ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS IT HAS RAINED WHILE MY CAR SAT OVERNIGHT AND WATER HAS SEEPED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE COMPARTMENT FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX , I HAVE HAD THIS ADDRESSED 3 TIMES AND REPAIRED 3 TIMES AND FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A SMALL FLAP THAT COVERS A HOLE ON THE FIREWALL THAT FAILS OR FALLS OFF MAKING IT SO THAT WATER ENTERS THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT A ISOLATED INCIDENT OTHER HHR OWNERS SAY THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

STEERING
WE KEEP HEARING A DING, DING, DING, AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER READS OUT POWER STEERING AS WE LOSE OUR POWER STEERING AND IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEELS. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING EVERY SO MANY DAYS AND I HAVE CHANGED THE 60 AMP FUSE. BUT IT SEEMS THAT IF I PULL OVER AND SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT THE POWER STEERING WORKS ONCE AGAIN. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. I CALLED OUR MECHANIC AND HE SAID HE WILL NOT WORK ON ELECTRONIC STEERING SYSTEMS. THAT DOESN'T GIVE ME MUCH COMFORT AS IT APPEARS I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER AND GUESS IT MIGHT BE A BIG DEAL AND VERY EXPENSIVE. BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH OUR CAR THESE LAST 10 YEARS.
