Are there any problems with the HHR power steering?

My 06 hasn’t had any problems with it (147,000 miles on it). Most of the power steering issues I have seen on the HHR are due to frying stuff by improperly jumping a vehicle I have never jumped a vehicle. I just think it’s odd that GM would say “Oh, this part is bad in the Cobalt and Ion, but it’s fine in the HHR.”

How often does the power steering go out?

However, the next day the power steering went out again and has every day since then. In the beginning I would turn my car off, wait 1 to 2 minutes, start my car and it would be fine. Starting last month, the power steering goes off every 2 to 5 minutes regardless if I re-start my car or not….

What does it mean when your HHR won’t start?

If the engine’s ability to fire the spark plug at the right time is called “timing”. If the plugs are firing at the wrong time, or something has happened to cause the camshaft to no longer be in sync with the crankshaft, your HHR won’t start. There will usually be OBDII codes associated with timing related problems, but not always.

The power steering in my 2009 HHR goes out w/o warning, at various speeds. When it started I contacted my local dealer and Chevy and was led to beleive that this was an unusual occurrence. Since then, I have seen hundreds of complaints, similar to mine, dating back to 2006.

How can I contact GM about power steering?

We can be reached at [email protected] (include your name, contact information, and the last 8 digits of your VIN with your inquiry). I am trying to get ahold of my dealership to have them check it out.
