| Bought a used 2010 chevrolet hhr on july 09, 2011 from a major dealer. on july 23,2011, drove two miles to super market. the engine would not shut off and i could not remove the key from the ignition. finally had to disconnect battery to stop the engine from running. had the vehicle towed to chevrolet dealer and was told the ignition lock cylinder was broken. fortunately, the vehicle was still under factory warranty and was repaired at no cost. the service advisor said this occurs frequently with this car and would no doubt happen again. great to know it will happen again, only you don't know where you will be when it happens or what time of day or night. | |||

| The ignition interlock cylinder in our 2010 chevrolet hhr failed and the key became stuck. we were unable to remove the key or turn it to the off position. i had to remove the fuel pump fuse and battery to shut the vehicle off. this also disabled the airbags in the vehicle. gm stated they knew there was a problem and have issued advisories but no recall so the customer is responsible. | |||
