Re: Recall Notice Sept 2008, Storage bin latch [poncho167]

Written by: chris80233 on Sep 18, 2008 10:18 PM

I've been looking at getting a new car and I've narrowed it down to either the HHR or the Malibu.

I'm sorry I have to disagree, I have a 2008 HHR and think it is a wonderful car. No, this isn't my first HHR, I bought a 2007 last summer.

She said she didn't hear a thing and fought me over taking it in...the statement was "you always say there is something wrong with my car".. So we dropped it off at Gordon Chevrolet here in Jacksonville, ... Read More...
