2008 Chevrolet HHR Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Chevrolet? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Chevrolet HHR? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your HHR’s towing capacity.

  • When should I have my HHR's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2008 HHR’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Chevrolet, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Chevrolet HHR transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Chevrolet HHR, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
