This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Strong odor of gasoline near vehicle and inside vehicle. Odor persistently got worse over time, and was most noticeable when vehicle was parked. Vehicle repaired on January 11, 2021, however odor started approximately a year earlier, but only after filling tank with gas. Fuel tank broken and leaking.
My fuel line just in front of the drivers side rear tire has started leaking really bad. There is a strong smell of gasoline plus visible gasoline leaking on the ground. Very dangerous. After a search, it appears that this problem is being investigated by NHTSA and GM. Add my 2011 HHR to the list of fuel lines that has started leaking.
ABS and traction stability lights on..replaced wheel hub and cleaned selinoids..ESC service comes across dash hole in drivers side back fuel line...replaced fuel line due to gas leak...trouble starting car driving car when ABS and traction lights came on at home and went to leave when noticed car having trouble starting
Intense gas smell and slight ignition delay. No gas smell until after it is running.. I understand I should not even drive vehicle to repair shop because of a fire danger. Many more complaints exactly like mind. This is a huge safety risk because of firze. I question why there was never a recall. We certainly don't have a year to wait for an investigation.
My 2011 Chevy HHR like many others I've learned from checking online is leaking gas near the rear passenger side door. This is a design flaw and is very dangerous. Why is there not a recall on this are you waiting for one of these cars to burst in flames and someone to be killed before GM is made responsible to fix the defect. I don't have hundreds of dollars to repair this.and even when GM is held responsible they do as little as possible and they don't really address the problem. I also have a 2004 Chevy Impala and there is a recall on that for the ignition, by the time they notified me my ignition switch had malfunctioned and they won't fix that. There fix is to alter the key so there isn't so much pressure on the switch. That does me no good since the car is sitting in my hard and it is dead because the switch malfunctioned and I can't afford to get it fixed.. when they sell a car they make a lot of money kn it but they don't stand behind their product. And no one makes them do so. But as soon as someone is killed then they do damage control and you hear all this bull, we didn't know, we didn't think it was that bad, and we are not responsible. I know this rant will do no good but I couldn't sleep at night if I knew I was the one responsible for things like this. Thanks
Car was struggling to start, when it did, it wouldn't go over 20mph, went to store, came out, it would start. Had it towed to the shop, engine crack and from that cracking it broke other stuff. I owe 3700. On the car and to fix it is $3200 sadly I do T have the money. No care, no way to get to work. Car was sitting in parking lot of our local save a lot.
I was driving a freeway speeds when the engine suddenly went into limp home mode. I received the following dash indications - service ESC, traction off, reduced engine power. Upon further inspection we found a failed accelerator position sensor and we had the following trouble codes stored in the computer: P2135 Chevrolet - throttle/pedal position sensor/switch 'a'/'B' voltage correlation replaced the accelerator position sensor and gas pedal assembly, at this point the car seems fine. I have the failed part.
