My 06 has been trouble free. When I lived in upstate NY, I had issues in the cars I drove with similiar corrosion issues.

I just rolled over to 126,000 mile last week, and still can get 30+ mpg.

 

nate, you didn't say if you bought it new or used. If used, sounds to me like it's been in an accident with all the suspension parts that had to be replaced. I have an 08 that I bought "new". It was a rental return but I got lucky must have been well maintained and not trashed. Haven't had any problems except for the little annoying things like door latches sticking, visor falling down, left side speakers going out, etc. Nothing that has prevented us from driving it everyday (except when the tanker truck mistakenly put diesel into the "regular" gas storage tank). I will never have any other vehicle than a Chevy. My old 1965 Chevy Van is still runnin strong and has over 300,000 miles on it (engine is a replacement 292 for towing).

 

Noting the mileage and time breakdowns in his initial post, I'd say he bought it new.

 

Why is it people with no post like to seek out web sites and vent real and or trolled accounts of issues in numbers few ever see and expect us to welcome them with open arms? It is not just here.

I just wish if they were people truly looking for help to come in introduce them selves and ask for help vs. Folks that say I hate the car you all own it sucks.

Bud if you are real just let them total the thing and then buy something else that you can vent on to someone else.

Sorry if I am skeptical but I have seen this too many times. Real or not this is no way to seek help or sympathy.

Note many of the issues here are things that just don't add up with out abuse.

x3...although I remember expressing a similar sentiment as hyper6 did in post #24 when, sometime earlier this year, a young lady posted proclaiming her HHR to be the "WORSE car I've EVER had" and stating "I HATE THIS CAR". Some members began to polarize and even act as if I had done something wrong when I stated my opinion. I suggested that she sell it if she really felt that way than come here just to vent/rant. She responded with some smart-assed remarks.

 

Now that the OP has done his venting, and the thread has run its course, we are closing it.
