I just clicked on one of Mikes (843de) links and it says replacement part number is 19257875 so looks like you would get the correct one but it will be one of the 4 listed in my quote. Also again the price at the dealers has been found to be only $104-$120 out the door.

Good catch 07, the part number did change, and my tired brain didn't spot it. Just hate it when my brain does a dumb, stupid brain anyway.:red:

Thanks for all the help i bought a new one at the local dealer it was 83.00 plus some tax. I had the job done in 25 minutes what a relief to have it over and was a piece of cake to do it.:twothumbs:

Cool beans!:thumb:

Glad to hear you got things taken care of minnesotapaul.

My 06 HHR also lost its power steering. My husband had a serious accident because of this to the tune of $8000 worth of damage! Dealer keeps telling me no recall. Why not, Chevy? It's the same mechanism as the Cobalt. My accident has been reported to the Safety Board - hopefully, they'll respond. What does it take to get a safety issued heard? Very disappointed in the Chevy hierachy!

Have only 2 words for you.....LAW YER.

Glad I signed up for this forum a while back. Today my EPS just started cutting out at random. :cussingmad: Tried to see if it was at a certain speed, turn radius, or anything like that and it's not :pullinghair: --completely random. And I drive an 09:thumbsdow:

:clueless:recall:clueless:

any news yet of a recall on the power steering motor?

I seen a mesage that had pictures of how to take out the power steering motor now I can't find it can someone help?

it is in the 'how to guide' section https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/how-tutorial-library-21/power-steering-motor-replacement-w-pics-31289/

Power Steering, Intermittent
 

Thank you for answering my trouble shooting conundrum. My power steering periodically goes out; I called the local Dealer to price both the motor and the column. He had sold a few motors but never a column thus statistically it is the motor that is the problem. I Bought the motor today, will replace tomorrow.

Are all years and models of HHR's affected? Were the replacement motors installed as a running change on the last couple years of HHR's? Are these replacement PS motors dated either on the box or part itself?
Thanks,
Motoretro

affected by what? They break.

I have a 2006 HHR LT that the power steering light keeps coming on and I lose my power steering. If I shut the car off and restart it, its works fine for awhile. I spoke with the dealer he said no recall issued for the year. What are your recommendations. I don't have $700 the dealer quoted.

GM Recalls Older Model Vehicles to Fix Power Steering

Read this link, then take it to your dealer. NOT a recall, a Lifetime Warranty. Seems like a lot of dealers are playing a game of answering your question and not one word more.


But, the part only costs about $115 and takes 30 minutes to do.

I SEARCHed "power steering" and got this thread first suggestion. https://www.google.com/url?q=https:/...CU1hvnVhUsfPGA

Hi Guys,
I fixed it by replacing a front bad tire, it has a very small knob under the tire, so it was causing vibration that the computer detected, It was till I changed the front tires that it was solved by itself,
after like 6 months I had the same problem so I checked for any vibration again and it was the front brake pads needed a replacement and was causing small vibrations so I changed the brake pads and it solved the problem again, I havent had the problem since 2 years ago. :thumb::bow::twothumbs:

Is GM still doing the recall on the PS motor....

Motoretro

Yes - an extended warranty. Read the info in the previous posts.

Thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't sure, the thread is a bit old. I stumbled across a really clean, low mileage HHR 1/2 panel and the Carfax doesn't seem to indicate the PS motor was replaced.:thumb:

Any GM dealer can confirm for you if you supply the VIN.

oooo a panel!!! That would be fun. Let us know how it goes for you.

If it isn't broken they will not fix it!

Thanks, I'm negotiating now on the vehicle.
