The power steering keeps "clicking off" seems like an electrical issue but there are no fuses blown. If I turn the car off the power steering will reset but as soon as I turn it back on the power steering will turn off again. It quit for awhile but now its back in full force. I basically have no power steering now.

The steering wants to lock up and don't return to the straight position when turning on to a street as if it is sticking clicking and popping noise also in the steering column. Also both fuel lines over the left rear wheel rusted out and leaked gas all over the garage floor. Costing two hundred and fifty dollars.

Display showed power steering error and transmission box was clicking. Car started bucking as if transmission was going out. Took to dealer who could not replicate error after three days. Picked up car and now cd player shows err o. This is frustrating as heck! Dealer did say that there was a bulletin that 2006 hhr's did have this type of problem. Dealer rep. Owns 2007 hhr and hoped he did not have the same issue. Spent over $700 total and problem still there? Chevrolet / gm where is your loyalty to your loyal customers? Issue a recall and fix these issues before there are deaths because of them and you are forced to do what is right by the gov.'t.
