I LOVE MY HHR. IT'S SLEAK AND STYLISH. RECENTLY I AM GETTING A FUNNY HESITATION SOUND WHEN I START IT. COULD BE THE IGNITION SWITCH OR SOME SORT OF DELAY IN THE WIRING SOMEWHERE. I BOUGHT IT FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP A YEAR AGO, SO I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THE ORIGINAL OWNER TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALLED IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE. MY QUESTION IS THIS: IS IT TOO LATE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AS RECALLED?

The front struts in my 2006 HHR were making a knocking noise, and you could feel it in the sterring wheel. i took it back to the dealer that i bought the car from. They ordered the new struts and installed them under the warrinty work. They went out of bussiness a few months later, as well as the warrinty, and the struts they installed, now the drivers door handle has broken inside the door panle. What is next? I have own nothing but Chevy's for the past 34 years, but I'm looking at something else if I continue to have problems such as these. Looking on line there are a number of people that are having the same problems with the struts, and door handles. A recall on these items should be addressed.

Do you drive a 2006 CHEVROLET HHR?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
