Chevrolet HHR Lemon Odds and Nada Odds

Chevrolet HHR Lemon Odds and Nada Odds: - photograph by Mark T.

Other sources of Chevrolet HHR reliability information provide only averages, which can conceal as much as they reveal. So we also report the percentage of Chevrolet HHRs with no repairs at all in the past year and the percentage of Chevrolet HHRs that are lemons (required three or more repair trips in the past year). These figures might surprise you.

These stats are promptly updated four times a year, to closely track Chevrolet HHR lemon odds as the cars age. Others can be over a year behind. Only TrueDelta tells you how reliable the Chevrolet HHR has been recently.

Chevrolet HHR Lemon Odds and Nada Odds through December 31, 2012

General NotesNote the sample sizes in the right column. For a precise Nada Odds, it'd be best to have 50+ cars. For Lemon Odds, 100+. In most cases the sample sizes are between 25 and 35, and differences of less than six points are probably not meaningful. This is especially a factor with the "Lemon Odds," where nearly all scores are low.

That said, the Lemon Odds figures are probably much lower than many people suspected, so we've posted them. Similarly, the Nada Odds are probably higher than many people suspected. Even with the least reliable cars in this results set your odds of no repairs would be better than one in three. Surprised? MethodologyThe samples include cars for which we have at least nine months of data in the past year. The "Nada-odds" are adjusted based on the average number of months of data per car. These stats are very close to what they'd be if we included only cars with a full year of data.

Only successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Recalls and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

What Our Members Are Saying about Brand Reputation and the Chevrolet HHR

Brand Reputation of the Chevrolet HHR: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 100 years of service to the American worker and their families.
2008 4dr Wagon turbocharged 260hp 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Critics may bash American brains when it comes to engineering, but owners have a different story to tell. I have had my issue with Asian vehicles and had lasting luck with domestics, so I use my own experiences to guide my mechanical judgement.
2008 4dr Wagon 172-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Chevrolet is underrated.
2007 4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Example of GM and Chevrolet making a good product.
2007 4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Love Chevrolet vehicles.
2006 4dr Wagon 143-horsepower 2.2L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I have owned 5 Chevrolets, and every one has been very reliable.
Brand Reputation of the Chevrolet HHR: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Wagon 172-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 Chevy and GM are getting lots of bad press - some deserved, some not.
2007 4dr Wagon 149-horsepower 2.2L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 GM has had some bad press lately-but quality at GM has improved substantially over the past 5 years or so- and with a 5 year 60,000 power train warranty (I am at 29000 miles), I feel covered.
