Was snowing got car high centered in driveway could not get ignition to turn off tried off and on for a hour finally frustrated went in home the next morning of course my battery was dead. This happened within the first two weeks of buying the car. Then dealership came out got vehicle started took to shop. I got the car back a week later. Then was driving car and on the weekend on my way to work message on dash says reduced engine power and would not let me go more than 30 mph. The roads were completely dry so road conditions were not the issue. I again called the guy who sold me the car he switch me over to the mechanic who said bring the car in next time it does that otherwise they wont be able to tell what went wrong. Then the next week my front tire was wobbling like it was going to come off and it was not the lug bolts because I checked them so back to the shop again. They said some bolt was loose under the hood to the front end and I should be fine. Then I believe it was a week or two later the ignition locked up on me again and they blamed that on me. I have had the car for a year and owe more than it is worth so cannot trade it in because I owe three times more than it is worth. A month ago again the message came on the dash reduce engine power on my way to work live 11 miles out of town so drove on the shoulder of the road with my flashers on to let other cars by. Among that I had the windshield leek water in my floor on passenger side every time it rained. The dealership had put in a new windshield and did'nt get part under the hood back on correctly. I could go on and on but bottom line after buying the car it was in the shop three times before I even got plates for it. I have been really frustrated with the car but not much that I know to do since owe too much on it.

This vehicle was being towed behind a motorhome. When we arrived at our destination the battery was dead. The battery is located in the rear hatch section. We were able to manually unlock the driver door with a key. There is no key lock on the outside to the hatch section to access the battery to charge it. I climbed inside the car and got into the back hatch area to locate a manual lock (there was none ),. I was trapped, and then had to get back to the front to get out the driver's door. If there was an accident and that was the only way to get out of the vehicle, I would be trapped inside. I have tried to contact chevy about this problem, but have not heard anything to date.

2006 Chevrolet Hhr: cannot remove key from ignition in park. Has happened at least 5 times in last week. Finally yesterday I had to leave key in ignition at work. Came back later to remove - battery was dead. Jumping battery stump under hood was of no use - could not open rear hatch to get to battery. Had it towed for repair. Analysis, battery and labor cost me $200 as the gm protection plan I pay for every month would not cover the problem. Also asked service rep to look into why shifter moves while driving, thinking this might have something to do with ignition and battery problems. He could not find anything wrong. This seems like it could be a potential problem while driving. Gm protection plan rep and tow truck driver both said this happens a lot on this type of vehicle.
