I bought a 2006 2lt from a Chevy dealer lease turn had 32,000 miles, replaced the windshield normal for a 3 year old auto, I replaced the bushings, links not because of problums why wait would need them sometime, replaced the rear with KYB because I had just turned 50,000miles but they were still good may get struts just because of mileage, I did replace the cam solenoids myself as that was the only problum cost for parts $112.00 changed myself in about 20 minutes, relibilty it is great and love the HHR. change with Mobil 1 at 3000 t0 4000 miles.

We have updated results for the HHR to include owner experiences through June 30, 2011.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2009: 52, about average

2008: 113, worse than average

2007: 68, about average, small sample size

2006: 93, about average

We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

Am coming up on 190K miles – not the highest around, but our `07 is a daily-driver and still looks like a younger car. Am just now on the fourth set of tires, and about the fourth set of brakes – think I may have found the combination on brakes… EBCs seem to be holding up better than OEM stuff… first set of struts and shox went 150K+, change oil (dino) every 5-6K miles and have occasional sensor misread, but generally a very reliable car and expect it to go at least another 100K at this rate…

That true delta is an stubborn site. Takes forever to load and it won't let you close it until it's ready to close.

We've received no other reports of this. It might have been a temporary issue with the site, or a problem with your browser and/or computer. I sometimes have trouble getting browser windows to close on my computer, but in this case it's generally because I need to restart it.
