“While putting on new seat covers I noticed the bottom seat belt swivel attachment to the car rusted. Checked both front seats and they were both crusty rusted. This can't be good. I have pictures to verify my finding. Awaiting your reply. Thank you.”

“The srs light was red and stood lit for one month and then it went away, I have 3 children under 17 years of age and this problem just worries me and has me worried about the safety of my family while in this car. We had the ignition replace by the dealer about a year ago, because my wife could not turn off the car. No other problems reported by my wife. We love our HHR. Great family car. We might need to go bigger since our growing family. Hope this problem of srs gets fixed or does not become a future problem.”

“My seat belt continued to get stuck on the drivers side of my HHR. (what if I were to have had a wreck and couldn't get out?) took vehicle into a dealership monday 4/29/2013 evening around 5 to have them look at it to see if there was anything stuck etc. With the buckle itself. Service writer looked at it and managed to get it stuck and from then I could not get the buckle unbuckled so therefore I have had to drive around sitting on my seat belt. The service writer determined that it was the mechanism in the buckle itself causing the seat belt to get stuck. …”

“Airbag system service is illuminated on the dashboard however all the sensors were replaced several times as long as it says service airbags the system is not active nor working so a crash is guaranteed to kill you and the seatbelt retraction system is also affected it extends fine but in the event of a crash it will not lock even under hard braking this same problem exisists so if it wont lock you will feel the steering wheel on your face and chest I have made a chevy dealer aware of this but they said dont worry the system will work fine ignore the service airbag warning vehicle in motion…”
