Since you've owned your HHR...

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.

Under warranty this time they fixed the panels, the chipped paint, turned the rotors, gave me a new 2nd remote. No news on the burning rubber smell... how could they not smell it!!!
