Do newer HHR's (09-11) have some of the same ills of earlier HHRs?
Specifically the intermediate drive shaft clunk or water leaking into the passenger compartment (think there was a membrane under the cowl that was sometimes leaking and also HHRs with sunroof sometimes had an issue.
Might be back in the market for another HHR but would like to know if the newer models still had same issues
Thanks

Do a search for more, but some failed at very early mileage. The symptom was a rattle coming right from the column at lower speeds over rough pavement. My '06 had it happen at about 20K miles or so. Not all of them had a problem, just more than you would expect.

I know my '08 has been more reliable by far than the '06 I had but that doesn't take much to accomplish as the 06 was the most troublesome car I have owned. The 08 still had the issue with the end links making a racket which was replaced under warranty and some tire sensors failed early in its life. Other than the end links, I haven't experienced any of the other common early failures on the 08.

No issues with my 11/2009 built HHR other than an Service Air Bags message which was easily repaired by the Dealer (connectors needed dialectric grease) and a broken Battery vent tube. The new tube looked like a redesign.
