Something with steering and ESC problem unknown for now. The fuel line leaked and needed replacement. The drivers wiper is in visibility
I turned on my rear window defrost in about 55 degree weather and 45 minutes later my rear window shattered
CAR WAS PARKED AND NO ONE WAS INSIDE WHEN THE BACK GLASS JUST POPPED AND SHATTERED.
IT WAS SNOWING AND I STARTED MY CAR TO WARM IT UP. I CLEANED OFF THE WINDOWS WITH MY SNOW BRUSH. WHENEVER I GOT INTO THE CAR AND TURNED ON THE WIPERS, THEY MOVED FOR A SPLIT SECOND THEN STOPPED. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CHECKED THE WIPERS. THEY WERE MOVING FREELY. NOTHING I DID WOULD MAKE THE WIPERS WORK. I WENT ONLINE AND CHECKED FOR PROBLEMS WITH CHEVY HHR WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND FOUND THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE. ON ONE WEBSITE, CHEVY HHR.NET, THERE EVEN IS A DISCUSSION BOARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM. IT'S THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION AND FROM EVERYTHING I'VE READ THIS HAPPENS BETWEEN 60,00 AND 85,000 MILES ON THE HHR AND CHEVY COBALT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPAIR IS @$300.00 AND I'M WONDERING WHY GM WOULD MAKE A VEHICLE THAT HAS A PART THAT FAILS SO EASILY. *TR
