1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2009 Chevrolet HHR

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

When the car had less than 36,000 miles all of the speakers blew out at the same time. The dealer replaced them under warranty now at 84,000 miles they have blown again. I do not play the radio loud, so that is not the the problem. I have talked to a car radio tech, and he says that Hhrs have a big problem with this. If this is that big of a problem shouldn't their be some type of warranty on this. Both times this happens I was just going down the road listing to the radio when the volume just dropped to almost nothing. .

2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2008 Chevrolet HHR

Failure Date: 07/04/2017

This issue involves a 2008 Chevrolet Hhr with the base radio system. The main door mounted radio speakers stopped functioning in 2017. The a-pillar high frequency "tweeter" speakers continue to work but are unintelligible. With the main radio speakers out, two safety features no longer work; the seat belt warning chime and the onstar subscription safety service. I believe both these systems rely on the driver's side door mounted speaker. Other safety chimes, if any, would also be affected. This is not an isolated case as I personally know of other Hhrs with the same issue.

5 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2006 Chevrolet HHR

Failure Date: 11/24/2007

This complaint is about a 2006 chevy Hhr I have had the since new and have had the radio replaced three times (including the one that came with the car) the last time gm tried to charge me for a new radio. I feel they know they have problems with it and we (the consumer) should not have to buy another one from gm on Dec 3, 2007 I was driving on expressway i69 in michigan with the radio off. As I was driving the radio suddenly made a loud pop (or what I call an explosion noise) the noise is so loud it can hurt your ears. The noise startled me so much I hit the brake and the car behind me almost rear-ended me. Since gm knows they have a problem with this, tells me there are plenty others out there with the same problem. I doubt gm will fix this problem which could result in an accident or death until the government makes them . Thank you.
