Transmission Slips?
Hey guys, i need your help, since i bought my h3 i loved it, everything about it, somethings i would improvise, but in all i love my ride, been wanting it since it came out.
ON thursday, i went to the bank and parked it, got out, put it on reverse, and then to drive to drive off, and i felt a jerk, and the transmission slipped, i put it back on park, and back to drive, and everything was ok, it happened again on friday, saturday.
Finally today, when i was on my way dropping my kids off to my x's, it slipped on the freeway, doing about 80mph, it just sllpped completely, i have a 9 year old and a 3 year old, and it really freaked me out, i was able to pull over and exit the freeway, then it went back to gear?
any thoughts??

Re: Transmission Slips?
actually if you turn the screw on the hamburger valve two turns forwards it will adjust that. the dealer prolly didnt check that during final inspection.... har har you shouldnt need to ask this
TAKE IT TO THE DEALER

Re: Transmission Slips?
The dealer will probably not be able to fix it if the computer did not record the event unless they can drive it for long enough that it repeats.

Re: Transmission Slips?
The transmission finally went out... completely,
they replaced the whole transmission, (my deposit hadnt even gone through yet....it was postdated)
they fixed it, and gave me three goodwill gestures:
1. 24-36 month full maintenance. (including brakes)
2. 100,000 mile warranty, plus $2000 giftcertificated (to buy roof marker lamps, etc.)
what do you guys think?

Re: Transmission Slips?
It's probably fine, but dealerships just make me naturally suspicious. The warranty I can understand, but the 2-3 yr maintenance and $2000 gift certificates? It just seems like a lot to keep your business. Maybe their cust serv surveys have been low and they need yours to come in high?

Re: Transmission Slips?
I'd probably take the warranty and gift certificates, but I wonder if accepting these incentives would make it harder to work the lemon law, if you want to go that route later.

Re: Transmission Slips?
Take #2 and enjoy your H3 until you hit 100K miles. Sounds like a reasonable attempt at customer satisfaction.

Re: Transmission Slips?
I am not sure if this is a transmission slip or a miss but for some reason, when I back into my driveway (slightly uphill) I get a moment of hesitation and very slight loss of power before it resumes normal power.
Has anyone else had this occurr?

I think this sounds very good. Just be sure to get everything in writing, and see what the deductible on the warrantee is, and who is the underwriter.
Enjoy the truck!

Re: Transmission Slips?
OK, they adjusted everything,
what they are offering me is only 24 months carefree package, plus a 6 year, 72,000 mile warranty, "or" the $2000 was "towards a car - buyback package" - if - it the arbitration gets to that point....
So basically, i feel theyre not giving me anything. just an extension on the years (2), and only 22,000 mile more warranty. -no money-
So... i went to a bmw dealership, they checked my credit so forth, and the finance guy said i could just buy another car, and not accept my h3 back. So i test drove two cars, which i really like, the bmw x5, and 525, but..
I love the hummer h3, the way it feels, so big and comfortable, and i feel im in command, and i could go through anything with it...
I just wonder why they wont just give me a 2007 h3, or another replacement vehicle?
