TDUNNE, sorry to hear you are having problems. Be persistant in getting the problem corrected and to the site!

 

Unfortunately it sounds like this dealer is not very competent. I would try another dealer and insist that all new carpeting and padding be installed. If they don't want to cooperate, that's why they have lemon laws. Sorry you have had this problem. I've pressure washed mine with not a drop of water entering the vehicle.

 

Had a similar problem with mine the dealer ended up replacing a seal behind the compartment air filter on the firewall side. They said it had rolled up . After that there has been no problem, Hope this may help but seems your dealer does not or will not check for leaks like they should. Maybe you should go to another dealer? Keep us posted either way.. Good Luck..

 

That's exactly what I worry about. We've had our HHR for just over 18 Months and so far so good! But it really doesn't rain that much around here and I don't know what might happen if it's out in the open during one of our rare "gully washers" Last time we had one was in July last year, but the HHR was in the carport. Water level came to just about an inch from the bottom of the car though!

 

If your car leaks and you're waiting to get it fixed, in the meantime park where the front end is on the down slope if possible, i've noticed it works.

 

I need suggestions on what to do about my HHR. Mine has been in for repair of the passenger floorboard leak 7 times. Every time they just knew it was finally fixed for good, and of course it wasn't. I will run out of my warranty tomorrow, 36000 miles. I called GM last week, while it was at the dealership to file a complaint with them. They asked what I wanted to see happen, I said a new car or at least an extended warranty. Today I heard from the assistant manager of the service department at my dealership, and he offered a plan for free oil changes, lubes, and tire rotation for 4 years or 60,000 miles. Now I know this does add up to a considerable amount, but I don't feel that it has anything to do with the problem or is really enough. He insists that they will continue to fix the leak if it returns even after my warranty ends since it has been documented multiple times.
What should I do? Should I check with a lemon law attorney? How many people have received new cars for this problem? Please I need info and suggestions ASAP, before he calls back and wants an answer!!

 

When i wash my car or when it rains and i put my passenger side window down afterward, i have noticed that the inside of the window is wet any suggestions before it goes to the dealer?

 

You are past the lemon law status. I believe it is for 30 days in most states. I would be persistant with Chevy and GM...let them know that it is not OK that the problem isn't being fixed. Perhaps you can take it to an authorized mechanic? Look into that or even tell them you want to take it somewhere else....get another opinion on what the problem might be.
That is my advice anyway.

 

I think you may have been slightly misinformed by Angel....

Quite a few members of this forum and another have pursued the Lemon Law issue with their HHR. If my memory serves me correctly 1 or 2 of them had their cars in for service for a total of 30 days....some over a period of 4-5 months...some longer.

Check the laws of Texas. Be persistent, GM does not yield easily. Also, go through your local BBB, who MAY have some clout.

Yep I was...I went off of what I was once told....totally wrong.
From what I saw....Texas' lemon law applies through the full manufacturer warranty. And it covers anything that depreciates the value of the car.
Of course I probably read wrong...LOL.
I got information from BBB....but like I said...could be totally wrong again....

I will just shut the hell up...LOL.
