Re: Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.
Interesting that these head problems are showing up on H3's with higher mileage (over 10, 20, 30K miles). I thought the relatively rare problem would show up earlier.

Re: Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.
I was at the dealer today and the service writer was explaining to a customer the problem and need for head replacement. Not good, but at least that was under warranty.

If that's true, then contact Hummer and demand they upgrade your warranty to 100K miles.

It is true I don't make this stuff up. You can review my thread My H3 is Broken which describes what I went through my first head change. Now it has been in the shop for more than two weeks and they say it is going to be another week or so while they get the parts.
So exactly who do I make this demand to upgrade my warranty to??
Have they done this for anyone else? I have been thinking I will trade it for an 07 and get the 100K warrenty IF the dealer will make the deal sweet enough. The salesman says he will let me have it at his invoice but I am not so sure that is a good deal.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me. |

Call Customer Assistance at 1-866-HUMMER6 and open a case. Demand was probably the wrong word to use. But explain what problems you've had and what you have been through. Then ask them to upgrade your warranty. Obviously, there's no guarantee they'll give you anything. They may just offer GMPP or service vouchers, or just extend the warranty on the parts that have failed. And yes, some of us have been compensated in some way when we had major recurring problems.

Re: Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.
WOW this thread started in Dec of 05 ..........................................
As you know I have 2 06 H-3's...
1 with less then 11000 miles and the other with around 37000...
purchase both in Jan 06....always serviced by HUMMER...made copies of important postings on this thread (VIN # posting & Colorado Engine letter)
My question is has anyone gotten an Extented Warrenty of ANY KIND without actually having the specified VIN # head replaced ? Its a question mainly effecting my COLLECTORS EDITION YELLOW one which I may break 50000 miles before Jan, 2010...
Also has anyone received any new info about this problem...?
Please let me know........

Re: Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.
2006 H3 bought in Shreveport Aug 05. Turn over 55000 in Dec 08. I had a check engine light come on ,onstar said emissions, never ran bad. Took it to dealer, they replaced the head, it was out of waranty but they covered all cost plus four day loaner car (09 CTS). They said #2 cyl had leaking valve.
Seems to run alot better, feels like a few more horsepower, noticed this traveling down i-20 going up hills.

Re: Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.
Crop ,What did they write up on the warranty ?
I figured if the head goes after 50,000 I will be out of warranty.
Im at 49,800 now warranty is up in about a week ,Runs as good as the day I picked it up. 
I get a funny feeling at 50,001 my light will pop on

Re: Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.
I don't have the paper work in front of me, something like ck engine light on, emissions, cyl. #2 valve leaking, replace head. They c/o head, c/o oil and topped off coolant. The guy in the service dept told me at first I would have to cover the cost of the bolts. I said sure I would. Later he said it was all covered. Like I said before, it never ran bad.

Re: Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.
I just turned over 50K miles last week. And it's an early built 2006 H3. I'm crossing my fingers.
