Sorry to hear about your H3 I'd be ****ed too!
I haven't had any problems with mine, except when I go thru the carwash with the air on high, air leaks out of the windows and makes bubbles by the side view mirrors.

The VW we had was terrible as far as reliability and problems. It was in the shop constantly. German?

DANG...all of these terrible things happening to people with their new H3's...it's starting to scare me a bit..I havn't had any of these problems so far. I hate that so many have had bad experiences...BUT, I have to say that every day that I drive it, I can't imagine NOT owning my H3...I love it that much!

Any vehicle will have problems, even Toyotas.

I don't wear rose colored glasses, but I have had no problems with the vehicle.
Its fit and finish is better than any other vehicle I have owned in years, no rattles (which I have to say surprises the hell out of me, considering I live in the state with the worse roads, and it is like off-roading every morning and evening, to and from work).
I only have about 2400 miles, so rattles may come, but they will come for any vehicle in this state. No tire pressure readings, and my tires are set at the recommended 35 psi, no vibrating gas pedal, and no issues with door switches (whatever that issue is).
So far, I could not have been more happier with any vehicle.

I have to agree with you f5fstop, I have had no problems after one month of having my H3. It may seem that there are "alot" of complaints to some people, but most are from the same people that are having problems. I love my H3 and couldn't be happier so far...no problems, glitches, strange noises, etc.

Dude, sell it now! It's a Hummer thing. Drive an H1 for a day and your will know all you need to know. It is a friggin truck! Trucks make noise and your dealer may suck? buy a Lex or Bmw and have fun.

Have to agree with the majority here, I really have no complaints and have had no problems. Odd noises, yes, a few rattles, yes but I am not concerned and consider them to be minor. As said above, it is a truck after all. And the best vehicle I have ever bought.

No problems here either after 2 weeks and just over 1100 miles.
I'm very picky (my wife says anal) about my vehicles. Rattles, squeaks, air noise, etc. just drive me nuts. So far, nothing on the H3 at all. Can't say that about my last several SUV's, all had noises straight from the dealer.
I'm sure that with the firm ride will come some rattles, hopefully the cool factor of driving this thing will make it worth putting up with.
Hope all that are having problems will give the dealer a chance to make it right, that's part of what they are there for.

I bought mine on Sept. 11, I have managed to rack up 800 miles in 5 days. The truck didn't have 60 miles on it before it was covered in mud. I have to agree with f5fstop. No problems, no real rattles or noises. We will see what the future brings though. It will take a lot for me not to like my truck.

We had a good downpour here yesterday, and there were several sections that had 6 or 7" of water built up. Not much at all, but in Texas, that's a lot! So, after the cars got out of the way, I decided to hit the water at 35 mph or so. Water arc'd high and didn't phase the H3 at all. It was fun! I'm sure I got the "Idiot" looks from the cars around, but I just couldn't help myself.
All the little puddles on the side that pulled every car I owned before to the right no longer happens with the H3. It's solid!

I've had H3 for almost 3 months, and it has close to 20000 miles now.. I've driven all kinds of vehicles in the past, and this is the best vehicle I've ever had or seen in my life. After 20000 miles, still no problem at all!!
My Honda and Toyota had some problems, and German vehicles had tons of problems!
H3 is a very well-made car.

I have had almost all of the those problems with my H3. And several are still unresolved. Today I have requested the dealer to disable my TPM system. I am waiting on a permanent roof marker light solution and I continue the back and forth with the squeaks (dealer says fixed, I still hear them, have to prove it, then rinse and repeat).

Bender-
No problems here so far, rides like a Cadillac IMO (I know, bought my wife the 2005 CTS). Maybe you just got the "lemon" of the batch. Truly sorry to hear about all your problems.
