Hummer Happening RIP OFF DAMAGE

[MisterE]

GREAT NEWS

My Dealership Came Through! They worked behind the scenes and resolved the matter to get the work fixed, I beleive under warranty. I do not want to say for sure as I do not want to commit them to other repairs or speak for the other trucks (sorry for the cover your butt statement but I felt it was prudent to do so). I just wanted to update you all the fiasco and what I consider it to be over! If any of you have a part # for the front fender plastic wheel well (I know many of you have cracked ones) I would love that because I would love to get an estimate on how much it will cost to fix. I think I will order the part via GM Parts direct and do it myself, when the crack gets worse. Overall since it has happened before I am not considering this part of the bad spotting.

I would definately like to see more posts in this thread because it has really given me some great information on Hummer Happenings, I always thought the local dealers got together spent the $$ and maybe hired experts from HH to come in and help, my eyes are now open that it differs greatly.

I do beleive I will attend again, but this time I will talk to the guys before going and HUMMJAY and other folks that were there that have posted I would love to get a smaller group together that I could trust to learn more wheeling with that I could simply say "I'm done today, I don't feel comfortable doing this to my vehicle with" The mounds were great and I am dying to go back..just at my own pace.

Thanks for all your input and this forum it was so helpful, I would have been lost without your help!

I busted mine on a run recently but not sure exactly when or how. The part numbers are below but you will find that the shipping is about double the $28 part cost

LF fender liner - p/n 15859542; new p/n 15832721
RF fender liner - p/n 15859543; new p/n 15859542

Here is what mine looks like

Ok, becasue the event was GM WRKS it was put on by a GM authorized event group so now you go after GM. Call hummmer sutomer service ans start a case file. You want to send the bill to Gm or GM WRKS for the repair. The dealer hired them and they are GM approved vendor. There you go man, it's GM and they F'd up

Thanks!

I would love to form our own rag-tag off road club. I lack the funds to go much beyond stock on my H3, plus I'm unsure how much I'd want to do anyway untill the warranty is up so I would be more focused on moderate things like say the Mounds (when it isn't totally underwater ), Silver Lakes, and other spots you may know of.

Since several posters in this thread were at the HH if you want to PM me I would be happy to try to arrange things or HUMMJAY if you want I could PM my email and info you already have a group that ocassionally goes out.

Hi All,


Wanted to reiterate how much I appreciate all your advice and support on this situation. I was very upset, it was helpful knowing there were a bunch of other owners out there \ event attendees that held similar views about the event and had advice about approaching the problem.

This forum had been a great place for the excitement about the release of the hummer to pre-purchase and all the ups and downs (and the odd angular thing I did..).

Thanks Again!

That sucks the smith hit the fan at that outing. It still looked fun though! And the h3 kept everyone safe, etc, even though there were some clowns running the show!

Our Hummer Happenings here in Atlanta are great. They are free, have good people running them, and few have any incidents of breakage besides a tie rod here and there. Most of that stuff is due to over use of the skinny peadal anyway. These pics are from ours....

Well, at least you won't have to worry about the crack spreading on yours (ha ha) Man, that sucks, but I'm thinking you probably had fun doing it! It is odd that these things are going and people can recall hanging up on stuff. Maybe they need to re-design so the front doesn't hang so low??

Thanks HummerNewbie...shipping yuck! Least I know what is a fair price.

Dare I ask is there a place other than that (thankfully) kindness of forum members to find partnumbers. I called a dealer (not my local dealer, they were not open yet) to try to get the part number and this place would only give prices not part numbers. Just curious if a Chilton's or anything would have the numbers needed for a GM Parts Direct search.

Again thanks for the research!

That's the name of the game, Mr.E...you gotta be able to trust your spotter or guide. Send out a note to all of us when you want to go back out to the Mounds, and we'll include you when we send out a note! Use the Off-Roading part of the forums to plan a gathering. We've found some really cool back trails with river crossings & twist ditches & tight, technical turns, but you won't bury it unless you want to. We should be able to get in one or two more trips before total freeze-up, maybe we could try a snow-run after that!

COOL

Will be in touch!
