After reading this and other boards it seems to me that the H2 has some "Issues" with out starting a Flame war (I hope)
I am not as wealthy as some of you (it has taken me 3 years to save up thye money for a Hummer) and Need a Truck that I can drive everyday and one that doesn't break down all the time.

I have seen posted about leaks, tie-rods, fuel, computer issues, electrical issue, transmissions and a ton of others


So here are Yet more questions.

1. How often has your H2 been in the shop?
2. How often does it break down?
3. What kind of issues have you had?

Given that this WILL be my daily driver and only car should I get one?

Great, your one of "those" spineless types who needs to be coddled. I thought you just had a laundry list of add ons all picked out and now you can't pull the trigger?

I can't decide for you and I'm not going to rationalize a 60k purchase for you. Be a big boy and show mommy which car you want.

If you need any help deciding on lunch tommorow, call me.

Don't buy it, it will be in the shop all the time for oil changes, tire rotations and other really scarry stuff. Oh, they'll also provide a rental car for added inconvenience.

Gee ask a question and get a personal attack, you are truly number one in my book can you guess which finger I use to signal that?

I don’t consider these Normal problems, on a 60000-dollar car.

Thank you kind sir for the witty retort. Have yourself a weekend!

I'll be available if you need any more help making those pesky decisions that life seems to hurl your way.

Mine was in the shop one time due to the on-star unit not functioning. I should have just left it broke cause now I spend more money than I am comfortable with using the phone feature. It is addicting.

Other than that I have had to touch up some rusty bolts and just check fluids now and then. I beat my truck pretty good, nothing compared to some of the people here but I am far from gentle with it.

My Silverado was in the garage all the time for little problems and I never treated it as rough as I do this truck so I'm pretty happy about that.

No matter what your decision winds up being you will have something go wrong here or there but you will never be stuck without a vehicle since they will always give you one to drive. Hell they come pick my truck up and bring it back to me just for an oil change so I can't complain since it is a little over an hour to get to the dealership.

good luck on your choice!
For what it is worth, this is just another GM vehicle! You may get lucky and have no problems, you may be unlucky and have a ton of problems. I have owned many GM vehicles (mostly trucks) and this one has made me very happy! I have had trouble with my compresor! That's it other than minor issues! This is still a fairly new truck and needs some kinks worked out (compressor) and if you take care of it, it should take care of you! i can't make the choice for you, but, I can tell you I am glad i got mine!

No, Mrs. Beezly, you shouldn't. It's a really long drive from Hillsburrito to the Hummer dealer. You'll be subjecting yourself to that awful traffic on 26 and all of those grumpy econo-box drivers that will be giving you dirty looks will probably make you really uncomfortable, too.
Get a Hyundai. You'll blend right in.

Don't pay attention to these people.

I’ve had mine since the end of January. The abs light came on and stayed on. It seemed one of the modules shorted out. No problem, dealer fixed and yes, I did get a loaner to ease the inconvenience of not having the truck.

Around town or highway driving is simply amazing. I love the way it rides. Never had it offroad, so I cannot comment on that aspect of it. I’ve had several Jeeps, Cherokee’s as well as many Grand Ltd’s, and Navigators (the most boring vehicle on the planet). Mileage on the Jeeps was marginally better and the Navigator worse.

But every time someone gives me the thumbs up or comments on how they wish they could get one, it brings a big smile to my face. That makes up for any and all inconveniences I will or may incur during my ownership.

If you can do it, order one asap. Your pleasure and pride will outweigh anything else.

(said with Spicoli voice from Fast Times at Ridgemont High) duuuuude, it's oldtoker smokin' the fat one and jumpin' on the keyboard again. Are you one of those guys that smells like dope 24/7? Do you have dreadlocks? How many Grateful Dead bootlegs do you have stored in your drug bus?

Beezlebub, H2 warranty and maintenance is good, bugs should certainly be worked out by now. Don't get an h1 because the cheap bastards at amg won't even pay for a $30 rental car.

Just get one, so you can have bragging rights. Because as of now, you have no rights. The feling of being an H2 owner cannot be described in words.
Get one, and you will understand.
Till then, you are just blowing hot air out your ars.

Then dont get one you worry wort. If you go to any vehicle specific forum like this you will see a few bugs that need fixing for some of the guys, and a few guys that have really bad luck, but you will also find guys who havent had a single problem.
Buy a used car and put the rest in a retirement fund if you are that concerend.

It is still a GM vehicle and therefore a crap shoot. They can't build a vehicle to save their own lives. Do you like it or not? I love mine but have no expectations that it will not break.

I have had a Lexus, BMW, Honda, Toyota--never ever a service call--about 300,000 miles--My Hummer rattled off the lot. I just bought another one.

Do you like it or not?

Don't buy one. You will whine all the time.

Well after owning mine for a while, it went in the shop for the last time last week. I had been through the air suspension issues, leaking diff, a/c issues, sunroof problems, leaking pillar, power steering pump, headlight problems, onstar issues, 4wd problems, stereo problems, fuel pump, transmission and a few other things. So now have to find something else to drive. Not sure what to do. Just my two cents.

Change forums.

I knew that "laundry list" of extras that you were gonna load up "your" H2 with was all HORSE ****!!!!!! You sound like a 16 year old kid who has pipe dreams of owning an H2. You gonna tell me that all the time you spent on this site prior to posting that bull **** wish list, now all of a sudden you discovered there are issues with H2's. Sounds to me like a bull **** excuse to cover up the real reason you aren't buying one.....it's a little much for a guy on a paper boys salary. Go sign up on a Dodge Viper forum and bull **** those guys for a while.
Oh and incidentally my H2 was only in the shop once for seat module.

"Mrs. Beesly"- thats gold DF!!!!!!

Gee more personal attacked, nice board you have here, I'll try not to let a few bad apples spoil the barrel, as for my bike I have a different kind of paper route here is a Photo of my route. this is one row of the network room where I work, I have been a Network administrator for over ten years, would love to be a paper boy alot less stress. FYI do paper boys clear 60k a year?

That looks a lot like my computer room. I like to call it the technology center since there are soo many blinking lights and gadgets strewn about.

Buckeye,
If your dealer wont even pickup a rental car you are getting screwed hard. My local HUMMER dealer is great about that stuff. If my truck broke down in Tenn. they would get me a rental car to drive home, put me up in a hotel room for free, then pick my truck up in Tenn take it back to the shop and fix it. Last time I was there (a couple of weeks ago) one of the guys from the parts counter was leaving that afternoon to deliver a really awesome looking blacked out black H2 to Montana.

Now that was in poor taste. But now that you've put it out there, it does explain why it took you 3 years to save up for your Hummer.

I was not quite sure who ken was referring to.

Bel, I think you would will be happy with whatever decision you make. You just have to decide what you want to drive and what you are willing to pay for it. Also think about longevity. Just fyi.

If you are looking for a daily driver, I would simply suggest something else besides and H2. I don't like driving mine in traffic at all.

If you are looking for something to take off road and don't need a huge amount of storage space, get a Rubicon and be happy.

If you are not in a position to afford a vehicle that is going to be high maintenace as an H2 can be, I would suggest something else.

Quite frankly, if you are not a risk taker, it is hard to suggest ANY 1st year car or truck to anyone.

I say get yourself a Cherokee and be happy with a fun truck that will have a good value.

I personally love my H2 but they are simply not a vehicle for everyone. There are just some folks that are not simply up to owning one and vice versa.

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Alec W:
So how can one who "clears" 60K afford that wish list? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Maybe he's still leeching off his parents?

I can picture it - gets up in the AM, puts on his fuzzy slippers, comes out of "his room" and goes into the kitchen where mom has set out his morning cereal, packs his PB&J lunch for him, lays out his clothes for the day and then sends him off to work. While he's a bigshot Network Admin (one step above Help Desk), mom is home washing his clothes and preparing his favorite dinner and apple pie.
Comes in after work, throws down his book bag and heads to his room where he lays on the bed and stares at his favorite Lizzy McGuire poster until dinner is ready. A nice bubble bath and gets tucked in only to start over the next day.

Paycheck goes into the bank, asks Dad for gas money.

This will be my last post on this board all the elitist arrogant *******s have degraded and belittled me to the point where I don’t want anything more to do with any of you.

A few parting comments

Most of you are pretty nice and helpful, it is too bad that there are a few bad apples spoiling this barrel, I will go ahead and get my Hummer is December like I planed.

I am not a paper boy, I do not work at best buy and I haven’t eaten a PB and J sandwich in over 20 years, My parents do not support me in fact I give them money.

I have been saving for three years to get my Hummer (No I am not really bad with finances like someone posted)

I am not sixteen you could check my profile and see that I just turned thirty-five on Saturday.

The reason a person clearing 60k a year can afford that wish list is because I have been saving, I have been putting away 1000-1500 each month so I can get my wish list.
I could post a copy of my bank statement but you would just say it was done in photo shop, I could post a scan of my paycheck but once again the naysayers would call it a fake.

How can someone clearing 60K afford to put away that much money? Its simple I am a contractor I get transferred around from project to project and town to town I live in an apartment and I don’t have credit cards or car payments I don’t have any bills except for utilities, food and rent.

I am a Sr. Network administrator currently at Intel in Hillsboro Oregon, (see link for a listing of salary for that position in Hillsboro area, and FYI network administrator is not “a step above helpdesk”


In closing to the helpful people thank you, and to the rest goodbye, this square peg no longer has any interest in trying to fit into your round hole, you can keep your elitist, little club I want no part of it or anything else you have to offer.

If I were you, I seriously reconsider your decision to buy an H2.
If the little bit of ribbing you taken here has made you act like a crying little girl then try to imagine what you're going to do after the first few times you get flipped off for driving an H2. I can just see it now- "Crying H2 driver calls 911 after receiving vulgar hand gestures." The news will cut to a shot of a blubbering sissy male sitting behind the wheel of a perfectly clean H2, trying to tell his pathetically gay story while sobbing heavily to a smirking police officer.

Please don't buy an H2.

What in the hell is wrong with this thread's spacing?
