Just wanted to know how much the repair costs if the car is out of warranty for this shifter/key stuck problem.
thanks

 

Sorry couldn't tell. I think most of us who had this problem had it repaired under warranty

we know it was a 06 problem and into 07.
Found this in a gov't recall/ service problems. strange it says '08 HHR and was nothing on the 06-07 on it but they did have a arm length list for the 06's. Maybe talking with the service manager, you can get it done free, depending how far your 07 is out of warranty or they may split the cost.

 

I'm pretty sure that's just a TSB not a recall. You can look up TSBs on NHTSA.

 

Didn't mean to imply that it was a recall, error on my part. Just wanted to put out the service bulletin number so Mudd274 would have that.

 

I am wanting to know the cost of the repair so I can decide on getting the extended warranty or taking my chances of this not being a problem. Want to weigh the cost of the two and then make a discision. So far the only problem with my car has been discolored bow ties that the dealer replaced. 36/36 goes out in 400 miles.
thank everyone for their input.

 

$200-$250

 

thanks a million cm

 

a million? NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!
