this week sucked!   Printable Version Hummer >> Hummer Lineup >> Hummer H3 >> this week sucked! Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> this week sucked! - 5/15/2008 5:52:05 PM    jpac4lyf Posts: 47 Joined: 7/24/2007 Status: offline it's been a little while since I've posted anything but that's because the new Alpha has been a real gem! So all has been quiet. We've had the new H3 since January and in the last week we've had a chirping sound coming from the engine (fix: tightening of pulley pump) and now we took the car back into the dealership today because of a high pitched sound ie. fire alarm ringing, coming from the right side of the engine if you're sitting in the car. I don't know if the pulley pump and the highpitched alarm are related but we left it in the service dept. We now have the truck back and I guess the problem was a "leaking vacuum line of the right valve cover" ... has anyone had this issue? I hope someone finds this post useful in diagnosing a future issue. I'll keep everyone in the loop if this doesn't fix the problem.

Hopefully they did the TSB fix or it will start making the noise again...... _____________________________ 2005 HUMMER H2 SUV SE "Never Give Up!"

Replaced rear trim panel inside, was rattling and warped. New rear brake pads to stop vibration. New steering half shaft. Charged A/C, already! Replaced A/C fan wiring harness, new one is getting hot too, melting and stinking. Rear diff leaking. Replaced rear door check links. Re-torqued front swaybar, was clunking. I'm sure this will go on for a while. The A/C problem worries me, 10K miles and already needs charged?  Something ain't right there!

We have 10K on ours and so far no real issues. _____________________________ 2006 H1 Alpha wagon 2000 H1 Slantback 1997 H1 wagon 2008 H3 Alpha (in reply to RealJeep) Post #: 6 RE: this week sucked! - 5/16/2008 9:22:39 AM    Doc Olds Posts: 3383 Joined: 7/11/2007 From: Boat Town USA (Michigan 48045) Status: offline I had a clicking noise when opening or closing the driver door.  Slowly over time it got worse.  I looked at the hinges, both were fine.  I lubed all four doors, still clicking only on the driver door.  Looked closer, found that the two 10MM nuts [if I remember] attaching the Door check Back (the white metal thing between the upper and lower hinges that holds the door open at half way or all the way...checks it from closing back up!) were extremely loose.  Finger tightening loose?  So I got out a mini socket and tightened the two nuts on each of the check backs for all four doors.  Only the driver door was too loose. The agony!  Took about five whole minutes to figure out and correct, including lube job to all the hinges and check backs.  I think I got a lemon.       (in reply to 3hummers) Post #: 7 RE: this week sucked! - 5/17/2008 7:18:43 AM    Muddydawg75 Posts: 9945 Joined: 3/11/2007 From: South Jersey Shore Status: offline I think the H3 plant needs a better Quality Control division... _____________________________ Graphics by HUMMER DRIVER "I feel sorry for people who don't drink.

Since we haven't had any issues with ours and I read all of these posts I am beginning to think ours isn't a real Hummer. I mean if it was shouldn't we have had to take it to the shop twenty times by now? I haven't even had to deal with a crappy service department or an ignorant service writer yet. I feel cheated because I don't feel like I have had the true Hummer experience that many are posting about. I think I am the one that got the lemon. _____________________________ 2006 H1 Alpha wagon 2000 H1 Slantback 1997 H1 wagon 2008 H3 Alpha (in reply to Doc Olds) Post #: 9 Login OR Register now to post a reply to this forum topic.
