#38 of 79 Loss of console lights and tail lights including brake lights by hawktrap Jul 05, 2008 (7:46 am)
I have a 2008 HHR 1000miles on it 2 nights ago I lost my console lights; tech speedo ect still on; also lost tail lights and brake lights. OnStar ran diagnostic and said something like the IPC did not wake up when car was started. They said maybe after shutting off car the system may come back up. I tried it several times that nite with no success. I drive home with no console lights and no tail or brake lights. The next morning I started the car up in my driveway and all was fine. Is the HHR a day light running vehicle only? Replies to this message: ray80 (Jul 07, 2008 6:29 am) hawktrap (Jul 07, 2008 6:59 am) amyf2 (Dec 03, 2008 11:32 am)

Replying to: hawktrap (Jul 05, 2008 7:46 am) Yes, it is meant to be driven only in daytime when it can be seen . Actualy it is most likely loose fuse or bad ground wire for IPC or something like that. Replies to this message: hawktrap (Jul 07, 2008 6:59 am)

Replying to: ray80 (Jul 07, 2008 6:29 am) I'll check the fuses; in the mean time I called the dealer on Sat the 5th. I asked if they have had this issue before! They said this was something new to them!! I'll get the car in this week after work. I also noticed that day. driving home that the radio shut off and I had a call (on the radio read out) on my car ph when I answered it. On Star said hello On Star ready. It happen 2x's. No one has my car ph# and no one was on the ph

I have had the radio/CD player replaced 4 times. The stations change at will, the CDs skip around from one CD to another.   Most importantly, when the electrical system goes out (all the gages) the break lights don't work and neither do the airbags.   This car is a death trap - don't buy one!   It is a big Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Jul 07, 2008 9:23 am)

Replying to: marti8 (Jul 07, 2008 7:37 am) So because yours is having problems that makes every HHR a lemon. Well, mine and many many thousands of us have had no problems. Since all of us have had no problems than maybe it isn't the car that is the after all. Only time will tell.
#44 of 79 53 documented service trips by marti8 Jul 07, 2008 (9:56 am)
After 53 documented service trips I am pretty sure the car is at fault here, not the driver as suggested by the gentleman in the last post. I would not wish the problems I have had with this car on anyone. Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Jul 08, 2008 3:21 pm)

Sounds to me like you should take it to a different dealer if you haven't already as the one you have sounds like a

Wow, the car has been to as dealerships, so, again; I am pretty sure this HHR is a lemon anbd not the owner; as suggested by Dave. If you want to test drve this mold infested; brake failing; non working electrical system; pos hhr; let me know and I will loan it to you. Some women know cars; caution your attitude toward the ladies! M
