“THE SERVICE ECS DOES NOT GO OFF. THEIRFOR THE CAR WILL NOT GO UNLESS THE ROADS ARE COMPLETELY FREE OF SNOW AND ICE. THE CAR JUST SITS AND SPINS. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY .CAN NOT DRIVE CAR IN WINTER MONTHS”

“MY 2009 HHR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT GEAR STICKING AND NOT RELEASING TO PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE ALSO I BET PROBLEMS WHERE THE CAR IS REVVING UP WHILE DRIVING AND THEN JERKS LIKE SOMEONE IS HITTING IT FROM BEHIND I TOOK IT INTO BACHMAN CHEVROLET TO HAVE IT FIXED AND THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED IT IS NOW DOING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO BE HIT WHILE DRIVING WHEN IT STARTS JERKING AND HESITATING AND THE ENGINE IS REVVING WHILE IN DRIVE NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON WHILE I'M DRIVING.”

“2009 CHEVY HHR HAD PROBLEMS WITH STICK GEAR STUCK AND WILL NOT MOVE ON POSITION TO DR OR REV FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. CAR HAS BEEN HESITATING AND RACING TO THEN JERKS LIKE I'M BEING HIT. HAPPENS EVERYONE I PRESS ON THE GAS . I TOOK IT INTO BAUCHMAN CHEVROLET TO HAVE SERVICED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED 2 WEEKS LATER IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. IT ALMOST CAUSED A REAR END DUE TO HESITATION. I NEED TO GET THIS FIXED BY DEALERSHIP. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SAME ISSUES .”

“FOR THE LAST MONTH MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN GOING HAYWIRE, ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL MY GAUGES START FLUCTUATING AND ALL SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND AFTER THE CAR IS OFF FOR A WHILE ALL WARNING LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK MY SECURITY LOCK AND ESC WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WHEN I STOP AND START TO GO AGAIN THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. MY TWO REAR WINDOWS NO LONGER WORK, FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND DRIVER DOOR HANDLE IS BROKEN. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUES ON THIS SITE, YET THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS. WHAT IS GOING ON??”

“CAR WHEN STOPPING BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH. AFTER ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WENT OFF DAY LATER. HAD OIL CHANGED THEN THE ABS TRACK LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. MESSAGES: SERVICE TRACKING AND ESC. HAD DIAGNOSED . NO ONE SO FAR HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT PROBLEM. CODE CO550 WAS READ BUT NO SPECIFIC PROBLEM CODE SHOWS UP. THERE IS NO END TO EXPENSE TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. GM HAS ON LINE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH MALIBU AND EQUINOX. BUT NOT 2009 HHR. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO ASSIST FIXING THIS PROBLEM. IF CAR NO FIXED WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. IT COULD COST UPWARDS OF 800 DOLLARS BEFORE IT CAN BE FIGURED OUT. GM SHOUD KNOW THE PROBLEM CAUSE AND HELP OUT. THIS CAR WAS MADE IN MEXICO. COULD THIS BE THE PROBLEM?”

“THE ESC HAS GONE OUT AND THE TURN SIGNALS WORK, BUT NOW I HAVE TO TURN THEM OFF MANUALLY. THE IGNITION HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. ONCE WHEN IT WAS NEW BECAUSE THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE SECOND TIME WAS A RECALL. THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WHICH INCLUDES THE RADIO, AND INFORMATION SYSTEM TURNS ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY.”
