FROM INFO FOUND ON FORUMS DEDICATED TO THE HHR AND HERE, I DETERMINED THAT GM OR THE CHEVY DEALER WASN'T GOING TO SATISFY THE NEED FOR BETTER QUALITY ROTORS. THE OEM ROTORS ARE JUNK AND SHOULD BE BANNED FROM BEING INSTALLED ONTO A MOTOR VEHICLE. INSTEAD OF GETTING THE REGRIND AS SPECIFIED BY GM, I CHOSE TO GET MY OWN BRAKES UPGRADED TO A CANADIAN MADE ROTOR SET AND NEW PADS. PARTS AND LABOR WERE $282.19 TOTAL. I WILL BE SENDING THE BILL TO CHEVROLET, BUT I DOUBT THAT THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME...LOL. *TR

DRIVER WAS LEAVING PARKING LOT WHEN PASSENGER SIDE (RIGHT FRONT) CV SHAFT BROKE COMPLETELY IN HALF AT 35,440 MILES WITHOUT WARNING. CV SHAFT COULD BE HEARD SLAPPING AROUND UNDER CAR WHILE MOTOR RUNNING IN GEAR, PROBABLY TEARING UP OTHER COMPONENTS UNDER THE HOOD AND SUSPENSION. THE CV SHAFT BREAKAGE LEFT THE VEHICLE UNDER NO POWER BECAUSE PASSENGER WHEEL IS THE DRIVE WHEEL....VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS INTO TRAFFIC. ALSO, THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL ALSO HAD NO ABILITY TO BE TURNED TO THE LEFT DUE TO THE BROKEN CV SHAFT BLOCKING IT BY SHAFT HITTING THE WHEEL/HEAT SHIELD/ROTOR ASSY. OWNER HAD TO PUSH CAR BACKWARDS OUT OF TRAFFIC AND INTO PARKING LOT. VEHICLE WOULD STILL ROLLED WHILE IN PARK, HAD TO USE PARKING BRAKE TO MAKE VEHICLE STATIONARY. I WAITED 2.5HRS FOR GM ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE TO GET TOW TRUCK TO MY VEHICLE. 1ST TOW TRUCK DIDN'T COME DUE TO GM NOT CHECKING TO SEE HOW FAR THEY WERE FROM VEHICLE LOCATION. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JBA CHEVROLET (GLEN BURNIE, MD) ON JUNE 25TH, 09 (NEXT DAY). I WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK ON CAR AND GET LOANER. JBA OFFERED NO LOANER STATING THAT SERVICE DEPT NOT OPEN AND THEY MUST DIAGNOSE FIRST AND WAIT UNTIL MONDAY AND THEN MAYBE I GET A LOANER. ALSO GM CUST ASST 1-800 NUMBER STATED I COULD RENT AND GET REIMBURSE BUT I DON'T TRUST GM AND MONEY AT ALL AFTER SEEING HOW OTHERS TREATED ABOUT AND HOW POORLY THEY MANAGE THEIR OWN MONEY. THIS CV SHAFT INCIDENT HAPPENED 1 WEEK AFTER GETTING CAR BACK FROM DEALERSHIP FOR BRAKE OVERHEATING/WARPING AND HEAT SHIELD GRINDING PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC THEN STATED HE KNEW BRAKES WERE CHEAPLY MADE AND PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL AND IF OVER 36,000 MILES...THEY WON'T BE FREE ANYMORE.... CV SHAFT LOOKED TO BE MADE OF CHEAP ALUMINUM CAST AND I BELIEVE SAME HEAT PROBLEM THAT MADE CAUSED ROTOR TO WARP, CAUSED CV SHAFT TO BECOME BRITTLE. EITHER THIS OR COMPONENTS WERE REINSTALLED INCORRECTLY BY JBA CHEVROLET WHEN THEY REPAIRED BRAKE PROBLEM. *TR

THE BRAKES STARTED SHUTTERING AFTER 20000 MILES, THE DEALER FOUND THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND TURNED THE ROTORS. AT 55000 MILES THE TROUBLE HAS RETURNED AND SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF THE 3 YRS 36000 MILE WARRANTY WILL NOT FIX. THE BRAKES PULSATE BADLY AT THIS POINT AND 2 SERVICE MANAGERS CLAIM IS THE RESULT OF THE ROTORS BEING TOO LIGHT FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR AND IT IS HAPPENING TO MANY CHEVY HHR OWNERS. THE 2ND PROBLEM IS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING. THE STEERING SHAKES WHEN THE WARPED BRAKES ARE APPLIED DUE TO THE PLASTIC GEARS WEARING AND WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING OVER A ROUGH SURFACE. AGAIN THE DEALER NOR GM WILL MAKE REPAIRS DUE TO CAR OUT OF 3 YR 36000 WARRANTY. AGAIN THE SERVICE MANAGERS HAS ADMITTED THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO MANY OWNERS. BOTH PROBLEMS CAN LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL AND THE ROTORS COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE PADS TO DETERIORATE AND PREVENT PROPER BRAKING LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL AND ACCIDENTS. *TR

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.

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.
