Yeah, I got an appointment for the HHR tomorow. got a few issues with her.
cluster stop working this morning, both front strutts are leaking, I have a super ball type noise comming from the dash when going over bumbs and there is a recall to be address on her to. the worst part is that it only has 24000KMS on her. can't wait to see how long they will take to fix her up.

Can you explain the "super ball noise" a little more, I've got a weird "boiiiiiiing" noise coming from under the drivers side dash when I hit bumps.

my jimmy used to always make the boiling / water bubbling noises, never really knew what it was, usually when i hit the gas.

the superball noise sounds interesting, it would be crazy if you found a bunch of em in there.

I had something like that.. It was a bent tab on one of the dash panels or something like that... I think it happened when they replaced the steering column but I am not sure.

That sounds about right, it is a new sound that wasn't there until about a month ago and it has almost a metallic sound to it. Comes and goes, but seems worse when it it cold out side, but goes away after the car is really warmed up
Just not sure I want to take it in for just that.....

Badboy69, let me know what they find.. If they find it.

Does anyone know how to post a sound clip? I actually recorded it on my digital camera as an MPEG, but don't know how to post?
