how many of you registered for the class action lawsuit re power steering &ign switch
Good day, wondering if any members&others have signed up or are considering to re GM VEHILCLES namely HHR. i have been a member since 2009 and have owned a few of the above vehicles .the 2009 was a right off due to loss of steering and the 20011 which we still own and are relucktent to drive in lieu of all the information coming out recently. having lost one car &now this ign recall is a bit much.my dealer is stating may not be fixed till oct.this is un acceptable in my view.the law firm e mailed me to day to state if i have safety issues regarding drive avility to ask for a rental which they will be responsible for. as i am a cdn owner ,they stated we are entitled to same privileges as our US customers.also stated i could file for the 2009 which i also did.so in my case it will be for both the 2009&2011.we liked the vehicles but to hide the truth for 11 yrs is a bit much,especially when it comes to compromising my families safety.also i can see a substantial financial loss at trade in time.the last 4 cars were new GM but i dare say this will be our last.and this is the reason for registering for the class action law suit.please understand the above comments are my views only ¬ meant to in flame anyone other than the disappointment toward the general,that they would put profit above a valued customer. i would appreciate hearing other members views &comments.

I get the just of the message. I have a 2006 and have not registered. I am reluctant to add my name to a list that a legal firm has solicited. I also haven't had a problem with the steering or the ignition switch (79K). I will have the switch fixed as my key is starting to act funny.

So, all aboard the lawyer crazy train. I didn't see this type of lawsuit for other recalls but I am Canadian and maybe we didn't count back then.
I can understand for the loss of your '09 but didn't your insurance company cut you a cheque for that, therefore the insurance company suffered the loss and not you?
As for the 2011, you would have to have GM refuse to replace the recall parts to really suffer any financial loss, trade in value may or may not be effected.
It's to early to tell for sure!!

loss of 2009
loss of 2009 was due in part to power steering failure,yes we were compensated for car &injuries but still loss $2900 on replacement costs with only26000 km on car,2011 local dodge dealer isn't interested in me trading it in as he can't sell it till recall is done. recall info from dealer states could be oct till fixed.i am in know way bashing anyone just exercising my right for compensation for the false premises we were told when buying vehicles.sorry about spelling &other errors but up here i attended school in an igloo &it was hard,but i sure as hell play good hockey aye/. gee wiz
lighten up folks .i have had a wonderfull tenure on this forum for yrs and it has been very helpfull &informative. but i am not happy about the financial loss i could encounter if i wanted to trade .plus the fact that some of this info was hidden for 10 yrs or more.and to say gm values me as a good customer, i think not. again MY OPINION

I do wish you luck.....
In my experience in class action activity, the lawyers are the ones that make the big money. For example......
2 GM vehicles with the infamous Dexcool silicone problem. I got $70 each. One repair cost me almost $600 (the other vehicle was traded). One other repair was done before all the legal activity, was done on GM "good will" but the dealer owner indicated it was a $500 charge back to GM.
I was also involved in the DeBeers Diamond price fixing class action. Got just under $400 for about $23,000 in claims.
Can't remember what the court allowed as the final total settlement, but each was in the 100's of millions of dollars. Lawyers got almost 2/3 of the money.
