And just what do you base this conclusion on? The few reports on this forum? Do you have access to all the service records for all 2008-09 HHR's?
Over 12K on my SS and the only 2 issues where a recent popped up shifter cable and a tire pressure sensor that was just replaced. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky few without problems.

IC sensor and Power Window problems. Yea right, these and 'similar' problems reported on several threads here.
Checked out numerous sites for a variety of comparable vehicles and sorry I haven't seen a high user dissatisfaction rating nor excessive quality issues relating to the HHR or SS. I agree that between engineering, assembly QA and Dealer prep the car should be delivered w/o issues. And I definitely understand the immense disappointment and frustration of taking delivery of a faulty car, day one. That said let's not condem (without real evidence) the whole race on a few of what I truly believe, is an exception. The only repeated, 'recall' problems I've seen are the automatic brake issue (very serious) and the RPD for the 5-spd which GM hasn't allowed to be released till resolved. For sure there are other recalls and most certainly numerous other problems, but isn't that true for every car and every major electrical/mechanical product (i.e. again the Space Shuttle).

You come into a forum and with less than 10 posts start talking about how a car should be recalled and you expect people to sit back and say your right?
Get a grip!

You didn't listen, I was suggesting a possible recall on the IC pipe and sensor. I'm just merely trying to find how many others had problems, not trying to lead a revolution.

Have a nice day.

09 SS for 26K? WTF??? I paid 22900 for an '08. You got ripped off!!! Mine has been in the shop for low tire pressure on the 18" rims. Other than that, it's been fine.
Folks that say that bringing it back to fix little issues need to take note, my '08 Honda Civic has never been back. That's what an American made car will do for you. The HHR is Mexican made. Thank Clinton and his predecessors for NAFTA. My Honda was made in Ohio. GM and the other "American-made" vehicles ought to take notice.
Anyone wonder why Honda and Toyota are not asking for a bailout?

I think GM did a great Job and the car performs like none other.
The down side to the internet is a few complain and the entire model is bad. Nobody wants to be left out.
