Ok my husband has the above stated car and we've been having issues with the power lock and key fob for awhile now. Sometime you press the unlock button and nothing happens, and then when you try to put the key in the lock and unlock it manually it won't turn. The lock hasn't been messed with nothings been broken off in the lock either. It sometimes takes my husband 10-20 minutes to unlock his doors simply because none of the buttons on the key fob will respond and the door won't open by manually unlocking with a key either. It also has remote start BTW and that is an issue because if you remote start the car it locks itself after it starts and then you can't get it to unlock by remote or key after that either. What is going on? We have a 5 yr warranty with the dealership we bought it through, should i call them? As of right now my husband can't get in his car period, it won't unlock by the key fob and if he inserts the key in the door it won't even turn. Whats going on? Oh and we can't try another door because the drivers side door is the only one with a keyhole to unlock by hand.I have a locksmith on call that i've used before but if anyone has any less expensive advice for right now til we can get it to the dealership i'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Oh also i understand that the battery in the fob may be low but that still doesn't explain why we can't manually unlock the door with the actual key.
 
Please take your HHR to your local chevy dealership.There have been a number of issues with the door lock system.We also have two bulletins out on this problem.When you get your HHR back everything will work correctly.Best of luck.
