Have about 95K on my 2007 HHR and it has been one of the best cars I have owned...only issues have been the bearings on the front going out within 5k miles of each other, both covered under GM's 100k warranty and the wiper "tranny" croaked at around 90k...not covered but a 240 bucks doable for the amount of miles I have on the car.
I want to say at about 75K miles or so the engine developed this rattle or loud noise that lasts about 2 seconds after you start the car and then it stops.
Haven't thought much of it until I was looking around the forums and I saw some threads on timing chain rattle and bad timing chains on Ecotecs....
Anyone with an Ecotec have a similar issue? Sounds like a combination rattle/buzz/brrrr noise for about 2 seconds. Warranty is up in 5K so would like to get it fixed before then if it is indeed an issue.
I guess it could be a number of things but the timing chain is sort of stuck in my head now
