problems over 100,000 miles
Hello HHR fans!
I have a 2006 HHR Daytona Blue Metalic LT 2.2 every single thing that is discussed on this site has happened to this car from the recent power steering assist getting replaced to the oldie but goodie keys stuck in the ignition. Other things like the wiper arm assembly to the drivers side door speaker going out, leaving me chimeless, have also occurred. I still enjoy driving this vehical.
My question is what can I expect to break now that I have hit 100,000 miles? Any surprises that I might not be aware of that will occur? I know car maintenance and the day to day things like fluid changes, but anything specific to the HHR. Comments and opinions are welcome! Real life stories or experiences are most helpful!
Thanks!

Get some amsoil full synth trannie fluid in there, cuz you don't want that one next. At 107k, im doing timing chain tensioner (noisy start up). Pretty sure these car will do 300k and more without a problem. Listen and feel, that will head off most problems before they get out of hand.
Did plugs, top end, injector, tb cleaning. Anti freeze.rotors pads. Think im all set for a while.

I'm just shy of 200,000 miles, did the chain tensioner three years ago still quiet on start up, change trans fluid and filter at 100,000 miles will change again in next week or two
I've had pretty much all the quirky things over the last 6 years and 166,000 miles I've owned my 2007 2.2 automatic.
Keep your ears open for any noises and check them as soon as you hear them, keep it clean and drive it often!
