Re: I have a problem (need pics Tim)
 
There won't be any either.:mad:

I left the dealer and started having issues on the way bacck to Denver. Today the truck went to my local dealer to be looked at.
There arer quite a few issues...most cosmetic.
I am taking the H1 back to the selling dealer and getting my H2 back.

This truck looks great from a distance and in pics! Rides good. Handles good. Not even close to as plush inside as an H2 or H3 though.
Cosmetic inside sucks, engine is up for debate. It has enough power (not a rocket) but OK for merging into traffic.

The interior panels on mine are all warped...except for the drsd door. There is a water leak on the pssd front door somewhere. I found that on the way home too. Now there is black smoke on startup and a CTIS leak that looses about 4lbs overnight. Not a good first week of having this thing.

Other than that, the H1 is cool! But not cool enough for me to keep. I can't wait to get my H2 back. The dealer has agreed to swap the deal back. If all works out like they have promised, I have nothing but good things to say about them. We'll see.

THAT'S CRAP!! :mad: sorry to hear. Any chance of taking the H1 to Moab before the final swap? (sorry, had to ask)

Re: I have a problem (need pics Tim)
 
Just a word of advice. Take drty with you back to the dealer. I saw on an earlier thread what he did to an Element and can imagine what he would do to the sales guy if they try and screw you ;) :)

Just kidding man that sucks. I really was excited (for you) having gotten the truck. Did they have others there that could be a better deal??? Were these problems common for that year???

mstams 08-01-2006 03:57 PM

Re: I have a problem (need pics Tim)
 
Sounds like a bait and switch tactic to sell an Alpha... ;)

Just kidding. Sorry to hear it as I know you were really excited. :(

03 H2 Pewter SOLD
05 H2 SUT Desert Sand SOLD

06 H3 BLACK Still have and love it
04 H2 Pewter caught fire and returned

04 H1 Black Metallic POS returning to dealer


Mostly cosmetic issues!!! Not plushy enough!!! Smokes on start up!!! OMG...even a WATER LEAK!!!:eek:

Get REAL, it's a USED Diesel Powered REAL HUMMER SOFT/OPEN TOP model with 25,000 (maybe many Off-road) miles on it...but what really sucks is that the WORLD'S #1 (REAL) HUMMER DEALER (as determined year after year by REAL HUMMER OWNERS, not by GM-HUM-BUDS) would ever consider letting people like this purchase a REAL HUMMER!:mad: Jim Lynch, I am very disappointed to say the least!!! You definitely need to be screening prospective REAL HUMMER buyers a lot better;) ...this GM-HUM-BUD definitely snuck through!:D

Re: I have a problem (need pics Tim)
 
Ditto, Real hummers are noisy, uncomfortable, and probably leak. Thats why we love them. If we wanted the cushy, quiet version we'd get an H2.

usetosellhummer 08-07-2006 06:59 PM

Re: I have a problem (need pics Tim)
 
sorry but I could have told you. Fit and finish is not the strong factor and it will never be nice riding or posh like the H2. I drove an 04 for 3 months as a demo and some of what your saying is normal.

NoMoGMPG 08-07-2006 11:23 PM

Re: I have a problem (need pics Tim)
 
Damn Tim, I thought you knew the H1's capability was a trade-off with creature comforts. It was never really designed to be a cruiser. I guess I should have let you ride/drive mine first. Sorry you were disappointed, but at least you're back in the H2.

Dave

p.s. Please remove the 'POS' moniker from your sig or I will crush you :mad: ;)

timgco 08-08-2006 04:45 AM

Re: I have a problem (need pics Tim)
 
Removed per NoMo. His tires are bigger than mine.


The comfort wasn't bad.. don't get me wrong. It wasn't as comfy as an H2, but the reasons were just beyond loose cosmettic panels. The water leak pissed me off, yes, but the engine/ turbo was having issues. A little smoke out of a deisel.... big deal. Enough black smoke to clear out a 10 acre lot of mosquitos, not good. Over heating over 70mph was another issue along with visble corosion on much of the wires.

This ONE was not taken care of properly and I wasn't willing to go through the entire truck to make it realiable. In the end, that H1 was very sweet ride! I will have one some day if I find "that perfect one."

H1's still rock in my book, but this one wasn't going to be part of daily routines.

fawk corrosion, smoke, wheeling and water leaks it's all about looking REAL COOL. :cool:

Thanks Tim for those additional details. First thought you may have fallen victim to something like this as so many have:

HER: "You take that 'POS H1' thing back and get my H2 (substitute H3 when applicable) or you'll be sleeping on that couch forever!":mad:

HIM: "Oh please no dear, not the couch! But what am I gonna tell all my gal & guy buds on elcova?":confused:

HER: "Just tell them that 'POS H1' had cosmetic issues and smoked like a diesel":D

Or in your case it would be you arguing with your husband. Don't be butthurt just because everyone doesn't completely fall for the H1 mystique. Hell, I've come very close to buying an H1 several times. Then I snap out of my trance and smile with the knowledge that my H2 will do 99.9% of the wheeling that the H1 will and I'll be 200% more comfortable. The H1 was a great rig, but evolution even applies to the automotive world.

Re: I have a problem (need pics Tim)
 
If it weren't for H2's and H3's, there would be no dealers left to fix the H1's.

I guess this means that the real HUMMERS are now H2/3's, since the H1 isn't made anymore.

I think the real reason they aren't made anymore is due to the fact this world couldn't handle any more stuck up a$$holes!

At least the H1 owners I know are cool!:D

Tim, your continued quest to some day become a member of the elite REAL HUMMER Owners Club is commendable and should serve as an inspiration to those other less fortunates.:D

To show my heart is in the right place, you may now freely interchange the word ?ORIGINAL?:D with ?REAL?:D preceding HUMMER. No, there is no need to thank me Tim, you earned it!!!

As you may have noticed there is an H and a 1 in my username. It is there only in remembrance of how badly GM trashed:mad: the HUMMER name.

The parting question for today?s post is:

Did you by chance put some GASOLINE:eek: in that 2004 DIESEL powered REAL (optional) ORIGINAL HUMMER to create that black smoke screen???

Comfort is relative. It is different to everyone.

You right automotive evolution does happen look at the new GL class mercedes.

Timgo- Your right if it wasn't for the H2 and H3's there wouldn't be more dealers to fix the H1's. But I live in an area where there was an original Hummer Deal so it doesn't effect me.

Awww man, I didn't know I wasn't supposed to put gas in a deisel engine. no wonder it wasn't running good. and the water leak I found out I didn't have the softop installed so water comes into the cab when there's no roof. :rolleyes: ... what was I thinking.

BTW- do you even own a HUMMER? Or are you a diehard BMW owner? Nothing against X5's, they are one sweet ride! for soccer mom's/ dad's.;)
