Problems with 2010 Chevrolet HHR STEERING

Vehicle intermittently loses power steering at various speeds, from low to highway speeds. making the vehicle very hard to steer especially in turns and corners, and extremely dangerous. there is an existing recall (14v15300) for this exact issue, but when calling the gm dealership and the gm customer service line i was told that my vehicles vin was not affected by the recall. how, if i am having the exact same problem, is it not considered a 'safety issue' for me? but they were more than happy to schedule me an appointment to fix the 'known issue', at my expense of course. my vehicle only has 61,000 miles, so this is not a normal 'wear and tear' issue. especially when i find an article by rueters in which the vice president of gm's global vehicle safety says 'with these safety recalls and lifetime warranties, we are going after every car that might have this problem, and we are going to make it right," said jeff boyer, vice president of gm global vehicle safety. "we have recalled some of these vehicles before for the same issue and offered extended warranties on others, but we did not do enough." very frustrating that ...

2010 chevy hhr lt with 76,500 miles. sudden loss of power steering while driving. upon doing research this is a well known problem by gm and they refuse to warranty the defect or perform a recall. unsafe to drive when power steering suddenly quits on highway. was driving approx. 60 miles per hour on the highway when light came on dash and lost power steering. steering to a lot of effort.

While driving my 2010 chevy hhr, i had just exited the highway and was entering the speedway fuel station, my steering just seemed to lockup on me and a dash alert flashed "service esc" then i suddenly lost all power! in order to avoid any major tragedy like colliding with a gas pump or another vehicle, i was able to run it into the curb i felt like my arms were nearly ripped from the sockets. after having it towed to my home and the following day towed to a mechanic. discovered that the experience was not exclusively mine, apparently some 444 others had as well. i checked for recall notices was told that the recalls were closed and repairs were done. i would like to know by whom, when and where exactly! it obviously was not done permanently nor satisfactorily as i'm very sore now, but could have been killed!

Electric power steering quits working at times making steering difficult. when this happens a chime sounds and a message appears on the instrument panel. there have been recalls on other models and maybe even this model but for some reason it does not register for my vin . i have not been involved in a accident.

The ignition is locking key in. also this is causing my battery to die .

Electric power steering assist. my vin number is not under warranty for the service recall number 11415 electric power steering assist.that should be serviced under safety recall 10023 prior to may 31,2010. i own a 2010 chevy hhr (non-turbo) and the power steering assist has failed.

Approximately two minutes after leaving a city parking lot during the process of making a left turn on a busy four lane road a chime was heard and the display read power steering. at this point the power assist was lost and the cornering steer effort was very strong. i reduced speed causing traffic difficulties but was able to steer back into the lane. drove slowly down street. pulled over and shut of car. restarted car and power assist returned and alarm was cleared. car has 72,900 miles on it. it is my wife's vehicle and as she was a passenger during this incident she will not operate it now. have driven it for a week with no re-occurrence. if unprepared this failure could have serious consequences.

The power steering light pops on after you are driving and the vehicle is very hard to steer.

I parked my car in a parking space, turned it off and removed the key. i opened the driver door, stepped out with my left foot and the car started rolling backward, knocking me back into the driver seat. i slammed on the brake, checked the gear and noticed the car was not in park. recently within the past 24 hours, i have had inconsistent power steering performance. i was driving at 45 mph then slowed down to make a right turn into the parking lot. as i entered the turn, my dash warning sounded and displayed "power steering." from that point, i have had intermittent power steering interruption. i bought power steering fluid only to discover (after checking online for the location of my power steering resevoir) that i have an electrical power steering system. this discovery led me to the 4 recalls since the manufacture of my vehicle... ignition fails and power steering fails. i checked my vin but it comes up as no recalls although my car meets the criteria (2010 chevy hhr non-turbo). this vehicle is not safe for me to drive especially to transport my child/family. however i am ...
