| I just picked up a 2006 HHR and love it, however, today I noticed several fingerprints on the INSIDE of the gray/black plastic surrounding the instrument cluster...behind the clear plastic. I'm not sure how hard this will be to remedy, or more importantly, how much grief the dealer will give me when I bring it up. I don't know why I didn't notice it before. This one must have been built after siesta...Anyone notice this on their HHR? | |

if you are driving your HHR at 45 mph and up with your back windows down and your front windows up you are going to notice a relly bad buffeting noise in the entire car and it rattles really bad too. If this is hapening, just think in few more months your car is going to breake a part,evrything is going to start getting loose. SO, DONT BUY THE HHR,ITS SUCKS!!! OPEN A CASE NUMBER TOO,DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.OK I complaint, and i have a case number with chevrolet and the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, they are in it.I'm sure is goin to be a RECALL.KEEP ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM.BYE AND GOOD LUCK!

I am in the market for a "new" vehicle. One of the vehicles of interest is the HHR. After reading some of the postings on this and other sites, I am starting to question my desire to own this piece of "Junk"! Can't GM build a vehicle with some level of quality? And they wonder why people purchase Honda vehicles. Wake up GM!!!!!!!!!!!Best regards. --------- Dwayne

Hey even by then the prices will have dropped and I might even be able to buy a good used one. I bought a new 04 Impala, which has been perfect with no problems. I also bought a used 01 S-10 which has been a fairly reliable vehicle, and it has had it's share of repairs, but nothing major. Both of these vehicles were at the latter end of thier production run after most of the major issues had been discovered and fixed and they have been the best vehicles I have ever owned.

Replying to: the_big_al (Jun 27, 2008 3:16 pm) Lets look at the listing of defects of the HHR just on this site, (Edmunds). Water on the floor when it rains Check engine light on Wind noise Radio off "static" Radio on loud crackling pop Paint problems Drive train vibration Bad front rotors Bad fuel pump Growling / groaning noise from the engine when taking off from a traffic light Engine knock on a cold start Lower control arm snapped off while the vehicle was being driven I think that this vehicle has some VERY serious operational problems. At this point in time, I am looking at an Impala, Honda Accord, Ford 500, Toyota Camry, Chevrolet HHR, and the Honda CR-V. The Impala LT2 is a VERY nice vehicle. QUESTION: Did General Motors forget how to design and manufacturer a vehicle? This is more than just "teething" on the part of the HHR. GM has a nice vehicle that could be making them some money, and they "dropped the ball" in terms of quality. I hope the 2007 HHR has more quality! --- Best regards. ----- Dwayne

Replying to: djm2 (Oct 07, 2006 5:36 am) 1-No power; you need to anticipate every hill and accelerate before it's too late. 2-Turning radius too large. 3-Huge blind spots. 4-Plastic cargo floor; everything slides around. 5-At highway speed, I smelled exhaust inside (I believe the rear hatch was not sealed properly). 6-Cup holders too hard to use without looking down away from the road. 7-No decent storage compartment. 8-Window controls are behind shifter and hard to use. 9-Can't open doors without pushing power unlock first. 10-With rear seats up, the headrests are in your rear view. 11-Poor quality radio/sound system. It did ride nice, seats were comfortable, climate control more than adequate and mileage was good. Still.... NO Sale.
