NHTSA Complaint #10597005 — 2010 CHEVROLET HHR

GREETINGS NHTSA, I AM WRITING TO DOCUMENT SOME THINGS ABOUT OUR 2010 CHEVROLET HHR. YES, IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL, BUT I NEED FOR YOU TO BE INFORM OF SOME THINGS, THAT I PRAY CAN HELP SOMEONE ELSE: 1. POWER ISSUES: THE POWER WOULD ACT SO CRAZY THAT WE NEVER KNEW WHEN IT WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF. EXP. THIS PAST WINTER, THE BLOWER MOTOR WOULD BLOW COLD AIR, WHILE IT WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE! OR IT WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL, THEN, THE BLOWER HEATER WOULD COME ON, JUST BY TURNING THE IGNITION ON. . AND IT WOULD BLOW HOT AIR. AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF, UNLESS THE KEY WAS OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE DASH WOULD GET VERY HOT, SHOWING A POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE. APPARENTLY, EACH TIME A FUSE HAD BLOWN OUT. WE WOULD REPLACE IT AND IN THREE WEEKS IT WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. SOMETHING ELECTRICAL MUST OF BEEN GOING ON. THERE WAS ALSO, POWER STEERING CONCERNS. 2. WE TOOK IT IN TO SERRA CHEVROLET IN SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACE. WE WERE GIVEN A RENTAL, AND IT TOOK OVER THREE WEEKS FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE. WE WERE HOPING THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD GO AWAY, ONCE REPLACED. 3. ON JUNE 4TH, 2014-THE PARTS CAME IN.. 4. ON THURSDAY, JUNE 5TH, 2014, THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED. THE NEXT DAY, JUNE 6TH, 2014, THE BLOWER MOTOR WENT CRAZY AGAIN, AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. ( WITH ALL OF THE ISSUES WITH THE CAR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT NEVER CAME ON UNTIL THE NEW IGNITION SWITCH WAS INSTALLED. 5. AFRAID OF AN AIRBAG DISASTER TODAY, JUNE 9TH, 2014, MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR BACK TO SERRA CHEVROLET IN SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN. THEY ARE SO BACKED UP, WITH CARS. THEY CANNOT EVEN LOOK AT IT UNTIL TOMORROW. MY HUSBAND WAS DROPPED OFF, NO RENTAL NO LOANER! AND NOW WE ARE WITHOUT A CAR, THANK YOU.
