NHTSA Complaint #10406386 — 2006 CHEVROLET HHR

THE CAR HAS SEVERAL SAFETY ISSUES. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT BOTH OF THE FRONT DOORS HAD THE HANDLES BREAK OFF. YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE INSIDE. YOU MUST ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. IF THE VEHICLE WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAUGHT ON FIRE AND THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE YOU ARE LITERALLY TRAPPED INSIDE. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF CHEVROLET BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO DO ANYTHING.I FEEL LIKE THE VEHICLE IS A ROLLING DEATH TRAP. THE OTHER CONCERN IS THAT THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE. CHEVROLET DOES NOT MAKE IT A RECALL YET YOU CAN BE DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUR POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE PART IS THE SAME AS THE CHEVROLET COBALT AND CHEVROLET DID A RECALL ON THAT VEHICLE FOR THE VERY SAME POWER STEERING PART.
