ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
AFTER 7500 MILES, HHR IS DEMONSTRATING STARTER/IGNITION PROBLEMS. AS OPPOSED TO NEW VEHICLE, IT NOW TAKES BETWEEN 3-7 SECONDS OR MORE, TO GET VEHICLE TO START. INITIALLY, VEHICLE STARTED IMMEDIATELY WITH KEY AND REMOTE STARTER. THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT CHRONIC. A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS MUCH CRANKING TO START. *NM

ALSO FOR SEEING OUT THE FRONT WINDOW IS DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF DUE TO THE WINDSHIELD BEING LOWER AND THE SEAT HIGHER THAN ON OTHER VEHICLES.
