Broken Door Handle
Hi all, Jumped in my 3 yesterday and the door warning wouldnt go out on the display. So I checked out the doors and my left rear door handle was broke. I couldnt tell until I opened the door and saw the cracked piece. Not the actual handle but the stub part beside it.  Didnt looked tampered with, just broke. So out to the dealer I go and it was a 3 minute fix  The service rep said they have replaced quite a few of them allready. Cant say enough about the service at D&D Hummer here in Davenport. Rolled me right in and was installing a new one within minutes. This dealership is top notch.  Just though I would share this info incase you have a door alarm, it might be the problem. Happy Holidays all,,, |

Re: Broken Door Handle
Good info. Nice clean machine. From your pic what are those objects by your D ring and where is the spare?

Re: Broken Door Handle
I am on my 3rd door handle. They are a pos. Even the dealer broke one without trying.

Re: Broken Door Handle
Yes, they are a POS, yes they are having troubles and are supposedly redesigning to make stronger. Don't break a front one, it is a pain in the arse to replace.

Re: Broken Door Handle
It looks like the right rear one has a spear sticking in it! Sorry. Does everybody else notice a lot of slack in the handles?

Yes. And they are a POS not only for breaking, but mud gets inside the split and you have to clean it out to close the door or the handle stays open.

Re: Broken Door Handle
Same door handle on my H3 (passenger side, rear door), is not "broken" per se but I have noticed it sticking.

Re: Broken Door Handle
I think the dealer called them "end caps" I had the same one fall off in my hand when I opened the door. Those things are cheap as they get.

I'm on my third front passenger door handle. I don't have a clue why either as no one really uses that door. The kids sit in the back and I'm the driver. We barely use it as a family vehicle as my hubby usually drives and he likes to drive his Impala as opposed to the H3.
