Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 CHEVY HHR TO THE STORE AND AS I WAS PULLING IN THE DASH READ POWER STEERING AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I STOP THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE STORE AND WENT IN. I CAME BACK OUT AND STARTED AND HAD NO PROBLEM. I DID NOT DRIVE MY CAR THE NEXT DAY. SO MONDAY I WAS HEADED FOR WORK AND WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY POWER STEERING DID THE SAME THING. AND ALMOST CAUSED A WRECK. I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TOOK IT NICE AND SLOW TO WORK AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALLS FIXED. I GOT MY CAR BACK TODAY (TUESDAY JULY 8, 2014) AND WAS NOT THREE BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND POWER STEERING DID IT AGAIN. I STARTED LOOKING AROUND ON THE INTERNET AND SEE WHERE THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2009-2011 CHEVY HHR THAT ARE DOING THE SAME THING AS MY CAR. HOWEVER I DID SEE THAT MORE 2006 CHEVY HHRS ARE DOING THE SAME THING AND WOULD LIKE FOR TO YOU LOOK INTO THE FACT THAT THIS COULD BE A RECALL ALSO. I TRULY BELIEVE IT IS. *JS
