NHTSA Complaint #10758473 — 2009 CHEVROLET HHR

CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. KEY WOULD NOT TURN. EVENTUALLY PULLED FUSE AND GOT CAR TO STOP. TOOK TO DEALER NEXT RECALLS CAME OUT LATER AND I TOOK IT IN THREE TIMES TO GET RECALL THINGS FIXED. I STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEMS AS OTHER OWNERS WITH MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, THE DIC GIVING FALSE INFORMATION SUCH AS NO AIR PRESSURE IN ONE OF THE TIRES, THE ABS AND TRACTION NEED REPAIR ETC. STEERING WHEEL ALMOST ALWAYS SHAKES WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED AND SOMETIMES SEEMS LIKE IT IS DRIVING UNDER ITS OWN CONTROL. I HAVE LOVED THE CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT WITH LESS THAN 9,000 MILES ON IT IN DECEMBER 2010, BUT I DRIVE MY HANDICAPPED HUSBAND AND ELDERLY MOTHER TO MANY DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AND CANNOT HANDLE THE ANXIETY OF BEING AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. THERE IS ALREADY THE FEELING OF HELPLESSNESS IN CAR ACCIDENTS WITHOUT ONE DRIVING A CAR THAT CAN'T BE CONTROLLED AT ALL TIMES. AND THESE THINGS HAPPEN OUT OF THE BLUE WITHOUT WARNING. IT ISN'T LIKE YOU HAVE EVEN A FEELING THAT SOMETHING MAY BE GOING OUT OR THAT A PROBLEM IS BEGINNING. IT'S JUST BOOM, HERE'S THE SITUATION, HANDLE IT! I, AT ALL TIMES, MUST KEEP MY MIND ON THE FACT THAT MY BRAKES, STEERING, TRANSMISSION AND/OR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAY FAIL AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. THIS DOES NOT MAKE FOR A CALM DRIVING EXPERIENCE. NERVOUSNESS AND HIGH ANXIETY IS NOT A CONDITION THAT ANYONE SHOULD BE IN WHEN HANDLING A POTENTIALLY DEADLY WEAPON IN AND AROUND OTHER PEOPLE, ANIMALS AND VEHICLES. ALL THESE OTHER OWNERS CAN'T BE WRONG, MAYBE GMC SHOULD JUST RECALL THE WHOLE CAR AND LET US GET ONE WE DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, SO WE CAN CONCENTRATE ON OUR OWN AND OTHER PEOPLE'S DRIVING TO PREVENT THEM..
