So, what is this now, my 10th time maybe? lol. I can't help but just laugh it off these days.

Today, it's to get the infamous loose/rattling half-shaft replaced, my possibly leaky intake manifold which keeps turning my Check Engine light (MAP, not MAF, Sensor trigger) on every other day, an alignment (42k miles so far), and whatever else breaks on the way to the dealer.

I keep saying, I love my truck, I love my truck, I love my truck, but lately, it's starting to not work as well

Do you have a personalized parking spot near the service department?

I'm pretty much buddy-buddy with the Enterprise Rent a Car dude at the Hummer dealership as I get my loaners. And I'm only at 10K miles.

Maybe your H2 is a lemon because youve been so many times to the dealership and something else pops up. Don't be offended by calling your car a lemon, but one of my friend's cars had the same problem(he had a chevrolet avalanche) and it kept breaking once a month and he had to trade it in at 12,000 miles.

HAR HAR Mr. Bling

No, I don't have a personalized parking space (but I should), Enterprise says I have a good history already

, and I don't take offense to it being called a lemon. I just bought something I use ALOT and becaues of that find more bugs then most. I already have 42k miles which is more then most people with a H3.

A TSB finally came out for the MAP sensor problem, and it says to clean the throttle body and intake manifold. That was done and hopefully will solve the problem. I was going to do this myself but decided to just let them do it. The MAP sensor itself is fine, and was replaced originally.

I don't know if the shaft replacement fixed any looseness or noises until I pick it up later. I'll let you all know. It looks like for most it has solved the problem.

See, that closing sentence is how to jinx yourself

When you pick it up, ask them to personalize a spot for you cuz you will be back again and again until they fix the gdamn thing right!!!!

or not

Don't get me wrong, these guys are awesome. They fix everything without a hitch, but most of these problems are always different, except the MAP which the TSB just came out for after the first time I brought it in.

I'll suggest they just reserve a loaner in my name so it's always ready for me
