Finally - A problem with my HHR

First time my HHR has been to the dealer for a repair other than the turbo upgrade or the fuel pump TSB.

My B2B warrantee expires on Monday March 28th, so I went over the car with a fine tooth comb. I found that the passenger side window switch LED was dark, so they replaced it without issue, even though it was such a miniscule problem. I guess that I gotta count my blessings as one of the fortunate ones, but at least there's some success stories about HHR ownership on the site.

There are a lot of HHR success stories, you just don't see them posted. Most folks get involved with boards like this one, because they have a problem. I have a 2007 bare bones LT, which has been very reliable and trouble free.

Same here. The only problems we had with our 06 LT were early on. The cowl leak and the shifter getting stuck. The dealer fixed both issues and we've not had a problem since.

I agree with Laco, it's rare for someone to take the time to post "All is well". Reading the forums gives the false impression that these cars are lemons. Posted problems and SOLUTIONS make these forums incredibly valuable though so keep the problem posts coming.
