Problems with HHR
Would like to check to see if anyone had these problems.
Gear shift linkage - gear shift froze up - big expense
Lock broke on dash glove box - bought new glove box - over $100
Back latch on trunk stopped working - couldn't open truck
Another big expense
Now my driver side door handle broke - plastic snapped - I have been trying to glue but keeps breaking open. I'm sure this cost alot.

HHR Troubles
Ballplayer, what year is the HHR ? How many miles do you have on it ?
I know of a gal up the street who has a 08 HHR she bought used last October, her shift cable broke about a month ago. She had it towed to the dealer and they replaced all parts and covered the labor even though it has 43,094 miles on it.
I have heard of several door handles breaking when the weather was down around 10*.
Good luck

Top center box is only about $37 from gmpartsdirect, the normal glove (by pass. knees) box you can replace the latch for about $17. You got took.
Too bad you weren't a member earlier and perhaps we could of saved you some bucks. Good luck on getting the other stuff fixed.
Being an '06 you would be out of warranty most likely.

I went to buy the stage kit there for $473 and when I went to check out it was $99 for two map sensors, two plugs and a couple stickers. I don't think the instructions were that heavy.

Profile lists 2006.
I had this happen on mine (also an 06) happen early on, only 2 months after purchase. It was covered under warranty.

I have an '06 and the liftgate won't open with the remote. The vehicle has only 40,000 km but the 3 yr. warranty has expired. GM wants $119.00 just to look for the problem so I'll do it myself when the weather is warmer. I'll post the findings.
