEVELOPED BAD FUEL LINES, AND NEVER LEAKED FUEL. NOT EVEN A GAS TANK LEAK.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON THE CITY STREETS THE DOORS SUDDENLY UNLOCK THE LIGHTS FLICKER OFF AND BACK ON AND THE CAR JERKS AND THEN THE CAR DOES THE SAME THING AND LOCKS THE DOORS AGAIN AND THEN UNLOCKS THE DOORS AGAIN WITH THE HEADLIGHTS GOING OUT AGAIN AND BACK ON AGAIN JUST AS QUICKLY. IT DOES THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHILE DRIVING TO WORK OR TO RUN TO THE STORE OR WHERE EVER. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. NO CODES ARE SHOWING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE HAD IT TO THREE DIFFERENT GARAGES AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THE LAST DEALER TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR THERE AND EVERY TIME THEY GOT INTO THE CAR TO DRIVE IT TO SEE IF IT WOULD DO IT AGAIN FOR THEM IT WOULD COST ME RIGHT AROUND $130.00 EACH TIME. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT. I ASKED THEM IF IT COULD BE THE IGNITION AND THEY SAID NO. I DID HAVE THE RECALL DONE ON THE IGNITION SWITCH BUT AFTER READING MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS IT MAKES ME THINK THAT MAYBE IT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. HELP *TR
