:mad: Does any of this sound familiar to anyone else? Tomorrow will be day 11, no Hummer. I called my service rep again late this afternoon. Still waiting on parts. I asked him what they think the nature of the problem is. He said the back wheel noise. Now a team of specialists have been called in and are looking and working on it .. they don't know what it is. He said they replaced the pads, but that wasn't the problem because when they test drove it, the sound was even worse. In his words, "It's a real mess." I asked him if the problem was the rotor .. he responded by saying that Hummer doesn't allow them to just replace the whole brake system without going step by step .. lubing, then pads, etc. He said it's in steps. In the meanwhile, I've been without it for 11 days SO FAR this time .. and just the week prior, I was without it for several days for the cylinder geads/valves problem. I know this description is vague from the dealer, but just wondering it it sounds familiar to anyone else. It all started with the binding/grinding sound in the rear right.

Call Hummer, do now. Sounds like a BS line to me. You will be surprised at how quickly things will get done.

Also stop in in person.I hope they resurfaced the rotors when they tried the new pads.
I hate it when they dont tell you whats going on.:mad: You have to pry the info out of them.
Good Luck

FInally got my H3 back today. It turns out that they had to resurface the rotors and replace the pads. They said they tried differnt types of pads .. each one made the sound worse. They had a Hummer specialist come out with some thick pads and those were/are the ones that worked. I test drove it and it sounds fine. Hope it stays that way. I find it interesting that I told them to check the pads and rotors on day one. They insisted that wasn't the problem. Two weeks later with a Hummer specialist team, they tell me .. "The rotors were resurfaced and pads replaced." AGHHHHHHH!!!!!! PLUS, someone there opened the driver door up against a wall or another vehicle and put two small white paint scrapes on the doors edge. AGHHH! Just saw it.

Im glad it worked out.
Same problem same amount of miles on rig..interesting.
I did notice they used disk brake quiet or treated pads(you can see blue on pads through rim )maybee thats what they forgot to do the first time or they tryed pads without cutting rotors.At least all is fine now:D :cool:


Try some clear coat rubbing compound on your door edge ,if paint was chipped I would call and see what they say.
