I own a 2008 chevy hhr lt. Last year I had the rotors and brakes replaced because of the shaking in steering while coming to a stop this then helped with the problem then recently the shaking came back I couldn't believe that my brakes and rotors needed to be serviced again. Then recently my power steering would go out while driving I checked online and noticed that alot of hhr owners are having the same problem. This is a big safety issue and I think gmc needs to be responsible and take care of this problem.

Chevrolet hhr is not listed on this site! Please update your vehicle listing. My 2008 chevrolet hhr is having several problems, it contains the same power steering pump as the chevy cobalt which was recalled yet no recall has been issued for the chevy hhr. Same symptoms as the cobalt. Power steering failure message on the driver information display. Please help. Chevrolet is taking the cheap way out and putting lives at risk.
I also own a 2008 chevy hhr lt that is loaded. I purchased this vehicle brand new and currently have 39,000 miles on it. I have had nothing but trouble with this vehicle. I have had all of the following problems and gm replaced some of them. Gm installed a new intermediate steering column, drag links,turned rotors 4 times and right side upper ball joint. After the warranty expired, the brakes once again went to hell in a hand basket. I ordered a set of racing rotors and ceramic brakes, this cured the brake problem. At 37,000 miles, the check engine light came on and I had it checked out and it was the cam sensor. I replaced the sensor and reset the light and it did not fix the problem. I really like the vehicle, but gm needs to do their homework and do more research and development.
We own a 2008 hhr and it has been nothing but trouble . First when we purchased the car in dec 2008 it had 23,000 miles on it. Two months after we got the car we had to replace both front rotors on it and after fighting with gm they agreed to pay for the rotors. At this time they told us that the car needed new tires and a front end alignment at 26,000 miles . Then just two months ago at 61,000 miles it had a rumbling noise in the front end ,the drivetrain was still under warrenty.the dealer told me that the right side axle bearing was bad and they replaced it,and also at this time they told us that the lower ball joint needed to be replaced at a cost to us of over $400.00 . Just last week the rumbling noise returned , I returned the car to the dealer again and they told us that this the left axle bearing was bad, warranty also covered this repair. Also they said that the car needed the front rotors turned and new brake pads on it .my wife hit a pothole about three weeks ago and bent the wheel . Cost to replace the wheel was $150.00 . When I rotated the tires as per gms advice I noticed that the right front strut was leaking ,and as well as the left rear shock absorber. The only thing I like about this car was its looks. So next week we are going to buy a ford focus.. Its no wonder gm had to have the government bail them out...
Car was approx 4 months old and brakes started squeaking-took into dealer-they turned the rotors-fixed for about 2 wks - its back again and now when I apply brakes the front end of the car shakes violently. I am scared to drive this vehicle. I've tried to enter several times - it will not take it.
