#128 of 159 Re: 5000 miles and many problems [disappointed9] by pao Aug 15, 2006 (5:39 am)
Replying to: disappointed9 (Aug 14, 2006 4:42 pm) I would ask them to replace the tires.....and the rotor pulsing could be them over tightening or not properly apply the appropriate torque to the lug nuts....thus causing some warpage on the rotors..this was the case with the 04 Malibu Maxx.....simply installing with an impact wrench and not finishing with a torque wrench was causing our problems....   as for HONDA...well go over to the honda forum now and look at the complaints.......I for one wouldnt touch them right now..over priced in my opinion.....and Toyota....trans problems with the new RAV4..and a half million recall on their hybrids for drive shafts......well all cars have problems regardless of make model or cost......good luck with your HHR

Replying to: disappointed9 (Aug 14, 2006 4:42 pm) There is a service bulletin out to fix the "growling" A/C problem. They will replace part of the plumbing for the A/C system. Mine just had this done and is much quieter (but the noise you describe seems much more noticeable than what I had heard).   As for the tires, I've had no major problems with the Firestones on the HHR, but my Venture had Firestones that had problems from day one. This is not just a Firestone issue, though. I previously owned 2 Grand Am GTs and the Goodyears on those cars had problems. I've had problems with most OE tires. The only two tire manufacturers I've been satisfied with were Michelin (pricey) and Cooper. I had so many problems with the Goodyears on my 2000 Dodge Neon that the dealership fought with Goodyear and Chrysler and finally ate the cost to have new Cooper tires put on my car. Hang in there.

Replying to: 52chevy (Jul 21, 2006 1:41 pm) My '06 2LT HHR has the compass on the mirror. Looking at the HHR booklet, it seems this option is available on the LS and 1LT however note this: On the LS it says head-curtain side-impact air bags are required while on the 1LT is only available in conjunction with OnStar.   Please post if you find out other information.
#131 of 159 Cargo Capability by rbowen1063 Aug 18, 2006 (3:41 pm)
I replaced my van with the HHR. I choose the HHR because I thought it had a good cargo area. Much to my surprise, I was able to get 30 bags of mulch (2 cu ft) in the back and still get a passenger in the front. Just some good info. I'm impressed!

Replying to: justlarry (Aug 31, 2006 2:59 pm) After doing a lot of research and reading on the Ecotec "piston slap" I am begining to have second thoughts about buying this vehicle. All the "experts" say that it is nothing to worry about, I think spending $25K on a NEW vehicle with piston slap is just plain nonsense, I will be doing some more research before I lay the big ones down.........

#137 of 159 Cloth Seats by bertv Sep 06, 2006 (11:28 am)
Anyone out there having issues with the cloth seats getting dirty very easily and impossible to clean up? I have a grey interior and it is getting nasty - I have tried the GM recommended cleaner with poor results Replies to this message: aggied (Sep 25, 2006 1:21 pm)
