Non of what you've listed above, apply.. I'm upset about how long this process has taken.. I understand that this has been held back since 2007 and GM was aware of their own wrong doing! but I called to set up an appointment locally and they tell me that the parts are still on order.. I cant afford a rental! now people including myself are operating on fear.. my airbag light blinks off and on from time to time. The key at times want turn in the ignition!! I like this car, but no longer., why doesn't GM offer loaner cars to us all until they fix the issue that they caused... scared of dyeing in raleigh, nc.

About 2 weeks after giving my son my HHR in October of 2013, he was rear ended with the other driver going over 35 mph and the air bags did not deploy. I am curious to know why?

I am the one owner of this car. Since day one nothing but problems. Air bag lights on dash illuminated, driver and passenger, warning have remained on no matter if your buckled in or not. It is supposed to signal if not buckled in, I have only heard it do this twice in the past seven years. I wear my seatbelt 99.99% of the time but have to tell my husband to put his on, I wish it would beep or do what is supposed to so I wouldn't have to beep. We took to dealer at about 1000 miles and was told " not to worry about it " when seatbelts are engaged the airbag warning signals on dash and center console still will be flashing. Airbag warnings never turn off ! I feel GM should include this in the airbag recall, same parts- we all know.

The service airbag light is on all the time as of approximately 30,000 miles, the vehicle has never been in a crash. I have done some research online and it appears I am not the only one with this problem.
I was recently in a front end collission with a Chevy HHR lt 2007 where my air bags deployed. Due to the airbags being deployed my seatbelts locked to prevent me from hitting the steering wheel and window. However my passanger seatbelt ( no one was in the passanger seat)locked and due to the pressure of the lock/combustion chamber the plastic cover of the seat belt became projectile in the car and hitting my right arm causing abrasions and burn marks. I now have a perminate scar due to the force of impact from the seatbelt cover.
