Time to evaluate my purchase !

[Wisha Haddan H3]

I recently posted 2 survey threads on H3 problems. One showed about 47 problems with 400 views. The other showed 26 problems out of 245 views. Sure, they're informal surveys, but that's a pretty low problem rate for a 1st and 2nd year vehicle. Not bad at all.

Plus, of all the problems listed, most have been covered by warranty (including some paint problems), parts redesign (like the A-pillar, marker & off-road lights, roof rails, steering column, tie rods, and cylinder heads) or improvements in quality control at the factory. I've only heard of a very few who had to resort to lemon laws or GM buy-back.

And then there's GM's response to customer complaints and usability issues. So far, we've seen 2006 1/2, 07 and 07 1/2 changes like the shifter cubby hole, window switch location, PCM/BCM upgrades, child-locks and the 3.7L power increase (with no loss in fuel mileage).

And then there's warranty coverage. H3 product support is very high, even for part failure off-road. Most 4x4 makers call actual off-road use "abuse" and won't cover any breakage under warranty. Not Hummer. Lots of members have reported warranty coverage offroad. And the rate of breakage has dropped as parts are tested, refined or redesigned.
