NHTSA Complaint #10881460 — 2007 CHEVROLET HHR

2007 CHEVY HHR WITH MILEAGE OF 63,223. NO PROBLEMS UNTIL 11/05/14 RECALL 14063 IGNITION SWITCH AND 14113 LOCK CYLINDER WERE REPLACED. 20 DAYS LATER AFTER FIGHTING WITH GM AND THE DEALERSHIP FOR 3 WEEKS IT WAS TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION. TESTED CHARGING SYSTEM AND FOUND BATTERY TO FAIL. REPLACED BATTERY, VEHICLE STARTED AND KEY RELEASED UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I WENT TO START IT ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER. VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION AGAIN. 01/30/15 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP CAME TO MY HOUSE TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT IN FOR RECALL SPECIAL COVERAGE 14632 FLOOR SHIFTER REPLACED. BEFORE I COULD GET THE VEHICLE BACK THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND INFORMED ME THE NEW BATTERY HAD FROZEN AND WOULD NOT ACCEPT A CHARGE. I REPLACED THAT BATTERY WITH ANOTHER NEW BATTERY. THEIR DIAGNOSIS WAS I NEEDED A NEW BODY CONTROL MODULE ESTIMATED PARTS AND LABOR $600 BEFORE I WOULD EVER BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE NOT DROVE THE VEHICLE IN OVER A YEAR. IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN STORAGE. I AM AUTHORIZING THE DEALERSHIP TO BEGIN WORK ON IT TOMORROW. IF BY REPLACING THE BODY CONTROL MODULE IT CORRECTS ALL THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THIS VEHICLE HAS I WOULD EXPECT GENERAL MOTORS TO ISSUE A RECALL EVENTUALLY AND REIMBURSE ME FOR THE EXPENSE OF PARTS AND LABOR.
