well it rained all day here Oct 17th - found passenger side flooded with water, enough that it was on top of the rubber floor mat that I installed. had it at the delaer next day. as per the service invoice (warranty) "resealed water deflector, "A" post seams, rightside hinges and seams. Geuss its a wait and see for the next rain storm.

 

well today after my 3rd trip to the dealer for the leak repair....they finally agreed to give me new carpet and padding...they didnt even try cleaning it they just said well order new padding and carpet and give you a call when it arrives.....so thats nice.....just hope that the leak dont come back again.....whats crap is that it leaked in the same dam spot...they told me the seal went bad again.....so next trip will hopefully just get new carpet and padding....

 

new carpet and padding installed the other day...leak seems to not be making a comeback since its rained all week its been leak free

 

Mine has been gone all summer long and then came back the other day.

 

I really like the HHR's, but right now I am trying to decide between the HHR and a Dodge Magnum. Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses. I like the HHR interior better. But if the water leak problems on the HHR's haven't been fixed in the 2007's I'll probably go with the Magnum. I'm just wondering if it's a minor issue..... not alot of members have the leak problem or not? Perhaps someone could start a poll.... those members that have had a water leak problem and those that haven't? Thanks.

 

from what i have seen on here and heard from the dealerships its a pretty small problem..theres now thousands of HHRs on the road and very few of them have this problem....i think its more of a probelm from the earlier built HHRs also.....havent heard of an 07s having the issue yet

 

I have a 2007. I haven't seen this pop up yet. Been through some serious torrential rain over th past month and a half so far so I'm sure it would have popped up by now.

 

Don't bet on it. I had a bad leak ONE time then it went away for 6 months and it just came back big time. I'm about to put a sump pump in the front passenger's side. I just lost my job today so guess I'll have lots of time to sit around the dealer waiting for the to get around to fixing it.

PS. Still a great car...I just wish it had been made here in the USA.
I don't think I'll buy another car or truck that's not made here....

 

well 3 1/2 weeks after new carpet was installed and the leak was "fixed my floorboard is TOTALY soaked again...standing water in the floorboard....i called my dealership and they said "well we have never been able to get it to leak here".........getting sick of this....this will be my 4th trip back to the dealer over this

 

I had this happen to my HHR. When I took it to the dealer they said it was a faulty sunroof. They replaced it and I haven't had any issues since.
