2006 HHR rear wiper blade
[
] today i took my 2006 HHR LT into the dealer for a recall on the impact area above the passenger door, took an hour and a half to install this recall. While I was waiting to get the HHR back I asked the dealer to install a new wiper blade(gm part I got off e-bay) the dealer charged me $11.00 to install the rear blade! I wonder why gm is going broke? they seem to over charge for just about anything they can get by with.

RE: 2006 HHR rear wiper blade
the recall is a TSB bulletin to fix the paint chipping area on the rear fenders for those HHR's that do not have running boards installed

RE: 2006 HHR rear wiper blade
sorry about the last post I didn't get enough sleep the nite before: the recall on the head liner above the passenger door is fixed at the dealer, it takes about an hour at the dealer, they put in more padding material above the door looks the same on the inside of the car, just smells of glue for about 4 hours after.[8D]

No you don't need a letter although I got one from the dealer, you can ask the dealer to look up your vin# and see if you are affected by the recall.

Dear General Motors Customer:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
General Motors has decided that all 2006-2007 model year and certain 2008 model year Chevrolet HHR vehicles without roof-rail airbags, fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall. We apologize for this inconvenience. However, we are concerned about your safety and continued satisfaction with our products.
Important:
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
In tests at an impact point near the attachment of the sun visor to the roof, the Standard's requirement was exceeded. If a front seat occupant's head contacts that point in a crash, the occupant's injury could be increased.
What will we do?
Your GM dealer will install an additional energy absorbing device between the front headliner and the vehicle roof on the driver and passenger side. This service will be performed for you at no charge . Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that your dealer will need your vehicle longer than the actual service time of approximately 30 minutes.
If your vehicle is within the New Vehicle Limited Warranty your dealer may provide you with shuttle service or some other form of courtesy transportation while your vehicle is at the dealership for this repair. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual and your dealer for details on courtesy transportation.
What should you do?
You should contact your GM dealer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible. Bring the enclosed customer reply form with you when you visit your dealer. The form identifies the repairs required. If you no longer own this vehicle, please let us know by completing the form and mailing it back to us.
Do you have questions?
If you have questions or concerns that your dealer is unable to resolve, please contact the appropriate Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below. More information about this recall can be found at the Owner Center at MyGMLink, http://www.gm.com/recall
