2010 Chevrolet HHR Exterior lighting Problems

“On going issue of brake lights intermittently coming on without touching brake pedal. First noticed something wrong because cruise control wouldn't activate. Found problem at night when I could see the glow from my brake lights on the top inside edge of my rear hatch. Replacing brake switch above pedal did not fix problem. Sounds kind of funny, but I got brake lights to go off while setting in driveway and pounding my center console out of frustration. …”

“Takata recall one or more of power windows don't work, most of the time. The headlights. Parking lights & tai light don't work alot of the time. Comes on then goes off. Most of the time, the passenger side. People will tell me they are not working or if I pull up to a store I can see one of the lights are out, then sometimes they come back on. Seems there is a short somewhere! This is moving or stationary both & anywhere I drive.”

“The key will not turn to the off position, can not turn off vehicle, have to disconnect fuel pump power and then disconnect the vehicle battery.

I want to see a recall to correct this very dangerous condition.”

“I was going 25 MPH when I crashed causing over 5,000 dollars worth of auto and property damage in addition to the medical bills which I have not received in full yet. The car malfunctioned while I was driving and I was not able to control it. I received the recall information in the mail, but the car had not been repaired. Also, the airbags did not deploy when the crash happened. I suffered a concussion due to the accident. I was the only person injured.”

“The brake light on the back right side keeps going out. Have had bulb replaced 4 times. The bulbs burn right out. Last time during oil change at mister car wash they told me to have tail light repaired as it is all melted inside and the bulb will not stay in the last time I had it replaced was during a recall for the ignition switch at monday Chevrolet before this. This seems to me to be a factory default? Not sure if anyone else has had this happen. This car is garage kept and only had 30 thousand miles on it when I bought it and now only about 65000 on it now .. …”
