NHTSA Complaint #10983557 — 2008 CHEVROLET HHR

SO I PURCHASED A 2008 CHEVROLET HHR AND HAVE CONSTANTLY HAD TROUBLE WITH IT! HERE GOES THE LAST ONE! THE ESC MESSAGE SHOWED UP IN THE DIC WITH A MESSAGE ABOUT THE POWER STEERING! I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY STEERING ANGLE POSITION SENSOR AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES! CHEVROLET SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY THAT I'M PAYING $1400 TO REPLACE THIS! I PURCHASED THE BEST EXTENDED WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THEM THERFORE IT WOULD BE OUT OF POCKET! THE CAR IS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER WHILE IN THIS STAGE. SO UNTIL A RECALL IS MADE ABOUT THIS I WOULD TOTALLY LET EVERY ONE I KNOW TO NEVER PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES! I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR FROM THAT DEALER!
