2010 Chevrolet Hhr

ON NOVEMBER 29TH, 2017 I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS ABOUT 200 FEET BACK WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE BREAKS WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND I FREAKED OUT AND DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO DO. THERE WAS KNOW LIGHT THAT CAME ON FOR BREAK OR ABS LIGHT. I HIT A CAR IN FRONT AT THE STOP LIGHT AHEAD AND RAN INTO TO HER MY CAR IS TOTALED. I HAD A TOW TRUCK COME AND GET THE CAR AND HE SAID AS WELL THERE WERE NO BREAKS WHAT SO EVER. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS NOTICING MY CAR WAS ACTING UP WITH THE ELECTRICIAL SYSTEM I HAD A OFFICER AT THE HOSPITAL COME OUT AND HELP ME AND HE SAID THATS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND HE HAS NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE.

IN A PARKING GARAGE ON THE 4TH FLOOR. BACKING OUT OF SPACE. WHILE BACKING UP, I HEAR A LOUD BOOM. NOTHING BEHIND ME. THOUGHT PERHAPS A TIRE FAILURE. PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE TO PULL FORWARD OUT OF TRAFFIC LANE, AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. BRAKES WOULDN'T RESPOND. BY THE GRACE OF G-D OR REFLEXES, I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID FLYING THROUGH THE GUARDRAIL AND OFF THE 4TH STORY OF THE PARKING GARAGE. VEHICLE CAME TO A HALT WHEN IT SMASHED INTO A CONCRETE SUPPORT PILLAR. BOTH AIR BAGS DETONATED, PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG APPARENTLY BROKE THE WINDSHIELD ON THAT SIDE. ENGINE SHUT OFF. LIGHTS IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT TURNED ON, HAZARDS STARTED FLASHING ON/OFF (COULDN'T TURN THEM OFF). WAITED FOR TOW TRUCK FOR 5 HOURS. TOW DRIVERS HAD TO JUMP BATTERY - COULDN'T GET FRONT HOOD OPEN, BACK DOOR ELECTRONIC LOCK NON-FUNCTIONAL DUE TO DEAD BATTERY. TOW DRIVER CLIMBED INSIDE CAR, REMOVED INSIDE DECKING TO ACCESS BATTERY. TOW DRIVER JUMPED BATTERY, ATTEMPTED START. FIRST TWO OR THREE TIMES, IT WOULDN'T START, EVENTUALLY ON THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME IT STARTED BUT THE ENGINE WAS RACING AGAIN. TOW DRIVER PUT CAR IN REVERSE AND IT FLEW BACKWARD (I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO GO OFF THE DECK OF THE GARAGE BACKWARDS...). HE STOPPED THE VEHICLE, TURNED THE WHEEL AND HEADED FORWARD - IT SHOT DOWN THE RAMP UNTIL THEY GOT IT OUT OF THE GARAGE AND ON THE TRUCK (I WAS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WATCHING FROM A SAFE DISTANCE WHILE HE DID THIS). VEHICLE TOTALED. NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS/WAS, BUT I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. HAVE HEARD OF ISSUES INVOLVING STUCK IDLE SOLENOIDS, DRIVE TRAIN PROBLEMS, ETC.

I WAS GOING 25 MPH WHEN I CRASHED CAUSING OVER 5,000 DOLLARS WORTH OF AUTO AND PROPERTY DAMAGE IN ADDITION TO THE MEDICAL BILLS WHICH I HAVE NOT RECEIVED IN FULL YET. THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL IT. I RECEIVED THE RECALL INFORMATION IN THE MAIL, BUT THE CAR HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. ALSO, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE CRASH HAPPENED. I SUFFERED A CONCUSSION DUE TO THE ACCIDENT. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON INJURED. *JS

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR HIT A CURB BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING WORKED AGAIN. STARTED DRIVING HOME AND WITH IN 5 MILES IT HAPPENED AGAIN. DROVE IT DIRECT TO THE MECHANIC. THEY SAID IT WAS THE POWER STEERING MOTOR. *TR

POWER STEERING UNIT WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. PULLED HHR OVER TO THE CURB TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD AND DAMAGED TIRE ON CURB. CAR VERY HARD TO STEER AND COULD NOT CONTROL WHEN PULLING VEHICLE OFF ROAD. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY FOR MY WIFE WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE UPPER ARM STRENGTH TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. SAME POWER STEERING UNIT IN THE CHEVY CRUZE AND PONTIAC G6 HAS BEEN RECALLED. DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE HHR HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. SAME PROBLEM REPORTED ON THE INTERNET BY MANY OTHER OWNERS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SHUT OFF CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK TO THE RIGHT CAUSING US TO HIT A ROW OF MAIL BOXES. THIS HAS BEEN A REOCCURRING PROBLEM EVER SINCE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2010 CHEVY HHR FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING CAUSING ME TO HIT ANOTHER DRIVER. CHEVY HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE COBALT AND THE HHR HAS MANY SIMILARITIES TO THE COBALT. I THINK A RECALL IS NEEDED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. IF YOU LOOK ONLINE MANY HHR OWNERS ARE HAVING ISSUES! PLEASE HELP US THE INNOCENT CONSUMER. *TR

I WAS TURNING LEFT AT A DUEL LEFT TURN LANES, I WAS ON THE OUT SIDE, AS I TURNED AND ACCELERATED TO 35 THE BIG RED TRUCK ON THE INSIDE LANE CAME INTO MY LANE OF TRAVEL. AS I SAW THIS BIG RED TRUCK GOING ACROSS MY HOOD I TRIED TO STOP AND DOWN SHIFT WHEN THE LEFT FRONT TIRE SKIDDED AND THE CAR JERKED TO THE LEFT AND THE CAR AND TRUCK MET. *TR

Fuel line leaking right in front of rear driver side tire. Puddles up. Steady leak. And strong odor of gasoline in and outside of the car. Gets me woozy at times. It also gets on my tires and affects steering if I was parked on pavement for a while it puddles back to my rear tire. And makes me worry about a fire. Right in the back seat where a car seat would be. Because I was driving through my yard a while back and my family was burning some limbs and stuff. All at once I get flagged down where it has caught fire to my car. Luckily I put it out before it did any permanent damage. But it is not safe for sure.
