NHTSA Complaint #10683561 — 2009 CHEVROLET HHR

TODAY I MADE THE MISTAKE OF LEAVING A DOME LIGHT ON WHILE IN CHURCH FOR A FEW HRS. CAME OUT IT STARTED UP WITH NO PROBLEM. GOT ON THE FERRY PARKED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START UP TO GET OFF THE CAR WAS DEAD. NOW THIS IS THE TERROR OF THAT , THE DOOR LOCKS DIDN'T WORK, THE HORN WAS DEAD, THE WINDOW LOCKS DIDN'T WORK AND THE STEERING WAS LOCKED. I GOT THE ATTENTION OF A PERSON PASSING AND THEY OPENED THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. MY DAUGHTER IS TOTALLY DISABLED AND SHE WAS ASLEEP AND THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHAT IF THIS HAD BEEN SOME LIFE OR DEATH MATTER AND WE NEEDED TO GET OUT. IS THIS NORMAL OR IS IT SOMETHING I DIDN'T KNOW TO DO. THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY RECALLS ON THIS CAR, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A TOTAL RECALL. I AM SO AFRAID FOR OUR LIVES AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. TERRIFIED TO GET IN IT WITH HER AND GO ANY WHERE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO STAY ALIVE UNTIL IT'S PAID OFF? *TR
