Well, I agree to an extent. The amount of problems I have had is rediculous. My 03 accord was a 1st model year and had a few problems, but significantly less than this car. After the warranty expired, I had 2 trouble free years before we traded it in on our Ford.

But, now I have cooled off a bit since it was fixed so quickly, and I still really enjoy the HHR. I really can't find anything else that has the combination of great styling, decent fuel economy, and utility.

Did they tell you to reduce the number of keys on your key ring? That has always been the recommendation when the cylinder fails. Unfortunately, it has failed in many different model cars.

Glad you got it resolved!

Actually, I had alread reduced the amount of weight on my keychain once the first lock cylinder had problems. The heaviest thing on my whole set of keys originally was the keychain that the dealer gave us. It has a huge+heavy metal decorative piece with their name on it. I removed that keychain when the first cylinder started going out to reduce the weight. What I have on my keychain now is my car keys+fob, keys to our other car+keyfob, house key, and key to our shed. I have my mess of work keys on another keychain and always have.
