I was backing up out of a parking stall the power steering suddenly stopped working, that is on recall along with the ignition switch we called May 20 2014 no parts for the ignition switch still no parts for that now another recall this time electrical power steering..... Sunday july6 2014 at 11:30 am power steering suddenly went out call GM road side assistance got a tow to H&H Chevy omaha ne. Then first thing Monday morning went in and got a loaner car. The service guy stated that GM doesn't no how to fix the power steering problem nor do they have anyone to fix it and no part to fix it with so it could be a month or longer we have to drive a Chevy Cruze which for someone with a very bad back and arthritis in knees and back bad car not comfortable. I think GM needs to just scrap all these cars and buy them back from the ppl and pay off there loans. I am looking into buying a different brand of car. One the corporation will communicate better then GM is now the company of we wont say a word til you get hurt. Dealerships telling owners to just drive your cars but becareful til they do get the part in.

No accident has occurred; I would like to know why it takes so long to remedy the recall(s) on my vehicle; the first notice was received dated April 2014 from GM regarding the ignition switch. The next recall letter was received on May 11, 2014 and I immediately called my local GM (cecil clarke Chevrolet) in leesburg, Florida to be put on the 'list' for the required parts/replacements. On June 17th, I called cecil clark again and was advised that although they were receiving 4 - 5 replacement kits a day, mine had not come in yet. Now I have a safety recall for June reference the eps and that parts are not currently available. I have done what I need to do, I drive only when I have to now, and although I follow the safety rules reference removing all items from the ignition key, I do not feel safe while driving anymore. Please can you find out why it takes so long to get parts for a very safety related issue. I thank you in advance.

Power steering assist went out making vehicle very difficult to steer.

On 03/30/2014 the power steering light went on my HHR panel and the power steering went out. At that time I could power off the car and the power steering would work for one to two days. Within a week of this, the power steering would go out each time the car was started and driven within 5 minutes or less. It occurs if you are driving at 5 mph to 65 mph and if the car is cold or hot. This is becoming more of a safety issue as it requires extra strength to maneuver the car since no power steering is available. At this time Chevrolet has announced a recall on 03/31 for the 2010 HHR but nothing has shown up when I put my VIN number on their website. I am concerned about not having power steering but we need the car for transportation. Today is June 5 and this issue occurs every day and no recall notice has happened with my VIN. The mileage was adjusted from the original complaint.

While driving at any speed at all there would be a chime and a message on the dash then my power steering would be totally gone, you have about a 4 second warning when this happens. I took the vehicle and had it repaired, it was the power steering motor. I contacted Chevrolet directly after having it repaired complaining that this very problem had been recalled in Canada but not the us. I was told to keep the repair receipt (which I did) in case there was a later recall. So when the recall happened in the us my vehicle wasn't included. It was clearly a faulty power steering motor yet no recall on my vehicle. I believe there are more out there that GM isn't recalling. If mine done it then there are more out on the road that this has either happened to already or it will.

As I was driving, the power steering light came on and the power steering went out. The next day, I took it to a repair shop. The problem had disappeared. Several weeks later, the problem recurred. I was advised to take it to a GMC dealership. The dealership replaced the electronic motor assist motor (recalled on other VIN numbers). And they charged me a hefty fee for the replacement.

As I was driving down the street my power steering sign came on and I had difficulty steering. After parking and letting my car sit when I started it again I was able to drive for several miles before the power steering sign came on again.

Intermittent "service air bags". service light goes on and off sometimes it will change multiple times in just a 20 mile commute. Sometimes the service light will not turn on/off for a month. No common factor found. My VIN is not yet covered on the HHR recall list. Intermittent "power steering" loss - service light turns on and off. It can be hot, cold, dry, raining, driving 30 miles per hour or driving 50 miles per hour. Very difficult to control vehicle. My VIN is not yet covered on the HHR recall list. A couple of times my car key got stuck in the ignition. Once it took five minutes to turn the HHR off. This is covered on the current HHR recall list. There currently is no fix for the problem. It could be two months before it can be repaired.

While driving down the interstate at 70 mph, I had a warning light and the display read svc ESC. Shortly after, the power steering display came on in the vehicle. I then immediately lost control of vehicle. It took great force to steer the vehicle off of the highway to a safe location. I then used the onstar service, they ran a quick diagnostic - result came back that they were unable to connect to the power steering system - the power steering system had lost electrical connection or had failed completely - they were unable to let me know without having it diagnosed further at a local Chevy dealership. The vehicle was then towed to the local Chevy dealer. They ran a diagnostic and found that my entire steering column needed to be replaced. They also explained that other models of the HHR were recalled for the same issue that I experienced, however my model was considered "safe".

My vehicle is on gms recall list because of an ignition problem. I was driving down a small hill on Friday May 2, 2014, when my car shut off. I had nothing on my ignition key ring when this happened and had just my key in the ignition when this happened. I called GM and let them know what had happened they offered to give me a rental car that they will pay for until my car is fixed. My concern is that these cars should not be on the road because they are a safety hazard to not only the person driving these cars but also to the people on the road with them, I know GM is doing all that it can to fix the problem and wonder why they are being allowed to be driven on the roads when they are unsafe. I do not feel comfortable driving my car because of the risk it poses not only to me but to others on the road and will be getting a rental. Oh and by the way when my car shut off, it was all I could do to steer it around the corner because off course my power steering was gone making it difficult to steer.

The power steering keeps shutting off" I will be driving when I will hear this brief chiming sound and my odometer readout on the dashboard is replaced with a flashing "power steering" message. Suddenly the vehicle is a bear to steer? it almost takes a muscle man to drive the vehicle at this point. It used to occur only once in a while. Now the power steering is constantly out. I'm taking this car in to the dealer now... the service rep stated that if my issue is a "power steering motor" replacement that it will cost me $325 including parts. However if the complete "steering column" needs replacement, the guy laughed and stated that I should consider taking a second out on my home, that this would be pricey. And that if both parts needed to be replaced..." well... let's not go there he said... just bring it in and we'll run a series of computer diagnostics on it. Oh boy... my first Chevrolet...

Our 2010 HHR's power steering went out while my wife was in our neighborhood. She was able to get the car parked on the side of the road but the strength needed to steer the car was greater then she feels she could safely operate the vehicle. If you restart the car the power steering will work again. Since that time the power steering will randomly go out at least every other day while driving at highway or in the neighborhood.

As I was driving down the off ramp of the freeway the front of my car started to shake and rattle. A couple minutes later after turning a corner, only going 30mi/hr, the cars power steering then turned off. Every time I turn my car on and take a trip the power steering goes off at least twice. Which is about 5-6 times a day.

Please include repairing this issue in the recall of 2010 HHR vehicles. This is the most recent of multiple incidents where the electronic stability control (ESC) activates while traveling straight on dry pavement at speeds between 15 and 30 mph. As a chime sounds, and a message is flashed on the display, the vehicle briefly loses steering and pulls to the right while brake is involuntarily activated. On this occasion, the servicer found the female connectors to the ABS speed sensor were not making proper contact. He crimped the new ones tightly when installing the replacement ends. The service advisor admitted that my car is not the only one with this issue, he had seen this problem repeatedly. After turning the car off and restarting, the car continues normally. Fortunately, this has not yet caused an accident. The dealer has variously attributed the problem to mismatched tires (replaced with all new), bad hubs (both replaced), bad speed sensors (replaced), bad alignment (fixed) and a wrongly calibrated steering position sensor (re-calibrated). The vehicle has been towed, repaired repeatedly, and the problem is back again.

For the second time in a week, the vehicle is being serviced because the electronic stability control (ESC) activated several times since the last service while traveling straight on dry pavement at speeds between 15 and 30 mph. The vehicle briefly loses steering and pulls to the right while brake is involuntarily activated. After turning the car off and restarting, the car continues normally. Fortunately, this has not yet caused an accident. On this occasion, the dealer could not duplicate the problem. The dealer has variously attributed the problem to mismatched tires (replaced with all new), bad hubs (both replaced), bad speed sensors (replaced), bad alignment (fixed) and a wrongly calibrated steering position sensor (re-calibrated). The vehicle has been towed, repaired repeatedly, and the problem is back again. This needs to be elevated to a recall.
