What is your question?
My HHR has failed the DEQ test three times and now my tags are expired! The drive cycle instructions are ridiculous. I’ve been trying for two weeks to comply but it always fails.
How long has your 2006 Chevrolet HHR had this problem?
Weeks

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your HHR. Failing an emissions test can be frustrating, especially after multiple attempts. Common issues include problems with the oxygen sensors, catalytic converter, or even the EVAP system. If you're struggling with the drive cycle, following the manufacturer's guidelines closely is important, as they can be precise. If you've done repairs but still haven't passed, it might help to have a professional run a diagnostic check. This can pinpoint any remaining issues before you try the emissions test again. If your tags are expired, check your local regulations. Sometimes, you can get an extension or a temporary permit while you address the issue. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered.
