NHTSA Complaint #10592188 — 2007 CHEVROLET HHR

2013, WHEN APPLYING BREAKS ON GRADE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTY SHAKING. JUNE 2013 IF APPLYING FULL BREAKS, STEERING WHEEL WOULD ALSO PULL. COULD NOT CONTROL VECHILE WITH SHAKING AND PULLING. DROVE WITH HAZARDS IN SLOW LANE AT LESSER SPEEDS. VERY BAD SITUATION. THIS SIUATION OCCURED AGAIN THIS YEAR (2014 MAY) WHILE AGAIN ON A GRADE. THE SHAKING IS VOILENT IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VECHILE. DROVE WITH HAZARD AGAIN IN SLOW LANE..THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WORSE WHEN TURNING. GOOD WAYTO KILL YOURSELF AND OTHERS. I WAS AT THE DEALER HAVIGN MY IGNITION REPLACED AND THEY SAID ITS NORMAL AND THE ROTORS SHOULD BE TURNED. I EXPLAIN THAT THE CAR WAS BARELY CONTROLLABLE. NO STANDARD ROTOR PROBLEM SHOULD MAKE A CAR SHAKE AND PULL THAT VIOLENTLY. THESE CARS SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. THEY ARE ALSO NO VERY COMPITENT IN WINDY CONDITIONS. I LIVE IN A MILD CLIMATE ZONE AND HAVE DRIVEN MANY VECHILES AND MY FISRT WINTER IN THE CARD WAS VERY VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. THAT AND THE WINDOWS BEING COPPED ARE A HUGE VISIBILTY ISSUE. A DESIGN LIKE THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN APPROVE. ADD TO THAT POOR PARTS TO SAVE MONEY AND THESE ARE JUST NOT SAFE. NOT SAFE TO THOSE THAT OWN THEM OR OTHERS. ALSO FRONT END HAS ONGOING FRONT END SUSPENSION PROBLEM. I HAD PERVIOSU ISSUES WITH THE RADIATOR AND GUARD THAT SHOUDL HAVE BEEN INSTALLED BY THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT. AS WELL AS FAULY DOOR HANDLES. REAPIR BU DEALER BUT NOW THE DOOR LEAKS. THESE ARE SMALL THINGS COMPARED TO THE OTHERS. I WOULD LIKE THE DRIVING COMMISION TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND HAVE THE COMPANY BUY THESE CARS BACK.. I APPRECIATE THE NEW IGINITION BUT THAT DOES NOTHING TO HELP THE BREAKING ISSUES THEY CALL NORMAL. *JS
