| Arrived home from grocery shopping and i parked my vehicle. i tried to turn the ignition off and the key would not turn. i pulled the power cable off the fuse box under the hood to shut the vehicle off. i live in a townhouse sub-division and did not want to leave the key in the ignition so i removed the ignition cylinder. i called the dealer where i bought the car and they towed it to their shop. the looked at the vehicle and told me it was under oem warranty and they had it towed to a chevrolet dealer to have it fixed. the dealership said they would fix the ignition switch under warranty but the housing would have to be replaced at a cost to me. they replaced the parts and the vehicle would not start. the dealership called the next day and said the ecm (engine control module) would not hold its programming and needed to be replaced at my cost. total repair $1275.00. *tr | |||

| Returning home from dinner with my husband, he put the car in park, and the ignition switch would not turn off, though he repeatedly tried. with the engine still running, we had no recourse but for him to take it to a chevrolet dealer 30 miles away, where they said they would have to replace the ignition switch, and reprogram the computer and key fobs. this is a known defect with the hhr. why has there not been a recall? they have even manufactured a replacement part for this, so they know there is a problem. it will cost us over 300.00 to get this replaced, and i don't feel it is our fault that this has happened, to us, and the many other hhr owners who are wondering where is the recall?? our car is a 2010 model, so it is not that old. | |||

| On approximately march 26 2012 at night on a trip from phoenix az to reno nv my vehicle low beam headlamps went out, i drove from kingman az to indian springs nv with just my highbeams after stopping in indian springs and trying every nob and switch in the vehicle the front low beams came on. then in the month of april the low beams went out all together and after being in the shop for 2 days it was diagnosed with a relay problem and repair was made and i had low beams again, but now the horn doesn't function and after being pulled over by the police i was advised that my taillights are out. both problems possibly related to a fuze or relay problem but i haven't had it in the shop yet. now when i purchased the veh in september of 2011 i noticed that the vehicle would shutter to a stop when applying the brakes, sometimes violently. had a brake job done in march and was advised that the front rotors were warped. had them repaired and everything was fine until approximately june 1st when the shuttering/vibrating started up again and the sometimes violently at that. i am really concerned when i apply the brakes that something may break lose when i apply the brakes. i've read on the internet many complaints from chevrolet hhr (different year models) owners of the same complaints and that after having the brakes worked on that the vibrating/shuttering comes back within 3 months. thank you. dennis o'brien. | |||

| I returned from the grocery store and my key couldn't switch off the ignition or be withdrawn. the car was running while i did some research and tried out the plunger release that worked for others. i discovered that the plunger to release the lock is working properly, so it must be the ignition lock itself that is defective. i found the fuse block and located the fuel pump fuse and pulled it to stall the engine. the ignition is still on, but since it's 9pm, i'll have to wait until tomorrow before i can get it checked. | |||

| My 2010 hhr has experienced an ignition issue as well. i cannot get the key to turn back to the off position. i got home from work at midnight, put the car in park and when i tried to shut the car off it would not turn back. the only option i had was to pull the ecm fuse and disconnect the battery (or let it run out of gas). the gear shifter will allow me to shift between all gears but it won't turn off. all the electrical stay on, i have only owned this car for 3 months. | |||

| My 2010 chevy hhr has experienced an ignition issue. the key, when the car is set to park, will not disengage. it remains on, with the only option being to let the car run out of gas/the battery to drain. the key will turn (as if to start the car), and the gear can be shifted from park to reverse, neutral, etc., but will not turn off. all systems stay on, potentially burning out electrical components or causing permanent engine damage. the only way to safely address the immediate issue is to disengage the fuses under the steering wheel, which many consumers may be unable to do. | |||
