My power steering went out on my 2008 hhr while i was making a left hand turn, i had to jerk the steering wheel back to avoid going into the oncoming traffic. i have had this problem ever since with the steering going out and having to wrestle with it. i took the vehicle to the chevrolet dealer ship to complain in cape coral, fl. and they told me it would cost me to fix the problem. i find that this is a severe safety issue and a general motors co. defect that i should not beheld responsible for to pay. please check into this problem and see if there is anymore complaints on this steering problem. *tr
My mother experienced shaking and pulling to the side when applying the brakes. i told her to take it to chevy for repairs. they put new rotors and brake pads on the car at my expense. i am a mechanic and it is not normal for the friction pad to be missing on the brakes, that is a part failure not wear and tear. i have the parts taken off my car in september when the repair occurred, that proves my statement. two months later this same problem is occurring again. i contacted chevy and they said it was normal wear and tear. i feel the new rotors are warped. also i have complained to chevy several times because when the car is first started the brakes are hard. if a small child walks out there could be a fatality due to this failure. i am in the military and live on post with many young children and the sidewalk goes by my house. i have seen several complaints online about the brakes being hard upon starting the vehicle made by other owners of the chevy hhr's. *tr
