Initially, i had intermittent problems with my 2006 chevy hhr. the key switch wouldn't turn all the way off to release the key. i took it to the dealership while it was under warranty, and they informed me that they "couldn't make it do it" (for which they have a record). after about a year-and-a half of this intermittent problem, my key would not come out of the ignition at all. i was out of town, staying at a hotel and had to leave the key in the ignition overnight. i read my owners manual and found the hidden release button in the steering column. i took it back to the dealership, and because i am out of warranty, i have to pay for this repair that is due to poor craftsmanship. after researching this to see if was recalled, i have uncovered numerous chevrolet hhr owners that have experienced the same problem, and it is a faulty shift linkage. this item needs to be on the recall list. *tr
I have had several issues with my hhr since purchased in september 2005. first incident was the lock on the hatch broke after only owning the car for a few months. next was with the brakes. at first i noticed a noise when i applied my brakes it sounded like something was loose. this nose would come and go. after a few months i started to notice a slight vibration in my steering wheel when braking a few days later that vibration turned to violent shaking and resistance when braking. i took it to the dealer who informed me the rotors were warped and needed to be repaired. this was roughly around 13000 mi. the dealer did repair the rotors under warranty and didn't give me the "it's normal wear & tear" mumbo. next is the check engine light keeps coming on. it will stay on for a few days and then go off. this has happened 3 times already and the dealer has replaced the sensor each time. now we are up to the 4th time as it came back on again yesterday. i have also had issues with the radio. the radio has had power to it and no volume. this happened 3-4 times b/4 i took it to the dealer who had to reset & reprogram something on the radio. *tr
I currently own a 2006 chevrolet hhr. on 1-13-11, i had the interior door handle break off in my hand making it impossible to open the door from the inside of the car. this is a huge safety hazard while driving the car. upon further research on car forums online, i am not the only person that has had this problem. *tr
Door ajar warning does not show until door is more than 3 inches open. this is on all doors except the back hatch. the door ajar warning should come on anytime the door is not completely closed. safety hazard. *nm
Door ajar warning inadequate, when door is a couple of inches open warning institutes, rather than when door is on first safety latch as it should be when ajar, when door is open prior to latch door is open not ajar!safety concern! *nm
