You are in the Chevrolet HHR Maintenance & Repair Forum. Your Host is kcram
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

Replying to: djm2 (Oct 06, 2006 4:50 am)  ). I would much rather wait until they get the kinks worked out and then buy one. 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.

Please check the discussion list here in the Chevrolet HHR Group for the appropriate "problems" discussion to post in. We're moving away from these large generic discussions, and setting up smaller more focused ones. This is a work in progress, so if you don't find a discussion that fits the issue you want to talk about, please feel free to create a new one and we can adjust things later if need be. Thanks for your patience and assistance as we move the furniture around! I'll be moving posts out of this discussion to help get the new ones rolling, so if you find that some posts seem to have disappeared, that's the explanation. Just check the discussion list for the group by clicking on the link in this post to find the appropriate discussion. |
