2006 CHEVROLET HHR RECALL - #14V047000
RECALL FOR AIR BAGS
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles.

I LOVE MY HHR. IT'S SLEAK AND STYLISH. RECENTLY I AM GETTING A FUNNY HESITATION SOUND WHEN I START IT. COULD BE THE IGNITION SWITCH OR SOME SORT OF DELAY IN THE WIRING SOMEWHERE. I BOUGHT IT FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP A YEAR AGO, SO I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THE ORIGINAL OWNER TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALLED IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE. MY QUESTION IS THIS: IS IT TOO LATE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AS RECALLED?

The front struts in my 2006 HHR were making a knocking noise, and you could feel it in the sterring wheel. i took it back to the dealer that i bought the car from. They ordered the new struts and installed them under the warrinty work. They went out of bussiness a few months later, as well as the warrinty, and the struts they installed, now the drivers door handle has broken inside the door panle. What is next? I have own nothing but Chevy's for the past 34 years, but I'm looking at something else if I continue to have problems such as these. Looking on line there are a number of people that are having the same problems with the struts, and door handles. A recall on these items should be addressed.
