problem #1

Feb 012010

HHR 4-cyl

  • 65,000 miles
The door handles on both the front driver and front passenger side of the car have broken. You cannot open the car door from the inside unless you lower the window. If the electrical systems failed such as in an accident, the occupants could be trapped inside the car. Even when replacing the door handles by paying for the repairs yourself, the handles just break again before too long since the same materials/parts are used. A quick google search shows 100's to 1000's of other owners of the 2006 HHR with the same problem.
