No, actually I'm an H3 owner who has had many more problems with the rig than the ones you're complaining about. Yet I don't introduce myself to a forum by ranting and whining like a little bitch.

Move along troll.:fdance:

Re: I Hate General Motors. (I'm a big whiner!!!)

Get the head replaced and demand an extended drive train warranty... like the rest of us who have had the head problem.

I was spooked by buying the first year of any model esp GM. When my head went I was pissed as hell.

I would definitely by another H3 or H3T, H4 other GM product again especilaly if they offer a 5-speed stick in the H3 Alpha! GM can you hear me now!

I have had good luck with several Jeep and with the H3. It may be to late to chant Buy American but I believe it now!

I think GM's quallity is near or equal to Toyota now. Did you see how the new Cadilac won over MB and Lexus. Do you see the design and quality on the new Corvette and Hummers? It is night and day from previous GM stuff in teh 70's and 80's

Re: I Hate General Motors.

hey lets not all break his balls here too much. i agree with him to a point that these cars may have more problems then normal but then again i bought a first model year car and fully expected all this.

ill list the issues i have had with my 06 h3 which i still really like despite my many problems

ok so jack and washer replaced
rear brake light failure in the rear windshield
head replaced around 20k
transfer case replaced around 10k
front right bushing replaced on front diff? was never installed in the first place?
front left body mount was crushed causing knocking noises. still have em
rear diff didnt have enough fluid
battery failed and was replaced.
and several more services i cant remember thank goodness for that warranty because this car has been in the shop more than any other i have had. but they have always taken care of me so i still like hummer as a brand and could buy another if they made something awesome.

tried that, they wouldnt give it to me, however when the battery went out they gave me one year of free oil changes and tire rotations :P

Re: I Hate General Motors. (I'm a big whiner!!!)

The Mercedes you mention had a potential rollover problem which is a safety issue, recall issued. Far as i know a bad cylinder head is not safety related which is why no recall will be issued. Recalls are almost always only ever issued if a saftey issue is the concern. Very rarely will one be issued otherwise.

Re: I Hate General Motors. (I'm a big whiner!!!)

I bought a first year model VW Touareg and my list of problems was three times as long as yours.

Seriously.

Re: I Hate General Motors. (I'm a big whiner!!!)

I've got an o6 and have had all of the same problems as you listed in the first post with the exception of the transfere case fluid. If you don't look it's not there! I'm going to change the fluids soon though so I'll check.

Re: I Hate General Motors. (I'm a big whiner!!!)

That sucks....but all car makers have crap sometimes....you mentioned mercedes....they have a terrible below average rating when it comes to electrical problems...so no one is perfect.

Perhaps you shouldn't take it to the dealer anymore!

12. ???????
11. Head no good (not fixed yet)
10. 4-wheel drive high lock button stuck in
9. Amplifier replaced because of static noise
8. Radio replaced (2nd time) because of static noise
7. Plastic pillar trim cracked
6. Jack replaced recall
5. Battery died around 12,000 miles
4. Radio software reinstalled because they didn't do it right when replacing the radio
3. Radio replaced (1st time) because CD's stuck inside
2. Windshield washer pump replaced recall
1. Transfer Case not filled with additional fluid before delivery. Only found out about it myself on this website. Did the fill myself only to discover that it took almost a quart just to get it up to the plug level. Then added the extra fluid.

For the life of me I couldn't understand why the low tire pressure sensors couldn't tell me which tire was low. When I asked at the dealer why I needed to reprogram them when I rotated the tires he said, because the computer knows and if we need to replace a bad sensor it will tell us which one. Isn't this nice? They store the info but can't tell the end user the information. It will be a cold day in hell before I reprogram ANY low tire pressure sensor on this vehicle.

Also inquired as to why my $800 Monsoon stereo system constantly tells me "No info available" regarding radio station name and song. They told me I don't have the upgraded radio. Is this a joke? They actually program the radio to tell me it can't do something. My 2002 S-10 pickup radio tells me all the time but an $800 radio can't? This is the type of crap that will forever keep GM from going anywhere but down.

The dealer knows me on a first name basis. When they told me the head needed to be replaced I went off on them about GM quality. I told them that GM knows about this and they are doing nothing. I asked what if someone comes in at 55,000 miles needing a new head? Guess what I got for an answer? Dealers answer: "I hope he has an extended warranty". Unbelievable. In a way I am relieved to get the problem under warranty but I feel sorry for everyone who ends up having the problem down the road after the warranty expires. GM couldn't care less about it's customers. Seems that with Toyota ready to overtake them, they ought to take care of the loyal ones they have; before they have none at all.

I remember when Mercedes came out with their small SUV and it was reported that they had a potential to tip over. Mercedes recalled every single one of them, FIXED THE PROBLEM, and we never heard about the problem again. GM has this head problem and where is Robert Lutz? Off somewhere touting that GM quality is vastly improved and right up there with everything else. This guy must be smoking some really powerful stuff. GM has handled this matter pathetically. They still don't get it and their INACTION speaks louder than any quality crap they shove across the table. Wake up Lutz and smell the coffee. GM is history. I should have bought a Honda or Toyota. :mad:

Sounds all too familiar to me. I had many of the same issues as you plus many many more. Does GM suck? In my opinion yes. BUT I can't control the fact that GM makes the only vehicle I want to drive. I test drove many many many honda's and toyota's. Hell I even owned a few. However- I loved my H3. Even with all the issues my '06 model had. I lemon law'd it and got an '08. Have had it for only a few months but I love it. Honda and Toyota don't come close to making a vehicle that's as fun to drive as the H3 is.

OH and according to my service rep- the only stations that are programmed to show any information are the XM channels. No AM/FM/CD.
