When mine went in for the headliner recall, I had noticed this also on mine. They told me it was overfilled and was forced out from heat expansion. They drained a little out and cleaned it up. I had never added any, so if that was indeed the case, it was done at the factory. Time will tell if it happens again.

My husband and I experienced this last Friday and we didn't know what it was. Thanks for the heads up I'll have to get it looked at. Did yours continue or did it stop cause with us it stopped after awhile.

Well the HHR is at the dealership. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced these problems.
1. A clunking noise from the front end when going in reverse and turning.
2. It looks like Brake Fluid has been spilling out of the resivoir (and the cap is on).
3. When opening the rear lift gate it sounds like it's rubbing against the body some where (just not sure where).
4. Top of the interior seems to rattle when driving in the back on the passenger side.
5. The wife and I were driving on Wednesday when all of a sudden it sounded like a baseball card was stuck in bicycle spokes. First I thought maybe a flat but the steering wheel wasn't shaking. Turns out this is going to be a "overhaul" or new transmission.
6. And of course the recall because it's not equipped with the roof rail airbags.
Overall, we've been happy with it and I was very surprised to see that a two year old vehicle with under 20,000 miles needs transmission work. We're the only owner and definitely don't abuse the HHR. I'm just happy it's still covered under the factory warranty.

hey... is the noise you hear when opening the rear hatch the latching gear falling into place.... being new to hhr... another tidbit you might like to hear about... the rear hatch won t open when the battery is dead. the manual release is a pain in the b tt to get to.... so don t put your road kit/tools in the spare tire storage
