My newly purchased 2007 HHR LT has 206k miles. I don't have much history on it other than what I know at the moment. Both lower control arms and ball joints need to be replaced, air intake hose, heat blend door actuator, right door speaker and more than likely a clogged A.C. drain. I had the power steering assist module replaced last week by the dealership because it was still under warranty. 🙌
I have had my fair share of repairs since I bought the car in February. I think I pretty much have a new suspension. I blew out two tires by hitting a drain culvert...damn expensive French fries. The following week my steering knuckle broke and I feel I probably damaged it when I blew out the tires. Bought two additional tires once control arms were replaced.
Still waiting on quote for body work and paint.

2011 lt1 w/ approx. 221,000 miles ... had a brake pulsation, so changed the rotors. that envelope is in between the 2 friction surfaces If those friction surfaces came apart, i don't thinks a truck load of tighty-whiteys would be enough !!!
My advice, check them rotors ALL over, when your in that area!!
These pictures saddens me as to think that you would allow the brake rotors to become DANGEROUS to others.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you are fixing them but I have to wonder why it took so long.
They had to be squealing to be changed for a long time.
what new vs. 221,000 miles rotors look like
