Problems with 2008 Chevrolet HHR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The power steering went out as we were dealing with a starter issue. it indicated only once on the dash that there might be something wrong with the power steering. now it's completely gone. the dash doesn't show any information that there could be an issue. it's very hard to take turns. both wide or tight. it takes a lot of strength to get the steering wheel to move. if i drive it, moving from lane to lane is difficult. i now have it back in the shop for the mechanic to check it out and run a diagnostic test on the electrical system.

The power steering is suddenly inoperative. no power steering. it just came on the warning lights one time, power steering, and i can't find a fix. the vehicle was parked in my driveway when it happened.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet hhr. the contact stated that the electronic stability control (esc) warning indicator illuminated several times. while driving 45 mph, the esc warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle completely failed to operate. the contact took the vehicle to several independent mechanics and preston hood chevrolet (212 hollywood blvd nw, fort walton beach, fl 32548, (850) 610-7278) where it was diagnosed that the starter needed to be replaced, along with several other issues. the contact also stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated periodically on various occasions. the vehicle was repaired each time, but the failure continued. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was 126,000.

Power steering failure while moving down road

For the past few months i noticed my power steering, cruise control being cut off and jerking with my car. but up til the beginning of august my car wouldn't start, it would crank but not start. come august 18th my car compllife roy won't start. there was a recall on my vehicle and the previous owner took in the car for the recall but now it's acting up again. multiple time where i loose control of my car and or the car would slow down to the point it felt like i was stopping then it would jerk. i thought the dealership could fix this but they can not, gm, rigth way and etc are not helping. i'm terrified my car won't work and also it'll be dangerous to drive.

Whial driving the power steering assistance turns off/fails and the power steering light showes on dash. when you stop and cut the car off and back on it works again for a wial then fails again.

I bought a used 2008 chevy hhr from lithia in eureka, ca 11/3/2017 and 11/24/2017 the car would not engage the drive function. tried several times and no luck. transmission seems blown, and the electrical was malfunctioning. no flasheers, radio with weird noises, strange sounds from engine after attempting to drive. we are now stuck 200 miles from home and lithia manager has not returned my phone call. i am a middle aged student, working minimum wahe. i gave the dealership all my momey for a broken car. i shouls have researched more that is apparent. i take responsibility for my mishaps. yet, this is 3 weeks after giving away $5000 for a working vehicle. please help if you can.

The electronic power steering turns off on a constant basis while driving the vehicle and all power steering is lost !

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 ...

My brake lights stay on all the time. i replaced the brake positioning sensor. it is under my impression that many people have problems with this. i think the fix is running a ground cable to the car's computer. i also cannot use my temperature gauge and cruise control. please email me at your convenience at [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Whenever i am driving, the steering wheel will suddenly lock up for seemingly no reason. i can be go anywhere from 35 mph to 70 mph. it's caused me to nearly get into multiple wrecks. i'm forced to pull over, turn off the car, and turn it back on and then the wheel is perfectly fine after. it happens in the middle of driving. i'm scared to keep driving this car but it's my only way to work every day. i have no choice. my car dealership has said many hhr's have been recalled in the past due to power steering issues. please help me know if my car needs to be recalled and what i need to do to keep safe. this happens nearly every day i drive it, i've only owned the car for about a month now.

Ever single time i turn my car on my power steering cust off.

Intermittent canceling of turn signal, does not work all the time. youtube shows gm did not use strong enough spring in switch. i am hard of hearing, cannot hear the click click click of flasher. drivers behind me confused as to my intentions. injury possible by drivers expecting me to turn. they want a lot of money to fix their mistake!!! *tr
