Consumer Description

THE MILEAGE IS 84475. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, OUR POWER STEERING HAS BEEN RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE WE ARE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND ON COUNTRY LANES. IT STARTED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. IF YOU PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING MAY COME BACK FOR FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP OR IT MAY JUST KEEP SHUTTING OFF. WHEN I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM, I QUICKLY FOUND MULTIPLE LINKS DOCUMENTING OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. I FOUND THE FOLLOWING VIDEO ON YOUTUBE OF ANOTHER HHR DRIVER SHOWING THE PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=CZF1BFRSHUA PLEASE MAKE THIS A RECALL ITEM. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS ON COUNTRY ROADS.
