Also, on occassion, I will start the car while standing in the doorway of the house....you know, press the lock button, press the start button for 2 seconds, then press the unlock button for access. Everything works the way it was intended........my belief is your dealer is giving you a "band aid" and not doing the correct repair.

Well I dunno, the lady said its something to do with a security function on 2007 models. All I know is if we push unlock then put the key in it starts everytime so who knows, I cant hardly belive it but it does work.
They also fixed the dash rattle, there was a loose screw and a couple bad retainers. Cost me nothing but they billed GM $250.
Im just glad its fixed and we can get back to enjoying the HHR.

Sometimes we go to start it and its just nothing, the headlights come on and dash lights...but it doesnt even crank. We then try a couple more times and it finally cranks.....WTF?

I Love my HHR. I got it the end of May and already have a little over 13,000 miles couldnt wait to drive it from Oklahoma to VA to show my Daughter , her first words "mom that is an ugly car she has no taste she then drove it and said it was the best driving car she has ever been in.She loved how it handled and could see why i was so crazy about my new car. I have only had one problem with mine and that was the AC would just blow hot if you hit a bump or turned it off and on it was cold again. that was just fixed threw the Deal and no have had no other problems. The only thing now is i am waiting to see what colors they put on the 08 may have to do an upgrade. Buy it you will Love IT

Almost 16,000 miles, ordered 8/32/05; delivered 10/03/05 nothing but smiles. The overall value is awesome, been out of town the past 3 weeks and driven other vehicles (rentals) made me appreciate the HHR all the more... two thumbs up from me!

New 06 HHR 2LT
Hello everyone,
We just purchased our 06 HHR (Daytona Blue) from a dealer in VA. The same dealer we purchased our 04 SSR (Smokin Asphalt). It was new and still on their lot. We like the color, the ride, the power, the looks, (did I leave anything out???).
As far as we go...you can't go wrong with the HHR.
