problem #1

Jan 312015

HHR LS

  • Automatic transmission
  • 31,468 miles

I have had my door (driver side) fly open on me while driving a few times now. The first actual incident occurred on 10/19/2014. I went straight to the dealership and finally after slamming the door several times, the latch caught. The second incident occurred on the passenger front door on 12/10/14. I went down to the dealership yet again and the service man there put lube on it and it started working. Then today (Saturday) I went back to the dealership and now it is the driver door that flew open on me while I was driving and could have cost me my life.

So I go to the dealership and they told me that I do have extended warranty, but the warranty place is closed, so they don't know what is covered so I need to continue driving in my unsafe vehicle until Monday. I have an 8 and a 2 year old. My vehicle is the family vehicle and I work for the school district. I purchased my HHR from that dealership, but they couldn't resolve my issue until the weekday is here. Ed Bozarth, nice, right!!!!! Thanks a lot!!!!
