2010 CHEVROLET HHR Engine Problems

WATER PUMP

MY 2010 CHEVY HHR IS LEAKING GAS AT A FAST PACE FROM THE FUEL LINE NEAR THE REAR WHEEL. I SMELLED A STRONG GAS ODOR AND AFTER PARKING I NOTICED PUDDLE AND DRIPPING NEW MY REAR WHEEL. IT WAS GAS. I TOOK IT TO A SERVICE SHOP AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL LINE WAS WORN AND BROKEN.

KEY LOCKS IN THE IGNITION IN THE ON POSITION AND CAR CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING

A FAINT NOISE WAS HEARD AND I PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD WALKED AROUND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE LOOKING TO SEE IF ANYTHING STOOD OUT, ASSESSED THE TIRES, ENGINE AND NOTHING APPEARED TO BE WRONG. I PROCEEDED TO GET ON THE RAMP ON AND AS I WENT THROUGH THE TOLL BOOTH DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH, THE CAR ACCELERATED TO A SPEED OF ABOUT 87 MPH, THE STEERING COULD NOT BE CONTROLLED IT WAS ALMOST AS IF IT WAS IN A LOCKED POSITION. ONCE THE VEHICLE TOOK OFF AT THE HIGH SPEED, IT THEN CAME ALMOST TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE WAS REVVING BUT THE SPEED WAS NOT SUPPORTING THE SOUND. I PROCEEDED TO BRAKE, USE THE ACCELERATOR AND WAS GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE TWO FUNCTIONS BUT NEITHER WOULD WORK. SCARED TO GO INTO THE FLOW OF HEAVY TRAFFIC, I PLACED THE...

I GOT MY CAR IN 2011 TOOK MY CAR INTO SHOP BECAUSE SMOG IS NOT PASSING NOW I WAS TOLD NEED NEW MOTOR AFTER 5YRS AT 5000.00

IN A PARKING GARAGE ON THE 4TH FLOOR. BACKING OUT OF SPACE. WHILE BACKING UP, I HEAR A LOUD BOOM. NOTHING BEHIND ME. THOUGHT PERHAPS A TIRE FAILURE. PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE TO PULL FORWARD OUT OF TRAFFIC LANE, AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY. BRAKES WOULDN'T RESPOND. BY THE GRACE OF G-D OR REFLEXES, I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID FLYING THROUGH THE GUARDRAIL AND OFF THE 4TH STORY OF THE PARKING GARAGE. VEHICLE CAME TO A HALT WHEN IT SMASHED INTO A CONCRETE SUPPORT PILLAR. BOTH AIR BAGS DETONATED, PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG APPARENTLY BROKE THE WINDSHIELD ON THAT SIDE. ENGINE SHUT OFF. LIGHTS IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT TURNED ON, HAZARDS STARTED FLASHING ON/OFF (COULDN'T TURN THEM OFF). WAITED FOR TOW TRUCK FOR 5 HOURS. TOW DRIVERS HAD TO JUMP BATTERY - COULDN'T GET FRONT HOOD OPEN, BACK DOOR ELECTRONIC LOCK NON-FUNCTIONAL DUE TO DEAD BATTERY. TOW DRIVER...

MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND COULD NOT MOVE MY CAR, AND I HIT A POLL AND DAMAGED MY RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OVER INDEPENDENCE PASS IN COLORADO AT 14,000 FEET, ABOUT A HALF MILE FROM THE TOP ON A WINDY, TWO LANE ROAD WITH LOTS OF CARS TRAVELING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL AND STUMBLE. WE HAD TO PULL OVER THE BEST WE COULD NOT TO BLOCK TRAFFIC (THIS IS A TWO LANE NO SHOULDER, NO GUARDRAIL, MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY WITH MANY SWITCHBACKS) WE WERE HEADED UPHILL AND WITH NO POWER HAD TO ROLL SLOWLY BACK TO THE SWITCHBACK TO TURN AROUND. THE CAR WOULD START AND STUMBLE JUST ENOUGH TO MANEUVER IT AROUND GOING DOWN HILL. IT WAS 5PM ON A FRIDAY EVENING MILES FROM ANY RETAIL STORE AND OUT OF CELL PHONE RANGE SO WE WERE PRETTY DESPERATE. WE COASTED DOWN THE MOUNTAIN ROAD, STARTING THE STUMBLING AND SPUTTERING ENGINE WHEN OUR SPEED BECAME TO MUCH OR WE APPROACHED A SWITCHBACK SO THAT THE POWER BRAKES...

AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HOURS, CAME TO A ROAD CONSTRUCTION AREA AND STOPPED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STUMBLE AND EVENTUALLY DIED AFTER A MINUTE OR SO. AFTER SETTING STILL WITH THE ENGINE AND IGNITION OFF, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND WENT ON DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY FURTHER INCIDENT. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS ON GMS RECALL LIST BECAUSE OF AN IGNITION PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A SMALL HILL ON FRIDAY MAY 2, 2014, WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NOTHING ON MY IGNITION KEY RING WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND HAD JUST MY KEY IN THE IGNITION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CALLED GM AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED THEY OFFERED TO GIVE ME A RENTAL CAR THAT THEY WILL PAY FOR UNTIL MY CAR IS FIXED . MY CONCERN IS THAT THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD TO NOT ONLY THE PERSON DRIVING THESE CARS BUT ALSO TO THE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD WITH THEM, I KNOW GM IS DOING ALL THAT IT CAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND WONDER WHY THEY ARE BEING ALLOWED TO BE DRIVEN ON THE ROADS WHEN THEY ARE UNSAFE. I DO NOT FEEL...
