Key won't turn all the way off
Well looks like I'll be taking a trip to the dealer in the morning. Today after work I stopped for gas and could not turn the key all the way off. I could shut the engine off, but it wouldn't turn all the way so you could remove them. I think there have been others with this problem, but I thought they could turn the key all the way, it just wouldn't come out, or had to be reprogramed? I suspect it has somthing to do with transmision linkage, but I could be wrong. I tried shifting from low back to park several times with no luck. After fueling, the car started so I drove it home. I put it in park firmly (not to hard) and this time it turned all the way back so I was able to remove the keys.

The brake/shifter interlock fails. Solution is to replace the shifter.

Mine does the same thing about a fourth of the time. Sometimes I can hear a loud clicking in the gearshift when I touch the brake. When that happens, the transmission shifts really hard, and putting her in low gear, she does not stay in low gear but shifts like in drive. I think the time has come to make an appointment.

Is this problem only with standard transmissons? I have only ever talked to one person who owns an HHR and they were having the same problem too. Said it had been in the shop 3 times and it had started the same thing again. I am very new to the HHR, bought it Jan.1, 2207...had only 3 miles on it the first test drive. my guy drives the heck out of it we now have 1200 mi. on it....and have not gone anywhere . I on the other hand drive very little, about 600mi for all of last year.
