I am able to roll the windows up when using the driver side door panel button, just unable to roll them down. …”
NHTSA complaint #10826097, filed 2016-02, 44,000 miles“Greetings NHTSA, I am writing to document some things about our 2010 Chevrolet HHR. Yes, it was part of the recall, but I need for you to be inform of some things, that I pray can help someone else: 1. Power issues: the power would act so crazy that we never knew when it was going to shut off. Exp. This past winter, the blower motor would blow cold air, while it was freezing outside! Or it would not work at all, then, the blower heater would come on, just by turning the ignition on. . And it would blow hot air. And it would not turn off, unless the key was out of the ignition. …”

Were traveling in portland down highway 05 when the back drivers side window just imploded for no reason. Glass was thrown all over the car.
