HHR warranty
NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY
GM vehicles registered in the U.S.A. are covered for 3 years/36,000 miles (whichever comes first). The complete vehicle is covered, including tires, towing to your nearest Chevrolet dealership, and cosmetic corrosion resulting from defects. Repairs will be made to correct any vehicle defect, and most warranty repairs will be made at no charge. In addition, rust-through corrosion will be covered for 6 years/100,000 miles (whichever comes first). See dealer for details.
CORROSION PROTECTION
Chevrolet vehicles are designed and built to resist corrosion. All body and sheet metal components are warranted against rust-through corrosion for 6 years/100,000 miles (whichever comes first). Application of additional rust-inhibiting materials is not required under the corrosion coverage and none is recommended. See your Chevrolet dealer for terms of this limited warranty.
ASSEMBLY
Chevrolet vehicles and their components are assembled or produced by different operating units of General Motors, its subsidiaries, or suppliers to GM worldwide. We sometimes find it necessary to produce Chevrolet vehicles with different or differently sourced components than originally scheduled. Since some options may be unavailable when your vehicle is assembled, we suggest you verify that your vehicle includes the equipment you ordered and that, if there were changes, they are acceptable to you.
ENGINES
Chevrolet products are equipped with engines produced by GM Powertrain or other suppliers to GM worldwide. The engines in Chevrolet products may also be used in other GM makes and models.

The special body company, assembler, equipment installer, or upfitter is solely responsible for warranties on the body or equipment and any alterations (or any effect of the alterations) to any of the parts, components, systems, or assemblies installed by GM.

So, if the Cobalt gets a 5 yr/60,000 mile powertrain warranty , why doesn't the HHR? Seems to me like GM is short changing us.
Actually, when I was researching HHR's before I ordered mine, several sights listed the HHR as having the same powertrain warranty as the Cobalt. Wish it was so.

The dealer told me I could upgrade from the 3 years/36,000 miles to a 7 year / 100,000 mile warranty. It cost me more $ but I did it. I really want to lower it though and they said that would void the warranty 
so i guess it will have to wait

It will only void the warranty on the suspension / tires / etc if you lower it. All the other stuff will remain intact. Of course if your anything like me I kill the warranty almost immediately, I have a tendacy to mod my vehicles soon after I get them including the suspension and engine. But then again I do all my own work and maintenance and have never taken a vehicle back into a dealership for anything.
