Dealer states cannot duplicate problems: no power steering not fixed by replacing fuse (eps system), although gm recalled many vehicles with same problem and are aware of issue, no recall has been issued. Windows squeal up & down on sunny day, & get stuck shut. Windshield wipers came off of windshield wiper transmission. Front end sway bars replaced, continued problem, tires wearing uneven, feels like bad bearings, unable to dup. Rear windshield wiper fluid pours into interior of car. Front left turn signal went then rear turn signal. Interior was sold as scotch guarded/repellent of liquids interior is far from guarded against anything water stains fabric. Electric power mirrors no longer work. Brought car in for service, recall on front head air bags never disclosed to me never offered to repair.

2006 hhr - 50,164 miles - engine and dash shut off while driving with normal highway/weather conditions and speeds of 65+ MPH after hitting bumps/transition points of pavement in the road. These bumps are pavement that sometimes buckle in the summer. The car would still have steering and brakes, but no dash lights or turn signals. No dummy lights illuminated, no warnings came on. The hazards worked fine and the radio was still on. The car would restart on the shoulder of the tollway but he first incident caused the transmission to shift hard and almost shut the car off when coming to a stop. The car was driven to its destination and shut off. Upon the next restart which was approximately an hour later, the car shifted fine. The local chevy dealer took the hhr in and performed many diagnostic tests and checked numerous electrical connectors and all was fine. The very next week, during a pouring rain, the car again shut off after going over a bump on the tollway. Again, no dash lights came on, the dash shut completely off, the engine shut off, and the wipers stopped, all while traveling at highway speeds in a thunderstorm. The car was again pulled safely to the side of the road and restarted. A mile or two down the road, the same thing happened again. The car was again pulled to the side of the road in rush hour traffic and during a thunderstorm! The car was once again restarted and able to get off the tollway. Calls were placed to two different chevrolet dealers in the area - one had no power because of the storm, and the others service department had just closed. The rest of the drive home was done on secondary roads at slower speeds and plenty of shoulders to pull off onto. This car is driven daily 60+ miles on the illinois tollway.
