I contacted strosnider Chevrolet (a dealer in hopewell, va) about the recent recall on my car and asked about a loaner. First they wanted to know where I got my information and then they told me that they have never heard of cars cutting off and that I did not need to worry. My car has lost power 4 times in the last 8 months and even though it did not cut off, it did not have power and was coasting for about a minute before it picked up power again and I don't feel safe in it anymore. This dealer acted like this recall is a joke and they do not want to have to deal with it. I will definitely not go to them for anything again even though I purchased my car from them back in 2006. I don't appreciate them making lite of my situation and if my car does cut off on the interstate and I am run over by the vehicle behind me, me or my family will be suing someone for this incident.

Gear shifter pin broke & now won't lock in gear. The key cannot be removed except by removing a cap on the steering column & pressing a release button. Defective gear shifter pin. ------------------------------------- I went home & tried to take my key out but it would not release so since the car would not turn completely off the battery died. I found out on the internet that this has happened to thousands of people. I found out how to remove the plug on the steering column to press the release to take out the key. The gear shifter will not lock so it is easy for it to slip into neutral or out of park & roll away. I don't have the $500 they said it will take to fix it so I have to live with it. I always have to make sure to lock my emergency brake & have to hit the release to take my key out. This is dangerous & so wrong of GM not to recall this when so many have had this problem. This is their defect & not the customers.

Sitting still under carport (car not moving). Turned on ignition to check gas amount and the lights on the dash did not come on. I moved it out from carport and they came on. Few hours later the lights would not come on again. The only keys on key ring are 1 house key, 1 car door key and the key fob. This car was not moving when this happened.

Was snowing got car high centered in driveway could not get ignition to turn off tried off and on for a hour finally frustrated went in home the next morning of course my battery was dead. This happened within the first two weeks of buying the car. Then dealership came out got vehicle started took to shop. I got the car back a week later. Then was driving car and on the weekend on my way to work message on dash says reduced engine power and would not let me go more than 30 mph. The roads were completely dry so road conditions were not the issue. I again called the guy who sold me the car he switch me over to the mechanic who said bring the car in next time it does that otherwise they wont be able to tell what went wrong. Then the next week my front tire was wobbling like it was going to come off and it was not the lug bolts because I checked them so back to the shop again. They said some bolt was loose under the hood to the front end and I should be fine. Then I believe it was a week or two later the ignition locked up on me again and they blamed that on me. I have had the car for a year and owe more than it is worth so cannot trade it in because I owe three times more than it is worth. A month ago again the message came on the dash reduce engine power on my way to work live 11 miles out of town so drove on the shoulder of the road with my flashers on to let other cars by. Among that I had the windshield leek water in my floor on passenger side every time it rained. The dealership had put in a new windshield and didn't get part under the hood back on correctly. I could go on and on but bottom line after buying the car it was in the shop three times before I even got plates for it. I have been really frustrated with the car but not much that I know to do since owe too much on it.

My car started giving me a charging system warning light. I had it checked, with no findings. The car stopped on me several times, yet always check out okay. The last time the battery was shorted, so I replaced it. The next day the car stopped while I was driving it. I had it towed to a shop, where it started up fine and didn't show anything on diagnostic. When I went to pick it up it started and then shorted out the computer. The computer was replaced, it started up, then started smoking and shorted out the new computer. I want to note that approximately two years ago, the power steering went out and shorted out the charging system, twice. It was repaired at Chevrolet in bakersfield.

This began with the power steering warning light coming on just as the power steering cut out. After shutting off the engine and restarting all was normal for about two minutes then the same thing happened. After looking on-line I saw that there are many complaints on this same issue and also that Chevrolet did issue a recall for this vehicle in Canada but not in the usa, I also saw that there was a recall on another Chevy model that uses the same power steering motor (which is the problem). Once the motor fails it is extremely hard to control the car and on a highway this could cause a serious situation. In my case I had a dealer fix the car and they had to replace the main computer along with the power steering motor costing me over nine hundred dollars ! I am submitting this complaint for my grandson who currently owns the HHR, I was the original owner.

Power steering motor shorted out, when we took it to Chevy dealer we were told that GM would not sell the motor separately as the steering column went out shortly after the power steering motor, and were also told there had been a recall on some HHR's. the price to repair is $1500. I am 71 years old, my disabled husband is 72 years old and we only have social security as income. Tried to get some compensation from GM and after almost 3 weeks they told me they would not help me because I bought the car used from a dealer other than a Chevy dealer, that it was out of warranty and over mileage. If the steering goes out there most likely be an accident of some kind. We have no other transportation, I do feel this is a definite safety issue. Any help you can provide to have GM honor the recall would be appreciated.
