problem #1

HHR

  • 9,000 miles
Driver armrest sags; most uncomfortable!! when armrest is put down to the horizontal position, it sags (leans forward). Driver's right arm becomes painful, as it is continually sliding off the front edge of the armrest, when driving. I've had the car to the dealer; he replaced the armrest in warranty, but the leaning forward position is just the same---it was not cured. The dealer said there was nothing further to be done. Incidentally, the passenger's armrest is just fine---it is positioned at the proper right angle. Incidentally, noone has sat on, or heavily leaned on the armrest to cause the difficulty. Sure would appreciate your help with this aggravating problem.
