[Hmmm2]

My dealer/service area is open on Saturdays until 5pm. I went to take the test drive on my H3 to see if the sound was still there. My service rep greeted me. Instead of the tech rep, the service dept. manager took the test drive with me. Fortunately, I didn't turn in the loaner car first. Of course, as soon as I made the first stop in the H3, the bind/grind sound was easy to hear. I just looked at the service manager after the first stop and his face twisted. I stopped 5 more times and he said, "Ok, ok, I hear it". We drove back to the service area and he ran ahead of me to my service rep. I am so grateful for your input, fourfourto, because I used your words about the problem you had with your H3 .. regarding rotors and defective pads. At least it had sounded like I knew what I was talking about. He told me to hold onto the Escalade until he calls me on Monday. He 'thinks' maybe it's only the pads. I told him I was to make sure there aren't any grooves/gouges on the rotors because it really sounds like a rotor problem to me. If they tell me it's not the rotors, I will make sure it is documented on the paperwork that I had brought it in questioning a possible rotor problem. That way if I have a recurring problem (3 times=lemon law), I can fall back on the paperwork. I just want my Hummer back AND A-ok! I'll post what I hear next week! Thanks again!
