Replying to: jamiegisi (Jul 02, 2006 3:45 pm) Jamiegisi, If you don't mind me asking, what is the name of your dealership and city that's it? My dealership replaced the theft deterrent module and the issue is still there. I was hoping they(dealerships) would be able to communicate and come up with something since GM has no clue what the problem is. Was it the main computer they replaced? Or one of the others?
#8 of 155 Remote Starter Will Not Work by dravencrs May 09, 2006 (7:12 am)
Just purchased a 2006 HHR in March, 2006. This past Friday, got into the vehicle, started it and the "Service Passenger Airbag" message came on. Then later on that night noticed that the remote starter did not work. Took it to the dealer today who told me that GM Tech Line said that this problem was very new and they didn't know much about it, but the passenger airbag was malfunctioning and that was causing the remote start not to work. They told the dealer to change the "relay" part - that has been fixing the problem. So, if the message reappears or if the remote start still does not work, then I am to call the dealer back and let them know. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what did the service dept. tell you? Thanks. Replies to this message: ficetee (Jun 29, 2006 2:22 pm)

Replying to: dravencrs (May 09, 2006 7:12 am) Yes, I've experienced the same problem. It started before I drove off the lot. The driver info center kept flashing between "Service Passenger Airbag" and "Powersteering." They ended up keeping it for 2weeks. Replaced a relay. It was okay for a while, but the problem came back a few weeks later, followed by the powersteering, windshield wipers and a/c going out whenever these messages appeared. Took it back to the dealer for the 2nd time, this time however, after having it for a week, they determined there was a loose connector?? I have no idea what that means. But it seems to have fixed the problem. I hope this helps.
#10 of 155 Car not starting by sunnyday13 Jul 17, 2006 (6:08 pm)
Have owned the car 5 weeks and twice it would not start. Key will not turn. First time it did start with the automatic starter. Second time we had to call Customer Service, he said pull steering wheel hard to left. It started? Anyone else hear of this? Replies to this message: ray80 (Jul 18, 2006 4:45 am)

Replying to: sunnyday13 (Jul 17, 2006 6:08 pm) From what you describe, it sounds like what has nahppened on several different vechicles I've owned. Usually its from having tension (holding) steering wheel when you turn vehicle off, then when you let go, the wheel may turn a bit and lock and be hard to release when trying to start again. 'fix' in this case is to let go of steering wheel before shutting off, and perhaps not move it to lock position.
#12 of 155 Total power loss by walger Jul 29, 2006 (3:05 pm)
My husband and I bought a HHR may 1 and it has gone back so many times . We are just driving along and all the alrms start ringing, the gas gauge goes to empty and the truck just stops. After waiting for 1/2 hour it will start and run for one minute and then quit again. After they change a few pins they said that was it. Then it happened again. Now they sya they need to replace the whole fuse block . I asked for a new car the ervices guys said I should get one but I have to deal with GM who want to explore all opotions. Mean while I still have to pay for a truck I don't have the pleasure of using. Is anyone else having this problem???

Replying to: nortsr1 (Jul 30, 2006 2:56 am) I think the writer means they want a replacement for the HHR with the starter problems

Replying to: walger (Jul 29, 2006 3:05 pm) you might want to research what the lemon laws are for your state if they cant fix the problem....each law varies by state as does the arbitration process....   lemon laws start with the dealership first.....
