I just got my H3 back after being in the shop for 30 days. A cylinder head was found to be defective, allowing air in and causing a misfire in one of my cylinders. I now have a lawyer invoved. All GM keeps saying is "we're sorry for any inconvience". I dont have the same confidence in this vehicle that I once had...

That black plastic is non-functional... It covers the rain gutter and roof mount tracks to keep crap out... Mine are fine by me but they make stainless ones for those that need them... The windows are small... Hard to see out of and also hard to get thrown out of in a crash... My girlfriend’s car has a picture window for a windshield but oddly it doesn't make me feel too safe thinking about all that could come in or me going out... The H3 is not for everyone but then again, neither is a Ferrari...

Originally when I got the car (H3) I had two problems, the wipers were crap and sunroof was rattling when half to 2/3 open (also a minor scratch) The first time car was in shop they replaced the wipers and ordered a new sunroof. The wipers still only smudge the water and not wipe it. Second time they replaced the sunroof and painted the scratch. This was the most imcompetent work I have ever seen done to car in my life. They did not even bother to check the wipers again and the painting was done so that you can still see the white underneath, I could have done better. In addition they didnt even touch another chip that I noticed few inches away that was covered by grease. They replaced the sunroof but, they left 5 big lips (rubber bent) on the interior sunroof seal, in addition the seal on one side was completely off its raliling just hanging there in the air bent about 1/2 inch. On top you can easily notice that sunroof in front is about 2 inches above the roof line, on the back about even with roof line. In one corner it is almost underneath it, making for a lot of wind noise when I drive. The sunroof seal is off the sunroof in another place. It seems also that they broke my seatbelt bracket as it rattles terrible when I drive, I noticed it came all lose, probably someone stepped on it. When I was there I asked a guy to show me how to install the ski rack as instruction were a little incomplete, instead of pulling the rubber out the roof rack out the side, he pulled it straight up causing it to disform a little, then he spent about a minute trying to force it back into place trying to tell me this is how they do it...... I also asked the guy in service to check on the engine, usually in the morning when I go to work when its first cold (even though I warm up the car) it seems unable to shif into 4th gear at 60mph like it does later in the day, no matter how fast I go it will driver for about 30 seconds till it does and RPMS adjust. Then almost every time after a while of driving, when stopped at lights or so, the engine seem to choke once, and no more. It's as if it was losing gas supply for a split second and goes back to normal. I dont anyone even paid attention to what I said.
I have already told them next time I am contacting GM but I see they do not help much either..... what should I do after all this crap I am going through? In general I am very happy with the car if everything was as it should be !

Thanks Dilo,
I will see what happens after I take my car in this week, If I continue to experience problems I will take it up with GM, if they do not help me I will file a complaint with BBB like you suggested. I just printed the rules for NJ Lemon Law and going to read up on it. Thanks again for the help.

I had a squeek on the front end of mine. It was typical of the sound a front suspension makes when the bushings need grease. After inspection, I learned that the front suspension has no provisions or grease fittings. No too crazy about that.

Anyway, I discovered that the noise was coming from the hood latch assembly. I applied a bit of grease to the latch and the hook on the hood, and the problem was solved.

I also agree on the wipers...replaced mine yesterday.

Another dealer from NYC called as I previously enquired about the purchase..... I told him about my problems and he said that they have not had these problems but that I should bring all this up and they will have to fix it.... he told if they don't document it all and call GM to make it right, he himself said GM is on the run right now and should be easy to make them fix it !! But now you guys say GM is a pain, so we will see :)

I am fairly new to this site and first time post. I purchased my H3 at Kachina Hummer in Scottsdale in Oct 05. Easy sale and great deals!
Two weeks later however the driver side door started making alot of noise when you open and close it. Took it back to dealer and they new immediately
what it was. The service guy told me it's the door check which stops the door from flinging back and forth. He said it is no problem part would be ready in
three days. Kind of scary on such a new vehicle that they new this problem almost before I even walked in. Weeks went by and numerous calls back and forth
went no where. They kept telling me the part is on back order...What a crock. New vehicle like this and they have no parts. By this time my door I think is about
to fall off. Its getting worse and worse. After speaking to supervisor after supervisor I told them if they dont fix this they are going to owe me not only a new door
but possibly a new vehicle. After that call the part was miraculously available and ready to install. I also had them install a tire cover which they scratched the back
door trying to put it on. Didn't see that one until the next day. I'll let that one go. And lastly to add insult to injury, the dealer was offering me a 500.00 GM gas card.
I have been waiting since Oct 05 for this card. Has never shown up. Tried to contact GM and they say they don't have my VIN information and to go back to the dealer.
Waiting to hear from them of course. Not a very good start to this one. I am having my oil change on Monday by the Tucson Hummer dealer. Hopefully no more drama.

Oil change went fine..$50 bucks at the dealer. Thought that was a little pricey. The earlier post about the H3 having cracks on the driver side roof area is true. The service tech guy at the dealer actually told me about mine and showed it to me. It is very very tiny. He said mine was the smallest he had seen so far. He also said Hummer is aware of it and that there was a memo sent to the dealers about a month ago saying not to do anything with them right now as they are working on a fix and when it is redesigned then a recall will go out to have the damage replaced.
