Hate to say it, but you're in the heart of the "rust belt", and if memory serves me right...y'all had an awful winter up there.
It sounds like you're a victim of "Pennsylvania Fender Solvent" AKA road salt. There is a corrosion warranty on the HHR from the factory, so you might want to talk to your dealer about a "goodwill" repair, even though you're barely past 100k on the clock.
I edited your title to include (rust), because it gave me heart failure thinking that you were ill.

Bummer. All my lower doors are rusting. It started 4 months after I got the car, new. My first hhr didn't. It's obvious from looking that the assembly was different at the seams. GM's "goodwill" fix made the rust come back a month later and with a vengeance. I'd be very wary of any fix from a dealer.
