New HHR owner, Chandler, AZ
Hello would be freinds. Recently I ditched my beat up 2003 Cavalier and got a 2006 HHR. It is pretty nice. I was happy and content after the first day. So having said that, is there any issues I should know about this vehical?
I will be adding a sound quality competition worthy stereo very soon. I am a Team Soundstream, Team Hitt List, MECA (Mobile Electronics Competition Association) competitor, IASCA (International Auto Sound Challenge Association.INC) Competitor, USACi (United States Autosound Competition International) Competitor. I love to compete and spectate these events very often.
I contribute to many other forums under this user name as well as "subzero".
I look forward to chatting and helping out where I can. feel free to message me any time.

Oh yeah you asked about possible common issues.
The rear brake adjusters do not work. You will want to physically adjust your rears every tire rotation.
The front sway bar links go out quickly and when they do most go with a non factory brand for the best results. Hopefully someone will post which brand but if you need them there are threads with the brand recommendations.
Since you have an automatic and the 2.4l I would see if there are any recalls tht you car has missed.
There are a few others and I think there is actually a couple threads about all of them.
