Consumer Description

THE HHR IS IN MOTION AT RANDOM SPEEDS, TEMPERATURE, LOCATION, ETC. AND THE DIC LIGHT FOR "POWER STEERING" COMES ON. WE HAVE CHANGED THE APPROPRIATE FUSES (UNDER THE HOOD AND PASSENGER SIDE CENTER PANEL) AND STILL HAVE SAME RESULT-NO POWER STEERING. WE HAVE CHECKED THE PLUGS/CONNECTORS ON THE STEERING COLUMN HAVE BEEN CHECKED FOR ANY LOOSE CONNECTIONS OR BROKEN CONNECTORS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, BUT ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING INTO A CURVE AND IT SHUTS OFF. WE CHECKED THE WIRES UNDER THE HOOD AS WELL. WHILE WE HAVE POWER STEERING, THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY TOUCHY AND HARD TO DRIVE IN A SAFE MANNER. NOW, OUR LEFT TURN SIGNAL WILL SOMETIMES STAY ON AFTER THE TURN IS COMPLETE AND WON'T CLICK OFF. WE LOVE OUR CAR BUT THIS IS GETTING TO BE VERY DANGEROUS AS WE USE IT TO AS A FAMILY CAR WITH KIDS.
