Unhappy H3 Owner is on a distinguished road
Default Re: STAB SYS/TRACTION FAIL SERVICE comes on on the DIC

As for Hmmm3, we did call OnStar, they said everything was fine. They also said to keep driving it until Monday or Tuesday. It is not a oopps I pushed that button when I shouldn't have. I did not just buy it yesterday. This is not my first 4wd vehicle. I am not saying all H3's are junk it just seems that the one that I purchased has many problems since the day I drove it off the lot. As a daily driver for my wife I am concerned for her safety and do not need a vehicle that is going to have issues like this on a regular basis. Would you want your wife in a vehicle that has drive train issues like this. I don't think so.

Please do sell it and get something else as soon as you can. You might just be a frustrated owner but you come across as a troll or AE based on your posts especially comments like wishing you could get an H2. Like the H2s have any less issues than the H3. Any vehicle make or model with have some vehicles with issues. If you are truly an H3 owner with all the issue then sorry you had them but they sure the hell are not common wide spread issues.

That is funny. The same thing happens to me as we were coming off of Black Bear Pass this weekend. I attributed it to either:
1. water from a puddle messing with the sensor, or
2. me not putting the tranny into neutral before pushing buttons to take it out of 4Hi.

I called OnStar and they gave me the same "We don't really know" answer suggesting I take it to the dealer. Once in a parking lot, I put it in neutral and shifted it back into 4Hi then 4Low and then I shut the H3 off. Error gone and no problems since.

I will have the dealer replace the sensor next time I drive the 180 to go visit them.

Uhhappy: Whenever someone's first post is nothing but complaints, it is easy to assume you are a troll and just causing problems.

I'm still trying to figure out how and why, the ABS system can apply the brakes, since the failsafe in any ABS system is off, and normal non-ABS brakes take over.

As for my other statement, I stand by it. If I had this much trouble with a vehicle, I would never state I really like it, I would state I really hate it; regardless of who manufactured the vehicle.
