Sinking of the Titanic

[Captain of the Titanic]

Hi, I am new to this forum. I am an owner of a 06 victory red adventure series. As a fossil hunter who uses the off road capabilities of the H3, I have been pleasantly surprise by the H3's performance off-road. I previously drove a Tahoe with every upgrade known to man kind knick named "The Beast" but got tired of 9 miles per gallon and bought the H3.

Currently, however, my H3 is in the shop and will be for quite some time. Seems the H3 is NOT AT ALL water-tight, and with the lousy stock tires on it, I managed to get in a little mud, and it slid sideways into a farm pond. 1 inch of water on the left side, 30 inches of water on the right, and an interior full of water.

When the water hit the interior, all h*ll broke loose. The on-star shut down, the doors locked and the window controls shut down. If I didn't have the door already open at this point, I'd have been locked in.

Second, when trying to get the truck to the dealership, on-star basically told me "We don't support your type. Only those people who stay on the road".

In the end, the dealership (Frank Kent in Ft. Worth, TX) went above and beyond the call of duty by towing my truck in using a new H2.

I did not expect this type of experience. I assumed that the Hummer would be as water-tight as my previous Tahoe. I expected On-Star to understand that at least a good portion of H3 owners are not "Getting their girl On"...

I'm still happy with my decision, but I foresee some serious modifications to the truck soon. Starting with Procomp Xterrain tires and some additional seals in the doors...

Has anyone else had any experiences like this?
