NHTSA Complaint #10394293 — 2006 CHEVROLET HHR

I HAVE A 2006 HHR. WHILE TRYING TO EXIT OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE IN MY HAND SO NOW ANYONE SITTING THERE HAS TO OPEN THE WINDOW AN REACH OUT AND OPEN THE DOOR (OR SOMEONE HAS TO OPEN FOR THEM). THE OTHER PROBLEM I JUST ENCOUNTERED IS THAT THE "DOOR OPEN" MESSAGE AND DINGING NOISE KEEPS COMING UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE DOOR IS NOT OPEN! ALSO, THE RADIO WON'T SHUT OFF WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND OPEN THE DOOR. WHEN PUSHING THE INSIDE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, ALL THE DOORS LOCK EXCEPT THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IT GOES DOWN, BUT COMES BACK UP. MY MECHANIC THINKS IT IS A DOOR LATCH PROBLEM. ALSO THE ALARM GOES OFF BY ITSELF AFTER LOCKING THE CAR WITH THE REMOTE. I WAS AWOKEN AT 3:00 AM TO THE SOUND OF MY CAR GOING OFF, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE! GM NEEDS TO DO SOME RECALLS ON THESE ITEMS, AS I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THE SAME ITEMS. *TR
