Question: Why does the steering wheel lock when trying to turn ignition key in 2008 HHR?
Inserted ignition key and tried to start the HHR; key would not turn, wheel would move only 1/4 inch either way. Made sure car was in PARK,(unable to move shifter to NEUTRAL), tried turning wheel while turning ignition key, no luck starting vehicle.I have been using the same key each and every time I drive the car. The only observation I have made the last 6 times, is that when I get out of the vehicle and touch the driver side door, I get a jolt of static electricity. Tow truck on the way to take it to dealer, who, by the way, could not tell me what caused the problem. Car still under warranty, but I do not want to be groomed for the 'Blue Plate Special', and have the dealer tell me it was 'operator' error. I have only been driving cars for 40 years, auto and manual. Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks for taking the time to read about my problem.

Answer: Most of these type of problems start at the dealers when they have poorly trained pre delivery people doing there PDI inspections.The factory for some years now have had major problems at the dealer level not having trained people that have the knowledge and skill to find and fix these type of problems before you the customer buy the car or truck from innovatory.The fact is the factory pays big bucks to have trained pros do there new car inspections.The dealers keep this money and hires people that know little or nothing about what there doing.As long as the dealers keep doing this it will cause owners greef with there new cars.Best of luck with your HHR.

Question: Does enyone know if the HHR 2008 has power, how is the power , afaird of it because it is a 4 cyclander.?

Answer: I use a lot of HHR's as rentals on Los Angeles freeways, and I think the motor has decent power and pickup for a 4 cylinder. I don't notice much difference between the base motor in the LS and the upgraded engine in the LT because most of the power increase is in higher RPM's the automatic transmission rarely uses. I like the HHR enough to consider it a good choice among 4 cylinder cars, and its interior is useful for carrying luggage and other items with decent seats and a decent stereo.

If you have the budget and want to spend more money, the new HHR SS has a turbo four in it that's very quick, but I think the base Ecotec 4 cylinder is a good choice and gets good mileage. The HHR is a far better car than the now-discontinued Chrysler PT Cruiser, which was based on the old Neon chassis, and was not made by GM.

Question: 2008 Chevy HHR SS?
Does anybody know what the approximate price would be on these? I know they are not out yet but I would think at least some people know.
