well i got my HHR back yesterday from the dealer....They told me they replaced a gasket...told me they had the same problems in a few of the colbolts.....havent driven it much since i picked it up so i dont know hows its doing....but they didnt clean the carpet...its got brown spots on it guess ill have to do some scrubbing

 

I would expect NEW carpet. It's not your fault, remember that.

 

yeah...i made a mention about it but they said something about having anti mold carpet...i asked them to clean it but they didnt...i got to go back to the rear windshied wiper part that went out replaced so when i do i will bring it up then

 

Ours is going in while I'm on vacation next week so they can find and fix the leak. The service manager already said that after they fix it and we drive it through some rain to ensure it's really fixed, they will install new carpet. (I forgot to ask about a new floor mat though)

 

I gave mine to the dealer Monday for a leak that would put tons of water in the right front floorboard. They kept it for 2 days and said that a firewall gromet worked loose (or not been installed right). It would allow water into the floorboard any time we had a good rain storm. We get a lot of them in north Florida.

They kept claiming that it was an A/C problem. They told me the to check to water drain tube or bring it in and thay would look at it. I told them about a rain storm in Panama City. It was dry when I parked it and 1 inch deep after being rained on for a few hours. They finally aggreed that something was wrong.

They didn't clean the carpet before they gave it back to me. They didn't even get the water out of the carpet. I'm going in for service Saturday and I'm going to see about the brown spots on the front carpet.

 

Durok, look at the posts that I have put up here. I had the same thing happen and they had to replace my entire carpet in my HHR.

 

They replaced my carpet but wouldn't give me new floor mats. Good Luck!

 

well it poured like hell last night....water was in the floorboard again.....so im calling them monday

 

Well folks here is another leaky HHR. We had ours in a few weeks ago for a musty smell from the HVAC system. They removed the Hepa filters (?) sprayed them and the smell was gone. The other day we were in the HHR and noticed my umbrela on the floor on the passenger side was damp and didn't thin much of ituntil I removed the mat today and the floor was sopping wet. The dealer took it right in today and said they would look into it and dry out the carpets, in the mean time I have sent him the link to this forum for their guidance and will see what develops. I wonder if the musty smell was from the Cabin filter (Hepa?) being soaked... stay tuned.

 

Geez these HHR's seem to be like a giant seive! We have leaks from the rear, leaks from the evap box, leaks from the RS speaker, leaks from a grommet in the cowl, and leaks from the right window A pillar moulding area. Did I miss any? To do a real check for leaks, the cabin is pressurized with an inert smoke, and then searched for external smoke leaks.........someone a while ago mentioned that there were only about 10 leak complainers, I think there are more now....?
