To HUmmer or not to Hummer that is my question

[belezeebub]

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?

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.

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.

I thought I would repost that massive wish list of yours in case anyone missed that thread.

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.

[H2Finally]

I WANT ONE!! Does it come in Pewter? Can I fit a 12" tire without the 0.5" lift? Does it have a rear spare carrier? Most importantly -- is it quiet??

[Hummer Man]

If you have to ask don't get one!

[Longhorn]

I know how flustered you get with decisions, so I took the liberty of choosing a vehicle for you. You'll love it I'm certain.

If the network administrator line didn't have the ladies swooning, I'm sure this bad little ride will inspire some serious panty dropping.

Your Welcome.

[Dan]

Can I put a deposit on one?

[Buckeye Hummer]

(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.

[timgco]

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!

[RIC-H0]

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.

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.

Uh no. Nice deduction though. You think of that all by yourself? You must have me confused with someone else. I was logging out one day and liked that cool sign, whatever it is. So I used it.

[Livin\' Large]

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.

You must be imagining it.
Your brain is routed via your butt, from there your packets travel over a scrawny frame to the whiny talking device called your mouth. I see no reason why we'd think you're hetero so I am closing your thread.
