NHTSA Complaint #10254692 — 2006 CHEVROLET HHR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 HHR AND IT HAS BEEN A VERY DEPENDABLE CAR UNTIL NOW. I HAVE PURCHASED MANY NEW CARS AND IN TWO YEARS AND LESS THAN 50,000 MILES I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY EXHAUST PROBLEMS. WHY HAVE THE METAL SPIRAL TUBING EXHAUST PIPE THAT COME FROM THE MANIFOLD TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM HAVE CRACKED. THE METAL SPIRAL TUBING APPEARS TO BE IN MINT CONDITION, BUT FOR SOME IRONIC REASON IT HAS A BREAK IN ONE OF THE SPIRALS CAUSING IT TO HAVE AN EXHAUST LEAK. I TOOK IT TO A MUFFLER SHOP AND THE GENTLEMEN EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HE HAS BEEN DOING EXHAUST SYSTEMS FOR YEARS AND HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT HAS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE METAL. I WOULD ATTACH PICTURES , BUT YOU DON'T HAVE AN ATTACHMENT OPTION AVAILABLE. CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THIS SITUATION. *TR
