ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING 25 MILES AN HOUR ON DRY FLAT PAVEMENT MY ESC ACTIVE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD A VERY HARD TIME STEERING AND THE BRAKES WERE APPLYING THEMSELVES. I WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH NO WHERE TO PULL OVER. I AM LUCKY I DID NOT HIT ANYONE. AFTER 5 MINUTES OR SO IT WENT OFF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
1) THE TURN SIGNALS HAVE FAILED TO CANCEL AFTER A TURN ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW. 2) RECENTLY, THE TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT HOLD IN THE ON POSITION ON A LEFT TURN AND HAS TO BE MANUALLY HELD DOWN TO ACTUATE THE SIGNAL FOR THE ENTIRE TURN. 3) AT THE SAME TIME, THE RIGHT SIGNAL WILL NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY CANCEL AND HAS TO BE MANUALLY TURNED OFF AFTER A TURN. THESE ARE ISSUES BECAUSE YOU EITHER HAVE THE TURN SIGNAL NOT ON DURING A CROSS TRAFFIC TURN WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS ENGAGED, OR YOU HAVE IT ON WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT HAD AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
TWO OF THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES HAVE SNAPPED OFF AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. A MINOR FENDER BENDER COULD JAM THE DOORS AND THE HANDLES BE TOO WEAK TO OPEN THE DOOR MECHANISMS. IF A FIRE, OCCUPANTS WOULD PERISH. RECALL IN ORDER FOR ALL VEHICLES WITH PLASTIC INSIDE DOOR HANDLES. UPDATED 09/11/2017*JS

STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PARKED MY CAR IN A PARKING SPACE, TURNED IT OFF AND REMOVED THE KEY. I OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR, STEPPED OUT WITH MY LEFT FOOT AND THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARD, KNOCKING ME BACK INTO THE DRIVER SEAT. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE, CHECKED THE GEAR AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS NOT IN PARK. RECENTLY WITHIN THE PAST 24 HOURS, I HAVE HAD INCONSISTENT POWER STEERING PERFORMANCE. I WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH THEN SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT. AS I ENTERED THE TURN, MY DASH WARNING SOUNDED AND DISPLAYED "POWER STEERING." FROM THAT POINT, I HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING INTERRUPTION. I BOUGHT POWER STEERING FLUID ONLY TO DISCOVER (AFTER CHECKING ONLINE FOR THE LOCATION OF MY POWER STEERING RESEVOIR) THAT I HAVE AN ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THIS DISCOVERY LED ME TO THE 4 RECALLS SINCE THE MANUFACTURE OF MY VEHICLE... IGNITION FAILS AND POWER STEERING FAILS. I CHECKED MY VIN BUT IT COMES UP AS NO RECALLS ALTHOUGH MY CAR MEETS THE CRITERIA (2010 CHEVY HHR NON-TURBO). THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY TO TRANSPORT MY CHILD/FAMILY. HOWEVER I AM FORCED TO DRIVE IT IN ORDER TO MAKE MY LIVING. I WILL TAKE A PHOTO OF THE WARNING MESSAGE AND UPLOAD IT WHEN I GET ANOTHER... AS I AM POSITIVE I WILL GET ANOTHER FAULT WARNING ON MY WAY TO WORK IN THE MORNING. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2016... CURRENTLY THERE IS NO LIENHOLDER.
