It finally happened (head valve)
15,626 miles. Engine started idling rough in the morning, and then the check engine light came on later that evening. Dealer gave me a Cadillac as a loner. Also, all my radio buttons were wearing off on the Monsoon system, it looked really tacky so they're going to replace those too. Hopefully this won't be a nightmare experience, and will be fixed quick and easy. The dealer knew all about the head problems the second I brought it in.

Open a case file with GM and demand an extended warranty on the engine and drivetrain.

Re: It finally happened (head valve)
On the radio buttons, what year is it? I was disappointed with the buttons looking really bad on my 05 Envoy. The first thing I noticed on my 08 H3 is that they look like they are black textured.. as they are not able to be rubbed off?

Re: It finally happened (head valve)
How do I go about opening a case file with GM. Also have them checking into the excessive wind noise on side pillars.

Re: It finally happened (head valve)
Gm sent a letter to owners of 05 Colorado's,eary build H3's used 05 heads.
Maybe they will include the early h3's at some point.
Copy and save for referance if head goes after 50k ,Gm might extend it to 100k ?
