NHTSA Complaint #10226694 — 2006 CHEVROLET HHR

IN APRIL 2007 MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS A BAD SENSOR AND CHANGED IT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIME OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS EVERY TIME THE SENSOR WAS CHANGED. PROBLEM PERSISTED AGAIN IN JAN 08 CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALER AGAIN 5TH TIME FOR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THIS TIME I WAS ADVISED WHEN DOING THE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK THEY GOT A CODE FOR A MISS. THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THIS CODE TO COME UP. THE DEALER CONTACTED CHEVY'S TECHNICAL HELP DEPT AND DID A THOROUGH DIAGNOSTIC CHECK TO FIND OUT THAT THE MISS WAS CAUSED BY ONE OF THE HEADS GOING BAD...... THE CAR HAD ROUGHLY 15,000 MILES ON IT AND THE MOTOR HAD TO BE PULLED AND REPAIRED. MY CAR RAN GREAT FOR A WHILE AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED. NOW 3 MONTHS LATER AND 19,300 MILES ON THE CAR IT STARTED SPUTTERING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AGAIN! I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH ANY OF THE 4 OTHER CHEVY'S I HAVE HAD. I FEEL THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND A DANGER TO DRIVE. *TR
