Since you've owned your HHR...

Wow, I must be really lucky. My '06 with 31,000 miles has had few problems. I had the shifter mechanism replaced under warranty and the two recalls for the headliner and the storage compartment. Otherwise, it's been just regular maintenance.

Nearly 22,000 miles. The last oil change per DIC was nearly 10,000 miles. I use synthetic.... should I trust this thing?? The oil looked good and it didn't lose a drop. I trust GM, but at 10,000 miles I still had 7% remaining life according to DIC.
The car is at the dealer right now for:
1. 22,500 mile service.
2. Burning rubber smell after a drive.
3. Vibration in steering (I played dumb, I know this is rotor problems).
4. 2nd remote being replaced (1st one has already been replaced).
5. Tire rotation.
6. Paint chips on hood (caused by wiper on driver's side when pulled out. Chipped the leading edge of the hood. Paint chipped on leading edge of driver's door (door scraped on its own mechanism inside the hood/fender).
I've had a rental since Tuesday last week and have no idea when I'll get my HHR back. I miss it.

Can you tell me the symptoms of the "intermediate steering column" problem? Was it slack or loose?

I really like the service at that dealer, they are definitely more helpful than the other 4 or 5 I have been to.

I got the rubber bumpers under warranty. At first they wouldnt, saying because they werent installed on mine from the factory that it wasnt a dealer issue. However when I got the HHR back they were installed, on the invoice it said "bumpers separated from hatch - warranty"
