PROBLEMS with my HHR by sinof7476
Jul 20, 2006 (9:40 pm)
My husband installed and Airaid Intake into our HHR. When he went to turn it on with the remote and then turned it on manually it shut off and made a piercing sound. He tried to put the stock one back and the car still would not start. Is there sort of a reset button that will make the car start again? Please Help . Thank you.

That doesn't sound good. I haven't heard of anyone else having this happen, but just a thought, try disconnecting negative battery cable then unplug and plug back in MAF connection and ensure its tight then re-connect battery.

INSIDE MIRROR WITH COMPASS by 52chevy
Jul 21, 2006 (1:41 pm)
I JUST PURCHASED A HHR FOR MY WIFE. SHE LOVES THE VECHICLE BUT MISSES THE INSIDE MIRROR WITH THE COMPASS FEATURE. MY LOCAL CHEVY PARTS DEPT. HAS THE MIRROR. BUT THE CONNECTOR ON THE MIRROR IS MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE I HAVE. DO YOU THINK THE WIRE HARNESS IS ALREADY IN THE HEADLINER???

Thank you.. We discovered after pondering and worrying all night and reading the manual.. that it was because the key was left in the ignition... it discrambled his key. We tried my key and everything is A okay. I drove my baby to L.A. this morning and she sounded and rode beautifully.

HHR Paint Problem....feels rough & looks dull?? by aprilw
Jul 31, 2006 (8:52 am)
Hi All,
Bought a 2006 HHR on July 5, 06, with the Spring Edition Pkg. Victory Red Ext. ($1500 option)with running boards, and just noticed that the paint across the top of the doors and top, and back, etc., almost all over, feels very rough. I didn't notice this until after getting the car washed for the first time. Now paint looks dull and feels rougher in these areas. Has anyone else had this problem? I've just contacted the dealer and am hoping for a quick resolution. Just wanted to check to see if anyone's heard of this problem. Thanks

Just a guess, but perhaps its rail dust from transport. I think clay bar is supposed to help with that (just from what I've heard)

agree,....use a clay bar on it...will take care of the problem...probably rail dust or other contaminants during shipping..normal dealer prep will not take it off....professional detailer.....can handle...or a few hours work by you will take care of the problem

Re: Wind Noise .......Anyone else have it ??? [carguy99] by jwest208

I've had my HHR LS since the end of January and I did notice some noise from the passenger side. My dealership also told me that this was "normal" and that nothing could be done. However, after having my A/C system "updated" as per a GM service bulletin, the interior is much quieter. The A/C bulletin specifically addressed the "growling" from the A/C system, but it seems to have had some effect on the amount of noise coming through the firewall. Hope this helps.

5000 miles and many problems by disappointed9
Aug 14, 2006 (4:42 pm)
I bought a HHR LT-2 about 3 months ago it had a vibration in it when i test drove it. i requested to the dealership dealership to balance tires before i picked it up. Still has a vibration in it. I have been told the firestone tires are bad. Its been back in the shop 5 times for bad tires, it also had bad front rotors - they have been turned down 2 times now - so far that is fixed. It also developed a hard starting problem, found it had a bad fuel pump on it. 3 days in the shop to get a fuel pump - now ok so far. Now ive noticed when air is on & taking off from a stop - it makes a growling/groaning noise - sounds like a weed eater or sewing machine or something like it. Has anyone else had these problems & at what point should i demand different brand of tires be put on my car. Ive been told there is a service bulletine out on the tires. Ive already requested a different brand of tire - it has been rejected. I will be going back to HONDA after this experience - even though the dealership has been pretty good to deal with
