My H2's transfer case just broke for the third time this year. 
I stepped on the gas to try and get quickly across a busy road and the piece of **** transfer case exploded and left me sitting half way out in the road. Oil and chunks of metal and plastic spilled out on the road. I am discussed with this vehicle. Two of the three times the TC broke I was just driving on the road.
Anyone else have transfercase problems? |

My case just broke. The change forks and the change ring broke. These are made of plastic. I use my t-case alll the time. It will be in the shop for 9 days.
Sounds to me that you should be getting a new truck under lemon law. You should check into the laws in your state. This certainly affects driveability and safty. Make sure that the incedences happened within the first of ownership and within maufacturs warrenty. Then you have a case.

This problem seems more and more common. I believe there was a major revision (FIX) for 2004 for this problem.

I am calling my state's Attorney General Monday morning. This is definitely a dangerous fault. Thank god my family and I were on a 30 mph street when this happened. What if we were crossing a 70 mph highway and our H2 left us stranded in the middle? luckly three other guys helped me push it off the road. I also have witnesses, our neighbors saw the whole thing and gave my wife a ride home to get out other car.
I am wondering if GM will try to give us an 03 or could I get an 04? What about all the upgrades I put on? Will they switch them over? I put on Headers (threw out the stock exhaust manafold), Corsa, Airaid MIT and filter, DVD with flip down screen (dealer installed), Power points front and rear for the winch, rear tire carrier, back-up camera. I get a feeling I will get totally screwed.

That sure looks like some pretty piss poor castings. Is it the picture or are those pieces as porous as they look? I know the cast TC housings are usually porous, but the gears too? Did the dealer replace the entire TC or just replace the previous broken parts and salvage the rest.
Hope GM's got a fix..and soon. It's just one of those 1st year bugs that will require a bigger dose engineering to get it well. Maybe Dr. Goodwrench got a cure on the way.Let's hope..  |

Do you do heavy off road or just street..
I can see the Headers possibly the exhaust and intake being a possible escape for GM....
Good Luck keep us posted.

No Supercharger
They just replaced parts on the last two repairs. Guess they will have to put in a new transfer case now.
I do off-road but drive most of the time (98%) on the street.
The picture is accurate, the parts are as porous as they look.
I can change any of the parts back because it was towed into the dealer.
I also thought the dealer had to prove the modification caused the damage.

this is why adding a front locker (badly needed) is making me nervous. The service tech at Hummer 1000 Oaks said it would void warranty on the front diff, and maybe the t-case (he wasn't sure about the t-case). This guy has always been way cool to deal with so I trust him.
R2, any feedback from the dealer on your front locker? I was 90% going for it, now I'm 50/50.

My t-case did not fail due to the front locker. The plastic forks broke durring changing modes from lock to open. This repair is covered under warrenty.
I definatly encourge you to do your home work.

Ok, I have calmed down and want my H2 back from the dealer. They did not say a word about the modifications. They shouldn't any way. The mods are very mild and have nothing to do with the TC problem. My dealer has a great service manager. He said he was going to fight for a new TC. I said they would need a new TC. He said no, they could get a new case use the parts that are still good. After he got an answer from GM he is going to overnight a new TC case and get me on the road in a few days. They gave me a Cadillac to drive.

H2 Daddy, I'm glad to hear that you got your rig back, but I would still caution you to have an attorney around. The parts may get replaced by the dealer, but make sure that the dealer has authorized it with GM. Otherwise, GM will investigate, and charge the dealer back for the cost of repairs, which is then passed on to you.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!

I have not gotten my H2 back yet. I will be filing a lemon law case if the TC breaks again. In Minnesota the law is four times with the same repair and you have a case. This break down is number three.

It is official. I got my H2 back today with a new transfer case. No questions were raised about the intake and exhaust mods.
