BTB Warranty Ends Soon~What should I check?
My Bumper to Bumper Warranty Expires on Sept. 14. What inspections should I make to see if anything is potentially needed. My HHR is a 2010 Panel LS with 14,000 miles.
Currently I am not aware of anything that is wrong as the Panel runs and drives great However, after looking around the Forums there is no shortage of problems. Perhaps those of you whom are more familiar with these Vehicles have some incite as to what to look out for.
Thanks in advance

Chevymgr can chime in better on this but
I would have your dealer look it over
Check everything.
Low mileage
But check
Steering column
Any leaks.
Another words i wouk d biting it in eexplain to the dealer
That you just want them to go over it since your bumper to bumper warranty
Is almost up.
How does it drive any rattles on a bumpy road etc?

Check the wheel bearings, since they are Not covered for 2010 on 5 yr or 100K Powertrain warranty..
PS: Don't be discouraged by the posts with problems.. Most never Post how great theirs is & has been..

Mines been great no issues except the darn stuck key. I'm at 73,000 now. Still original brakes too.
But have them check struts and sway bar bushings. Common issues that cause the clunk in the front end.

Good advice - will just add, eyeball the rear shocks and front stuts for any signs of leakage (yeah the dealer can check, but doing it yourself might make you feel more assured they are ok).

Look for rust bubbles on the bottom door seams, mine were "fixed" under the 3yr. However make sure they do proper anti-rust sealer inside and out, not just grind and repaint which would be worse than leaving it alone.
