NHTSA Complaint #10826097 — 2010 CHEVROLET HHR

POWER WINDOWS: UNABLE TO ROLL DOWN ANY WINDOW EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE USING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL. THIS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DOOR HANDLES BREAKING OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD, MAKES IT A SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD I NEED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE WINDOWS. I AM ABLE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS UP WHEN USING THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL BUTTON, JUST UNABLE TO ROLL THEM DOWN. THIS STARTED OUT WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW NOT WORKING, THEN WENT TO THE REAR DRIVER SIDE AND NOW THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW CAN ONLY BE LOWERED BY LOCKING THEN UNLOCKING THE WINDOW AND APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE WINDOW SWITCH AT AN ANGLE. IF I NEEDED TO GET MY SERVICE DOG OUT OF THE BACK SEAT AND WAS UNABLE TO USE THE DOOR, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LOWER THE WINDOW WITHOUT EFFORT. THIS PUTS HER LIFE OR THE LIFE OF A HUMAN WHO MAY BE PRESENT IN THE BACK SEAT AT SERIOUS RISK. THIS SLOWLY STARTED A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND HAS ESCALATED. THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, RIVERSIDE CHEVY IN ROME, GEORGIA, IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THE COST IS TOO MUCH FOR MY DISABILITY INCOME TO COVER.
