Update:

Going to the dealer tomorrow @3pm. They say they have the part and it is covered by warranty.

 

Well I got it fixed yesterday, got the control assembly replaced (K5225) along with a new floor shifter. So now I'm happy~ Cept my sister isn't because shes not allowed to drive our vehicles anymore

and I got an oil change. Happy HHR

 

Hey I thought you could not drive for a while.
It was a sitting in a HHR thing?

 

Well my older sister drove it to the dealership with me. No I can't drive again yet (hopefully soon) but my car will be sitting at my house until the time being... BUT I'll be driving it around the neighborhood so my battery and stuff doesn't go bad!

btw, driving on reduced engine power sucks! Just trying to get to the dealership, the car was just putt putt putt... Going so slow, took us forever :'(
And I went to Bill Heard Chevy to get it fixed, incase anyone was wondering

 

Got mine back last evening. Replace the shifter. Works great.

same with mine jiggling the steering seems to work.

 

to the site Jakester!!!

 

Oops, wrong thread

 

got mine fixed today, it was 15926921 the shifter assembly. Dropped it off at 8 ready to pick up at 1045. They found change under there Gave it back to me with old knob and the new shift indicator(old one is chrome from dash kit). Might make old knob into a suicide knob
