FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS LINE IN LEAKING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEAR THE REAR WHEEL WELL. THE AREA IS WRAPPED IN A HEAT SHEILDING WRAP WHICH HOLDS MOISTURE. IM ASSUMING THIS IS WHY IT CAUSED THE GAS LINE TO RUST THROUGH.

STEERING
ADD RANDOM SPEEDS 30-80 MPH THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PUMP WITH SHUT OFF, RESULTING IN NO POWER STEERING WITH NO WARNING OTHER THAN THE LITTLE CHIME BEEP AFTER IT SHUTS OFF. THE PUMP WAS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE AND I WANT REIMBURSED BY DEALERSHIP. AT TIMES I WAS DOING OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR GOING AROUND CURVES AND TURNS AND IT WOULD SHUT OFF.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SUSPICION OF A FUEL LEAK WAS NOTICED BY OUR NOSES ABOUT A MONTH AGO. VISUALLY CONFIRMED 10-22-20 VIA VISUAL INSPECTION AFTER FUEL POOLS DEVELOPED AFTER VEHICLE USE AND PARKING IN GARAGE. APPEARS TO BE THE FUEL RETURN LINE, TOP LINE, NEAR THE LEFT REAR WHEEL IN THE AREA WHERE THERE IS HEAT SHIELDING ON THE LINES. I HAD THOUGHT THAT A FLEX FUEL VEHICLE WOULD HAVE HAD EXTREMELY CORROSION RESISTANT FUEL LINE MATERIAL. APPARENTLY NOT. A PERCEIVED VALUE AT TIME OF PURCHASE FROM THE NEW CAR DEALER DOESN'T EXIST. THERE IS A LOSS OF FUEL ECONOMY, AND AN INCREASED RISK TO THE VEHICLE AND GARAGE AND ATTACHED HOME. THERE IS ALSO THE OFFENSIVE FUMES. REDUCED VALUE OF THE AUTO AND REPAIR/REPLACEMENT EXPENSE THAT WILL BE SIGNIFICANT. LEAKING FUEL ALSO APPEARS TO HAVE ACCELERATED CORROSION OF OTHER MATERIALS IN THE AREA IT AFFECTS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2020, I WAS AT MY DAD'S. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. MY NIECE CAME UP SAYING SHE SMELLED GAS AND WAS CONCERNED. WHEN WE COULDN'T FIND AN ISSUE IN THE HOUSE, I SAID MAYBE IT WAS MY CAR. WE WENT OUT TO THE GARAGE AND NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE ON THE LEFT SIDE (DRIVER'S SIDE) IN FRONT OF THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. I MOVED THE CAR OUT TO THE DRIVEWAY AND WE COULD SEE WITHIN SECONDS IT HAD LEFT A PUDDLE THE SIZE OF A SOFTBALL. I LEFT AND DROVE HOME 30 MINUTES LATER. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO CASSIDY TIRE LATER THAT WEEK. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE LEAK, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS PRETTY FREAKED OUT AND TOLD ME MY CAR WAS LEAKING GAS. WE CALLED A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE MENTIONED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET COBALTS AND HHRS. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT DRIVE THE CAR WHEREVER I TAKE IT AS I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR SAFELY SHOULD SOMETHING HAPPEN. I'VE BEEN OUT TO THE CAR A FEW TIMES AND THE SMELL OF FUEL IS NOTICEABLE. AFTER GOOGLING THE ISSUE AND FINDING AN ABC NEWS REPORT FROM JULY 2020 AND ANOTHER ARTICLE ABOUT A POTENTIAL RECALL AND AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE ISSUE, I CALLED A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TO MENTION THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR IT ON MY VIN AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE IT TOWED TO THEM FOR REPAIR AND WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. WHAT CAUSED THE LEAK? I CAN ONLY GUESS THAT IT IS THE CORROSION OF THE METAL? I DON'T KNOW THAT I EVER NOTICED THE SMELL OF GAS BEFORE THE 10TH. I DID TAKE IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE LATE MARCH, EARLY APRIL AND NO ONE MENTIONED AN ISSUE WITH FUEL LEAKING OR THE SMELL OF GAS. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS IN MY LIFETIME AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE LIKE THIS.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OUT OF NO WHERE, SPEED ODOMETER WENT TO FLASHING AND CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP EVEN WHEN PUSHING THE GAS... HAD IT CHECKED AND WAS TOLD TO CHECK TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT STOPPED WORKING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, HAD TO TOW IT HOME BECAUSE WAS TOO SCARED TO TRY TO MAKE IT HOME. WHEN PUSHING THE GAS, YOU CAN FEEL IT LOSING POWER.

THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AS I WAS DRIVING OUT OF A BUSINESS PARKING LOT. I PULLED TO THE SIDE AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT THE POWER STEERING LIGHT STAYED OFF AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE HOME.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL LINE ON MY CHEVROLET HHR 2009 RUSTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF $1300.00. THE INSULATED COVERING AROUND THE FUEL LINE CAUSED THE RUSTING BECAUSE IT RETAINED WATER. SMELLED GAS WHILE IT WAS STATIONARY.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HELLO, HOW ARE YOU? THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE BUTTON CANNOT TURN IT OFF. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THERE IS A SERVICE PROMPT ON THE INFORMATION SCROLL LCD SCREEN. THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH LIGHTS UP BUT THE CRUISE DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN THE SET BUTTON IS PRESSED AT ANY SPEED, IE, 30MPH, 50MPH, 55MPH ETC. THE RESEARCH I READ RECOMMENDS TO CONTACT YOU TO HELP GET THIS VEHICLE INCLUDED IN AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUES IN OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME EQUIPMENT. IN OTHER WORDS, THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT AS OTHER GM VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR REPAIR. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS THE SAME DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT THAT WAS RECALLED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES I REQUEST THIS VEHICLE BE COVERED UNDER THE SAME RECALL AND ABLE TO BE REPAIRED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
