Used 2006 Chevrolet HHR Consumer Reviews
No problems whatsoever
To whoever paid $800.00 for an alternator you got ripped big time, you can buy these for 89.00 at about any auto parts store, mine now has 93,000 miles and it had a recall on the wiring harness and that all it ever had done to it still runs and drives like new 2.4 engine is the better of the 2 engines mine is a lt model I will drive it till it no longer goes then I will buy a new one they will stop these in 2011 as I was told, varoooom
Just a little unhappy
I agree with other buyers that the car looks great but it does need better fabric seats! My car has expeienced can't getting the key out the ignition! I not to happy about that because I havn't had the car that long. Overall, I would still stay with Chevy. Going to get a 2009 HHR! I think that one will be much better.
CHEVY HHR IS JUNK. A CAR THAT SHOULD NEVER HAVE
Bought the HHR new. This has been the biggest piece of junk, money pit I have ever owned. Constant front end problems. This car has been in the shop more than all for the cars I have owned in the last 50 years combined.This has been an undependable vehicle since it was new. The blower motor control has been replaced 4 times and has gone bad again. Before 60,000 the brakes and rotors have had to be replaced 3 times.Most all of my driving is highway commuter miles. I will never again own a GM product.

Needed new alternator at 98,000 miles
Updates "Smooth Ride" 7/22/09 and "Needed new engine at 71,000 miles pm 8/22/09. Car would not start. Got jumped, went a mile, car died big time. Towed to dealer. $816 for new alternator. Battery is still OK. If you buy an American car new, get that 100,000 mile warranty!
Beautiful car from the outside.
I bought my 2006 Chevy hhr ls used with 72000 miles in early 2009. Three months in I begin to experience shaking in the front end when brakes are applied. My brakes get checked and replaced but still the problem continues. Two years and 25k mi later this issue has gotten worse and worse to now the whole steering wheel shakes. Several different dealerships were unable to find the cause of the issue. As many others have stated, the interior stains very easily. Not good for young families. The back interior light dome broke. The front ones on the review mirror flicker on and off and sometimes stay on. Everything is backwards. Headlights can almost not be replaced without going to the dealer.
