problem #5

HHR LX 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles

IT HAPPENED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER MY 3 YEAR WARRANTY RAN OUT. I AM ELDERLY AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED, SO I HAVE LEARNED TO ROLL WINDOW DOWN, OPEN DOOR, ROLL WINDOW BACK UP. SHUT OFF CAR.

THE ONLY COMPLAINT I HAVE EVER HAD. I LOVE MY 2011 HHR, IT NOW HAS 46,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT IN 2013. I DON'T GO FAR ANY MORE, HAVE NEVER GONE FAR ENOUGH TO GET A REALLY GOOD MPG ON IT. I USUALLY GET ABOUT 17 MPG.

plastic!!!!! cheap< BARBIE DOLL CAR! I loved this vehicle I even wanted it so bad I let Regency, Lakeland, FL screw me over the price, sold it to me AS brand new with 28,000 mies on it Aug/2011, paid for an extra 3 yrs, bumper to bumper protection, thinking 6 yrs, but they voided out the 1st 3 years, and started the new 3 yr immediately

I have a total of 3 interior door handles broken. Im the only person driving it, I live alone, and have no kids!

Now my ABS and traction light is on, they said that will be almost $500!I replaced 1 part in the engine cost $34.00, couldn't find the other part, took it to Bartow, FL Stingray, it was hidden under some hoses, cost $200.00! They couldn't even drive me back to my house 2 miles, next morning I walked to pick it up!

To do door handles will be $700! I have to roll my window down to use the outside hand to open the door! First time 3 were broken I crawled over the seats to get out!

I have 48,000 miles on it! I wish I would have bought a KIA 10 yr bumper to bumper warranty!Always a dedicated Chevy customer, but not any more!
