I'd have to make sure the battery has a full charge. Then go from there. The fact that a few electricals work doesn't mean the battery has a full charge. Next, I'd have to check your starter and make sure the engine isn't trying to seize.

Find wiring diagrams , get a voltmeter an test the electrical circuits , quit reading posts an stop looking for a common problem between all HHR's. Or take it to a qualified repair shop .
If you're having power steering problems fluid is not the answer. I have a 06' HHR just started having a problem too. There is no fluid as it is electric assist and not hydraulic. The motor is located behind the knee panel just below the steering wheel. Two screws along the bottom edge release the trim panel. There is another white panel behind that secured with four screws. Once removed you will see the electric power steering motor. A somewhat easy fix if you are sure it is the motor. Loose fuses, connectors, and corroded ground wires wreak havoc with these cars and cause intermittent failures. Check all these first especially if there are no stored codes before spending bigger bucks on the motor which doesn't always fix the problem from what I've read online. -Mike-
Starter located on the engine, from under car look between engine and radiator, where engine connects to transmission, that is the starter. Check links below, press the helpful button Chevy HHR starter location and removal
