where are the running boards?
#21
I am one of those people that found out about 2 weeks AFTER I got my HHR that snow brings sand that chews up my car! My car came without Running Boards.
When I showed the dealer....they said to buy running boards.....ya....I have another $500+ and another however much for installation. GRRRR!
It is the ONLY thing I truly DO NOT LIKE about my car!

I'm sorry, but the HHR is a car. No matter how GM tries to spin it, it is still a car. Even if you consider the HHR a station wagon, I have never seen a station wagon with running boards before either.
If GM knows there is a problem, which they do, they should try to fix the problem for the existing customers who were uninformed. If they don't want to put running boards on the HHR as standard, then they should at least inform the customer at the time of purchase. If the customer decides to still not get the running boards, then have them sign a disclaimer so that GM is released from any liability.

I bought my HHR w/o the boards, not knowing at the time about the sandblasting issue. When I found out about it I mentioned it to the dealer and they wanted to charge me retail price for the boards, plus install. I told them had I know about the issue when I purchased the car, I would have held out for the boards before purchasing the car. They then agreed to sell me the boards at the factory option price of $445 and charged me $100 to install them.
To those of you who have not purchased your HHR yet, I might suggest that you make the sale contingent on the boards being installed at the factory option price (painted) and no charge for labor. Go ahead and buy the car...but get it in writing that they will install them at no extra charge at a date in the near future. That way if you are financing the car, the cost of the boards can be included in the amount financed.
If they don't want to do that, I'd tell them you'll be looking elsewhere until you find a dealer who can accomodate you.
