Chevy HHR Door Repair Kits - From RockAutoParts, the instructions for an installation replacement interior door latch. This one is for driverside front door
Door handle broke from inside. THIS IS VERY HAZARD. We have to roll window down in order to get out of car and open the door. God forbid we get into an accident, and not be able to get out. They should have recall for this. Door handles should not break like this.
This is the second time I have had to replace the driver's door interior in 2 years! it is a cheap plastic piece that breaks but he whole door interior must be replaced at a cost of $350.00! Also, I have an issue with the key fobs - I also had them replaced 2 years ago, and again the lock button doesn't work so the alarm is unable to be set and I am unable to use the auto start! One of the key fobs has never been used!!!
I am an independent contractor for deliveries and in January this year the door handle pulled off when I was opening the door to exit the car. I figured it was an easy fix so I went on line to GM, put in the information about the car and got the response: I had to buy an entire door panel..handle is not separate. Went to dealer and asked how much to fix...$400 plus labor to install the new door panel..FORGET THAT MALARKEY!!!! I couldn't exit the car in an emergency from the drivers side if the car stalled or battery died!!!!!
The driver side interior handle broke off in my hand. I am now reading that this is a common problem that should be covering under warranty, but it is not. It should be a recall. The handles are cheap plastic. I am furious. This is not the first problem I have had with this car. I have had the knock sensor replaced twice & it has gone bad again. The repair work does not last for over 6 months.
I checked to see what it would cost. The dealer told me over $300.00 thats Ridiculous, I just put a long wire on it and pull it when I need the door opened.
