I have only had my 07 HHR for a month now i jus cleared 1000 miles, couple thing i have noticed, my front brakes are sticking like kinda grabbing when its wet out, the rear hatch makes a popping noise when i open it, and last but not least it makes a popping noise when i turn the wheel like if im making a turn it only does it when i first start driving then it goes away after a driving for about 5 mins, first time i took it to the dealer they said to let the suspension break in and bring it back after a 1000 miles if its still doing it. so before i take it i wanted to see if you all had some advice for me. i appreciate it!!!
i have an 06 hhr lt1 2.2 and just cleared 10500 mine for the past month as been making the popping noise early in the morning also tho i havent taken it in yet. mine only does it on the coldest mornings

The brakes on my HHR make a popping noise too when I come to a stop and sit a few seconds and when I release the brakes they make the noise, kinda like the pads are sticking to the rotor. I notice it too only in wet weather. My previous 2 cars, both Malibus, made the exact same noise, so I just got used to it on my HHR.
I think it's just a common trait of GM brakes. I've been hearing that sound since late 2000, so I've gotten used to it.
My tailgate has always made the popping sound when opening it, so it's another one of those normal noises to me.
