Mine goes in tomorrow for the repair. Service said they were aware of it and had a lot in and waiting to be serviced. Told me they will fix it but can't guarantee how long it will last at this point. It could be six months it could be over a year they just don't know. Did say GM was in process of making new part to replace them all but didn't have an E.T.A. on when that will happen.
Did anyone have any issues with getting an H3 as a loaner? They told me they couldn't guarantee me getting one they just don't have that many on the lot?

if you're talking about sewell, then no they cant guarantee an h3 loaner. ive been driving a sh!ta$$ chevy equinox for 2 weeks now. given, its for a different reason and its free, but no h3 loaner. i really wouldnt waste the time of getting the old replacement. it'll still rattle. but, good luck.

Yes it's Sewell, I ended up speaking with the Service Manager who apologized for my salesman telling me wrong.
He offered a Chev Equinox but I'll be sure to pass that one up... He said for my troubles I could pick out any car on the lot but we'll see... the only time I have good service it seems it when I go thru the Manager...

I purchased my H3 at, DeMontrond Hummer on I-45 North. Both servive advisors are well aware of the problem. In fact, if you just mention it over the phone, they would know exactly what you're reffering to. Their words to me; "we would be calling you as soon as the new re-designed part is delivered to us, or whatever means Hummer comes out with in order to take care of the problem". I had an H3 -06' w/17,800 miles, no problems at all, except some condensation in one of the head lights(the headlight was replaced at no cost to me). Now, my H3 07' model began with the ratle problem at, 700 miles. As I mentioned on my previous post, this ratle problem is terrible. Hummer has no choice but to take care of everyone who's suffering with this problem. I take it very personal, like a lower back pain, like running out of propane gas while grilling a nice steak, or maybe like not being able to buy any more beer past the seventh, at Minute Maid Park when the Astros are playing for more than five hours on an even score. Anyway, I love this forum, as well as the good folks that exhibit their best intentions to provide assistance to other H3 owners. Now, I will release every single piece of information as soon as I get it...............
Note: By now all Hummer dealerships in the US should be more than aware of this terrible ratle problem. There is nothing to hide..........The main issues are; how soon can the problem be fixed, or how long can we go on with it !

Dennis, Ok I had to go check out the Pewter color on the Hummer site, I like that especially up against the tinted windows.
Hubby says he likes Slate Blue, this one will be his so he gets to choose color. He agreed though he DOES NOT want Black (it looks awesome only if someone else's) one too hot here in Texas and like you said too darn hard to keep it clean.

WHAT A HORRIBLE NOISE!
We went off-roading this weekend and I started getting it too, the BAD one, not the mild looseness I had before. It only seems to happen when I'm turning. It sounds like somethings just popping out and smacking your chasis. Mike is checking today to see if they have a part for it yet. It's happened to me about 3 or 4 times since Sunday afternoon. Every time it happens I think I ran over something or my CV joint popped. I feel bad for you guys that have this problem right off the lot. I definitely would feel anxiety over keeping the truck as well. Believe me, this is not normal.
