What owners wrote

2008 chevy hhr, stall 5 times, electrical system failed, no hazard light to warned other drivers of vehicle present.

Reported at 23,000 miles, December 2009

Warning signal beeps (alarm) then says power steering on dashboard. The power steering goes and it is difficult to turn the steering wheel. Very dangerous as it is random and has happened in the middle of making a turn. Read many, many owners of this car's complaints yet nothing has been done.

Reported at 88,000 miles, August 2014
