Both of my keys have round key ring Hole's

 

And the original TSB about removing all of the extra stuff hanging on the keyring. The reason for the smaller round hole; the heavy weight hanging on an angle that would encourage the key to turn. Levers and angles and vectors, physics stuff. Then came the cylinder then the switch. They combined all 3 into one recall , eventually. Some particular cars may show them as 2 recalls. Some people that jumped the gun and couldn't wait for the process got an incomplete job or replacement with the old part. Since the recall replaced keys with the VIN assigned pattern some people that had re keyed before got a set of keys that won't unlock the door.
Part of the recall was supposed to be confiscate and destroy the old keys. That did not happen in all cases. <sarcastic comment about ASE certified mechanics deleted>

 

4 days now and we haven’t heard back from the OP. I guess we just wasted our time telling them to check out a few things like battery voltage and such.
Never understood why people ask for help but don’t do any of the things suggested.

(time stamp shows that mister hhr has been back on the site numerous times since his last post. I’m out. )

 

Impact from a crash or even hitting a bad pothole can permanently damage a battery. If it won't hold a charge, you probably need a new battery, regardless of how new it is.

 

Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans, the OP might not have had anything new to add or is awaiting parts, or just hasn’t had time to address any of our suggestions.

 

I may get around to trying to fix it this weekend weather permitting I'll let you know how it goes.its my wife's car she's been in the hospital since January 9th she's coming home Friday good lord willing.Thanks for your interest

 

You take care of your wife and family, the HHR will be there when you have time. We wish your wife a speedy recovery.

 

So I finally looked at the HHR all the bolts in the underwood fuse box were tight fuses looked good going to charge the battery and have it checked sorry for the delay wife is doing some better hopefully she can start driving here soon.

 

Those bolts need to be past "afraid something would strip".
The large red wire on the outside of the fuse box comes directly from the battery and directly to the starter.

 

Crank those babies down good.
