After getting a "official H3 mechanic" to run a code check and diagonisis, my service rep is saying it came back that I had a bad coil pack. He said they should be able to have it the part in, replaced, and I can get the H3 back by tomorrow late AM/noon.
We just had this issue as well. Got the "miss" in the engine. Started off maybe feeling it happen once while at idle at a stoplight. Within a couple of days it would do it several times in a matter of a few minutes. Symptoms sounded much like the head issue, and I assumed it was. But, I kept mum, and let the dealership do their thing. They found the bad coil pack (I belive it was the number 5 coil) and replaced it. It also presented with no check engine lights or anything like that. I would think an electrical issue would certainly trigger a light, but it appears that's not the case here. Had it back a few days with no issues so far.
We had also developed the exhuast shroud vibration, and the missing/loose bolts were confirmed (at my urging to look, when they said they could find nothing wrong, but did hear it too). So that rattle is gone.
My wife was also always complaining that AC was cycling all the time. She had it in for it once and they could not find anything wrong. AC worked fine, but sh says it sycle non stop. When she had the loaner H3, she noticed it didn't do it. So, we had them check it again while it was in. While we were driving this loaner H3, it too didn't seem to cycle as often as ours does. I even noticed it this time. So, dealer evaced the AC system, and recharged it. So far it seems that it is a lot better. Not nearly as much cycling as before.
Wife is happy.. LOL (she was afraid it fianlly crap out, out of warranty)
06 H3 we bought new in July/Aug of 06, 24,000 miles and only a few minors issues so far. Other than some minor issues, we're still happy with it.
