FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL LINES ARE LEAKING NEAR THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. UPON INSPECTION BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH LINES ARE LEAKING. FROM EXPERIENCE AFTER CHANGING NUMEROUS THIS IS A FLAW WITH BOTH GM'S DESIGN AS WELL AS PARTS CHOICE. THE LINES ARE RUN CLOSE TO EXHAUST SYSTEMS. TO PREVENT POTENTIAL PROBLEMS GM WRAPPER THE LINES IN HEAT INSULATION FABRIC. THIS FABRIC IS HOLDING MOISTURE WHEN IT GETS DAMP PROMOTING ACCELERATED RUST ISSUES. GAS LINE MATERIAL ITSELF APPEARS TO BE MILD STEEL AND NOT STAINLESS. SO THE DESIGN WAS BAD WHEN FUEL LINES WERE RUN IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO EXHAUST SYSTEMS AND SUB-PAR MATERIALS WERE USED. THOUSANDS OF EXAMPLES OF THIS PROBLEM ARE AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET, GOOGLING "HHR FUEL LINE LEAK PROBLEM REAR TIRE" RETURNS 549,000 RESULTS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL LINE WAS RUSTED THROUGH DUE TO YEARS OF THE WRAPPING AROUND THE FUEL LINE GETTING WET AND NOT BEING WATERPROOF MATERIAL. IT'S COSTING 900 TO HAVE FIXED. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF ALL THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE UNDER 100,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND GET ROUTINE MAINTENANCE DONE ON TIME. I KNOW CARS DON'T LAST FOREVER BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE WITH HHR MODELS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR BEGAN HAVING DIFFICULTY STARTING AND WOULD REQUIRE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. UPON PARKING THE CAR AND GETTING OUT, I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS THAT FADED VERY QUICKLY. THE FOLLOWING DAY THE TROUBLE STARTING CONTINUED AND THE GAS SMELL JUST GOT STRONGER AND STRONGER EVEN WHILE DRIVING. I PARKED THE CAR AND RETURNED AN HOUR LATER TO DISCOVER A WIDE PUDDLE OF FUEL DRIPPING FROM JUST IN FRONT OF THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO A LOT OF HHR CUSTOMERS REGARDLESS OF LOCATION OR EXPOSURE TO ICE MELT CHEMICALS.
