| 2006 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | INITIALLY, I HAD INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 CHEVY HHR. THE KEY SWITCH WOULDN'T TURN ALL THE WAY OFF TO RELEASE THE KEY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY "COULDN'T MAKE IT DO IT" (FOR WHICH THEY HAVE A RECORD). AFTER ABOUT A YEAR-AND-A HALF OF THIS INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, MY KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AT ALL. I WAS OUT OF TOWN, STAYING AT A HOTEL AND HAD TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION OVERNIGHT. I READ MY OWNERS MANUAL AND FOUND THE HIDDEN RELEASE BUTTON IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND BECAUSE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR THAT IS DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS TO SEE IF WAS RECALLED, I HAVE UNCOVERED NUMEROUS CHEVROLET HHR OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND IT IS A FAULTY SHIFT LINKAGE. THIS ITEM NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR |
