Replying to: dcrews (Feb 01, 2009 10:10 pm) I have had the same problem. The drivers side door handle broke off when I was trying to get a parking ticket at the hospital. I called the dealer and he said just for labor to take the door panel off was $134. this didn't include the part which he didn't give me a price for. It is when I took it to have the oil changed and was told they had been having problems with the door handles breaking off and instead of recalling them they just made them better and out of metal instead of plastic. This would cost me $350.00 for the door panel. Well since I am retired I cannot afford that price . What if I was in an accident and had to get out of the car in a hurry, and couldn't get my window down in order to open my door.Is it going to take someone getting killed in order for them to fix this problem.?? Or has this already happened and we just don't know about it. I have contacted Gm and am now awaiting a reply to this problem.

Hi all !   Is anyone with this same yr. HHR had a problem with the Windshield Cracking for no reason. Mine cracked yesterday after parking in my driveway. The glass coverage is expire for the 12 months/12,000 mile limit. The extended warranty does not cover glass (of course).   I'm being charge $260.00 plus tax for a new windshield. The only good thing about this is that they will come out to my job site to install it.   If enough of us have this problem then there might be some recourse for reimbursement ........ !!!!

Replying to: combosabor (Aug 25, 2009 5:48 pm) If you had a stone chip or a stress crack, a rapid temperature change will cause a full crack... such as air conditioning or cold water (rain, hose) vs hot glass in summer heat. (That works in reverse too... if you had the interior very cold then parked in hot direct sun, that will cause a crack as well.) That unfortunately is good ol' physics, and is not covered by warranty or legal avenues.   kcram - Pickups/Wagons Host

Replying to: combosabor (Aug 25, 2009 5:48 pm) If your not sure one way or another you may want to check if you have glass coverage with your insurance.

Replying to: martha63 (Jul 20, 2009 11:21 am) Here it is, September, 2009, and my driver's door handle just broke off in my hand. My car has 50,000 miles on it. I was told the panel was $299 and nothing was mentioned about the labor cost. My son is going to try to fabricate a part to repair the handle, we shall see. When it is done, this being unconscionable and deadly to safety, I'm ditching the car and buying a used Subaru. I've have an old Subaru (18 years old) with 350,000 miles on it...door handles don't break on that car. Chevy can take their plastic car and shove it.

Replying to: gruffy (Oct 02, 2009 1:55 pm) A real American sheep that pisses on their own shoes. Send your money to Japan and keep paying tax dollars to invest in GM. Like owning a McDonalds franchise and buying your lunch at Burger King.   Then when you have other problems with the car you gave your money to the Japanese for, you can be much more forgiving because it's not American.   Today's Americans should be ashamed of themselves.
