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

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet hhr. while driving various speeds, the power steering warning light and alarm would flash and the power steering failed. the contact would have to turn off and restart the vehicle in order for the power steering to function correctly; however, the failure recurred. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 190,000.

Power steering suddenly stops working and indicator light on dashboard says power steering- this happens intermittently while driving. most of the time shutting of the vehicle and then restarting it will get the power steering working again for a short time. after driving the vehicle or allowing it to idle in the driveway then turning it off it will not start again for a minimum of 1 hour. while driving -slowing down to make a left hand turn- the engine has abruptly shut off and not immediately restarted. this is an extremely unsafe vehicle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

I have a problem with my headlights mainly on the driver side i have to use my high beams in order to see something and that's when i'm in motion or not. then now my steering i don't know what's wrong with it but i can start my car up and i can drive and all the sudden my steering wheel gets hard to where i can't turn it, it's hard to turn. my electrical in my vehicle it is very bad my radio keeps popping on and off. i have to hit my headlights to keep thm on and it keeps going on and off and i'm guessing this due to my electrical.

Power steering stops working. when i restart the car power steering will resume to work. it may hrs or days before it stops again. this only happened will driving. stereo some times flashes and unable to turn stations. some times my inter-lights will flash and not work afterwards. both of these issues happens whenever.

My husband was injured in an accident on 9-29-2015. what happened was my husband was stopped on the interstate and a truck slammed into my husband. he said his car turned off as soon as the first impact, airbags did not deploy. there was a second impact from the same truck, which was on my husbands passenger side. the car is completely totaled. my husband was lucky to walk away from this accident. the hhr was recalled for the ignition switch last year and we had the new part installed 2/2015 when the dealership received the parts. we have two issues electrical, why did his car turn off when it was hit from the rear? did the impact knock the ignition switch out of place? also why didn't the airbags deploy? now i know if the car is off the airbags are off but why did the car go from on to completely off unless it was a faulty new part that we received in our car.
