INSIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKE, ONE HAS BEEN BROKE FOR A WHILE, IF I'M IN THE CAR AND SOMETHING HAPPENS IT BECOMES A DEATH TRAP. I CHECKED ONLINE AND HAVE SEEN THIS IS A COMMON ONGOING PROBLEM WITH HHR'S. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YEAR IT IS, PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT AND ONE PERSON TRADED HIS IN BECAUSE HIS WIFE GOT STUCK IN THE CAR. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GM APPARENTLY HAS BEEN AWARE OF BUT DID NOTHING. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR NOT IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR.

WHENEVER THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF ENGINE EXHAUST COMING INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE A/C VENTS. THE FLEX HOSE COMING FROM THE ENGINE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK. THE EXHAUST FUMES WERE BEING SUCKED INTO THE VENTILATION SYSTEM AND OUT THROUGH THE A/C VENTS, FILLING THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE WITH EXHAUST FUMES. THE DESIGN OF THE FLEX PIPE IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED AS IF IT'S MADE TO FAIL. IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE THREAT OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE THAT WE WERE BREATHING FROM THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY ALSO BE THE CAUSE OF SEVERE HEADACHES THAT I HAD BEEN SUFFERING FROM.

CAR IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND BOTH OF THE METAL FUEL LINES THAT RUN FROM THE ENGINE TO THE FUEL TANK HAVE RUSTED AND IS LEAKING FUEL NEAR THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL. THIS IS ALSO NEAR THE EXHAUST AND COULD POTENTIALLY CATCH FIRE. FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS COMMON WITH THIS CAR AS THE FUEL LINES WERE RUSTING AT THE BEND POINTS. FORTUNATELY I DISCOVERED THE LEAK WHILE IT WAS PARKED AND THE CAR WAS OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. THE FUEL LINES SHOULD NEVER RUST OUT LIKE THIS. A RECALL OF THESE CARS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS IT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING TO MANY HHRS OF THIS MODEL YEAR.

Official recalls
514V171000 · Electrical System:ignition
Apr 10, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "off" position, the vehicle could roll away: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in the "Park" position; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the "Reverse" position. This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and for vehicles that were built with the defective ignition cylinder and have not previously had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder and cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. For vehicles that were built with the redesigned ignition cylinder or had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac owners at 1-800-762-2737, and Saturn owners at 1-800-553-6000. General Motors' number for this recall is 14113 for the ignition lock cylinder and key replacement, and 14133 for only key replacements. Note: Until a vehicle has been remedied, owners and operators are advised that when exiting, to be sure that the vehicle is in "Park," or in the case of a manual transmission, that the vehicle is in the "Reverse" position and the parking brake is engaged.
14V047000 · Air Bags; Electrical System:ignition:switch
Feb 10, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles. The part numbers for the service parts are 10392423 (a/k/a ACDelco D1461F), 10392737, 15857948, 15854953, 15896640, and 25846762. This expansion represents an additional 823,788 vehicles.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. An interim notification was issued to owners of 2007 and earlier models on March 10, 2014, informing them of the safety defect. Owners of 2008 and later vehicles will be mailed an interim letter on April 21, 2014. All affected owners will receive another letter once parts are available. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. GMs recall number for the vehicles that may have received the replacement parts is 14092. Note: Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Always wear your seatbelt.

Oct 31, 2006
CERTAIN VEHICLES ORIGINALLY BUILT WITH CLOTH SEATS THAT WERE EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC AIR BAG PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM AND LATER REUPHOLSTERED WITH AFTERMARKET LEATHER SEAT COVER KITS ARE INVOLVED. TESTING HAS INDICATED THAT THE AFTERMARKET LEATHER SEAT COVERS CAN CAUSE THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, THE FRONT AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MAY BE DISABLED WHEN IT SHOULD BE ENABLED, OR ENABLED WHEN IT SHOULD BE DISABLED. IN EITHER CASE, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT REQUIRES AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, A FRONT PASSENGER'S LEVEL OF INJURY MAY BE INCREASED.
Remedy: BECAUSE A REPLACEMENT LEATHER SEAT COVER THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM IS NOT AVAILABLE, GENERAL MOTORS (GM) WILL REPURCHASE THESE VEHICLES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS STATED IN GM'S LETTER TO OWNERS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 6, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT GM AT 1-877-477-1022 TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF REPURCHASING THEIR VEHICLE.
