What probs have you had in the H3?

[Wisha Haddan H3]

Curious about the problems people have had with their H3 (not counting accidents). I compiled this list from various posts since I joined. You can check more than one in this poll.

power steering pump replaced

[fourfourto]

Brake groan:
The dealer tried to fix it 3 or 4 times:twak: ,I added brake lube to rear pads and its been quiet :shhh: I thought I heard it once since then but the noise is in my head im not sure .When the time comes I will replace with aftermarket rotors and pads.

Otherwise very happyhttp://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gifhttp://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

another one that is common is the encoder motor, im not sure if its related to ABS or the transfer case. many times when peopel get the messages reduced power, service 4wheel, traction failed, or something of that nature it is the encoder motor. i put this one down as a transfer case problem, even though it may not be, not really sure.:)

also had the break groan under heavy braking, but it seemed to go away by itself.

had body mounts issue, fixed.

and some other little things.

overall im still very happy.

Only had to get a new battery the next day after delivery, hope the 07 does as well.

Good call on the power steering pump and encoder motor. The poll only allows 10 items tho :crying:

You forgot Cracked Roof Rails or did you assume everybody had them changed(my left side twice)


Otherwise very happy :D http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif

Ive had my front roof rails fixed 2 twice since February alone, same side. :giggling: Considering I have an 06 and that it is a first year production car (1st year bugs), I am very pleased, and would not have otten anything else. :perfect10s:

[H3slate]

When I first drove my 3 off the lot I had a problem with the power door locks and power windows. None of them would work!! The problem was a stuck door sensor. No problems since then, knock on wood! :twak:

I also had the roof rail crack problem by the front windshield.

[deserth3]

Head replaced. Both front and rear diffs started leaking.

[CrisB]

Mine's an early-build '06, been in so many times I lost count...Head replacement, rear locker replacement, fronk crank seal, sensor on t-case, rear door light switch, loose door innards, bad rivet nuts installed in roof light bar, a-pillar plastic replaced, horn replaced, chafed sensor wire to rear wheel, engine belt tensioner bearings gone bad, drivers mirror replaced...lots of little stuff.

All in all? After 50k miles I'm still happy as a pig in shi!t driving my Hummer.:grouphug:

[RuggedH2]

I've destroyed two front drive shafts and a half shaft. Body mounts are groaning but I don't blame them.

Considering some of what this rig has endured, it's holding up very well.

I will buy another one after this.

Edit: Nothing that has broken so far has left me stranded anywhere (knock on wood). The truck has always been able to limp back for repair.

[3Hummer]

so far.... when i first recieved mine it was leaning to the left had to get that set back to normal. Just had it in yesterday the front left camber was not according to specifications and was making my car pull to the right so that had to get fixed. Other than that nothing "knock on wood"

[Sewie]

How can I select "front diff" twice? ;)

You left rear axle/diff off the list. That was a big issue with the early builds.

[justforfun]

Front diff mount broke (have a feeling I know why ;) )... so front diff went bye bye, and as a result also damage a couple of pinion gear in the T-Case... 3 weeks in the shop as no parts in the Middle East and none in stock with the General...

Have it back now, all okay apart from a slight pull to the left... going back in this wee to get sorted!

Cheers
