Some Chevrolet HHR owners report experiencing ignition issues where the engine does not start despite having battery power, which may be linked to faulty ignition switches that can cause stalling and lack of power to accessories. Additionally, there are concerns about door locks sticking or malfunctioning, with reports of doors failing to unlock using automatic features. If the engine continues to fail to start after checking the battery and replacing components like the starter and ignition switch, further investigation into the ignition system, including the alternator and crankshaft sensor, may be necessary. For persistent issues, many owners recommend seeking help from a certified technician or mechanic familiar with Chevrolet vehicles to effectively diagnose and resolve these problems.
