MY HUSBAND WAS INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 9-29-2015. WHAT HAPPENED WAS MY HUSBAND WAS STOPPED ON THE INTERSTATE AND A TRUCK SLAMMED INTO MY HUSBAND. HE SAID HIS CAR TURNED OFF AS SOON AS THE FIRST IMPACT, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS A SECOND IMPACT FROM THE SAME TRUCK, WHICH WAS ON MY HUSBANDS PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED. MY HUSBAND WAS LUCKY TO WALK AWAY FROM THIS ACCIDENT. THE HHR WAS RECALLED FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH LAST YEAR AND WE HAD THE NEW PART INSTALLED 2/2015 WHEN THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVED THE PARTS. WE HAVE TWO ISSUES ELECTRICAL, WHY DID HIS CAR TURN OFF WHEN IT WAS HIT FROM THE REAR? DID THE IMPACT KNOCK THE IGNITION SWITCH OUT OF PLACE? ALSO WHY DIDN'T THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY? NOW I KNOW IF THE CAR IS OFF THE AIRBAGS ARE OFF BUT WHY DID THE CAR GO FROM ON TO COMPLETELY OFF UNLESS IT WAS A FAULTY NEW PART THAT WE RECEIVED IN OUR CAR.

I CANNOT AFFORD THIS PART AND I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY SOME OF THE NEWER HHRS ARE BEING RECALLED AND THE 2007 IS NOT WHEN THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS AND ISSUES OF THE SAME NATURE. MY CAR IS NEAR ABOUT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AND I LIVE NEAR A HIGH VOLUME POPULATION AND I AM AFRAID THAT MY LACK OF BEING ABLE TO SAFELY DRIVE MY CAR COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

Official recalls
4Apr 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.
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.
