Re: Lemon Law: H3 is the most unreliable car I've ever owned!
The H3 is the best truck I have ever had. I love driving it. I think the original poster is the extreme exception to have eng trouble. My truck has performed flawlessly. It is a joy to drive. Actually I was concerned about the power before I bought, but I have found it to be fine. It is not a dragster, but i really dont see a huge difference between the H3 and my wifes 2004 explorer. And besides my last fill up was 20.3 gallons and I got 384 miles, yea 19mpg.

Our H3 has done well.
I flog the krap out of it. I have to, we live in the mountains and I pass people every day, they won't pull over. I mean I REALLY flog it. I drive 45 miles each way and going home is all uphill. I'm used to a lot of power on the other vehicles we have so I don't like taking an extra ten minutes to get home. It's constantly in third gear way up in the RPMs. The only problem we've had is a code flashing Serv 4WD. It's the wiring for the rear locker and our Hummer dealer is fantastic. Hell, anytime you get a Cadillac STS for a loaner, it's a pretty cool deal (great car by the way but it's still a CAR)
My way of thinking is that the engine's a pretty good one. I've never whooped up on an engine so hard. I feed it synthetic oil to keep it happy, everything else considered I'd expect that if anyone here's engine would fail on them, it'd be ours. Yeah, there's a few things I'd change on the Hummer but calling it a POS is not what I've found to be true. About getting an XTerra, go side hill it for us all, take lots of pictures of the roll over. |

Dude, GM has fixed the issue back in March. That is why for a while heads were hard to find. If all three of your engine rebuilds were due to the intake valves then the dealer kept installing pre-revised cylinder heads. If the second and third problems were due to other issues, then it was the dealer who screwed up during the rebuild. There was another person on here that complained the same. First problem was GM's issue with the intake valve guides. The next problems such as the camshaft sprocket falling off, were the fault of the dealer. GM did fix the issue with the cylinder heads, and the new heads will last hundreds of thousands of miles; if intalled correctly. So, stop with the BS of GM can't fix the problem. If you have so much trouble with the "vehicle," sell it. I would be curious as to how many miles between cylinder head problems, because the wear issue with the intake valve guides takes a few K to start, if they are going to start wearing that is. But in my opinion, coming on here and blasting GM when you weren't here before makes me see a "troll." I may be wrong, but your first post is pure of BS in regard GM not repairing the problem. Oh, and should I say, the warranty numbers are not that high, I'm from MI, currently in Moab, and so far, with 11K, no cylinder head problems. (And yes, a very small number of Colorado/Canyons are feeling the same pain, but naturally, with much smaller numbers.) I have to head back to the red rocks and sand. |

Well, if you have any legal fees, and for the depreciation aspect. I don't think Lemon Law claims go as smooth as it seems. But I don't know. It can't be free.:rolleyes: |

Re: Lemon Law: H3 is the most unreliable car I've ever owned!
Underpowered? As compared to what? I had an 95 Explorer Sport with a 4.0 V6 that I traded for the H3. The Explorer might have been a bit quicker on the highway, but only a bit. Honestly, I really doubt I could tell the difference if I could drive the two back to back now. I know some doubt the benefits of the K&N aircharger but I do feel it helps the engine breath, assisting in countering any highway speed issues. It also seems to be assisted by lower viscosity synthetics that are designed to reduce friction and heat . In fact, when the H3 engine kicks in at high RPMs, I make sure I am hanging on because it "goes".
This whole horespower issue also is discredited by comparing the HP numbers of the Explorer vs. H3. And there is so much more torq... Albeit one example of qualitative results as compared to quantitatie, dyno-type results, I have to say that this H3 set up is probably the most optimal. But again, that is my humble opinion. It isn't a Mustang or for fair comparison's sake, a GM Cyclone, but it is a very, very good all around vehicle. For me, if I want wicked speed, I'll go home and pull the Probe GT out of the garage. And I can agree with the statement on side-hilling the Xterra or even the Explorers (latter from experience) - keep in mind the horsepower issues when you are barrel-rolling down those inclines :jump: Oh yeah - and good luck with the Lemon Law - from experience, it is a joke. |

NISSAN MORE RELIABLE!
THAT'S A CROCK OF SH** ! JUST BECAUSE YOU WHERE ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE FEW THAT BOUGHT A LEMON DOES NOT HOLD SH** AGAINST THE H3'S RELIABILITY! I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD NISSAN'S THAT HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS. SO HOW RELIABLE ARE THEY? :twak: |

:rant: :iagree: I had a 2004 murano for 2 years 20,000 miles. The sunroof leaked and was replaced,the alternator was replaced, then the battery.Also had a problem with the headlights not sure how the fixed it. It did have plenty of power on the road though. On the beach when it dough in (by the way the H3 has never came close to diging in)the variable speed trans made a burning smell and felt like it lost all power(slipped),that happened a few times.I dont beleve the trans was going to last that long I got rid of it before the warranty expired. |

BOY U dickheads are rough on the guy. Where U read an AH, I see a guy with a legit complaint. Hes maybe not the best with composition of sentences about his complaint but hes nowhere near being a plant or setup.
I own 2 H-3's and yes there are compaints AND we all push the limit sometimes with OUR bantering and BS'ing BUT WE, ALL of us have to STOP beating up on people who disagree with us. NOW, As I read it he is taking the right action for his state AND I believe his dealers have aggrevated the situation.. Now thats my thoughts RYD :beerchug: :beerchug: :beerchug: :beerchug: :beerchug: :beerchug: :beerchug: |

Re: Lemon Law: H3 is the most unreliable car I've ever owned!
I had a sgt named skinner back around 1991 at Ft Carson. I was working Norad and Ute hill back in those days.
Skinner, Steve Skinner was a real brick. Huff and tuff on the surface, talked more smack than a box of Sugar Smacks that was dropped to the enemy. Get this, skinner drop us 1400 meters from point of contact with opfor. skinner had been briefed that a movement to contact would take place, and he decided to get all of us killed. I hate the name skinner, just makes me wanna freeze my paint balls. ((( sorry folks I just had a flash back ))) skinner was/is a kitty cat. |
