I was going up a very steep road the other day and my H3 just stalled. Was this something I did or is this out of the norm? I looked in the manual and was unable to find anything about this or maybe just overlooked that section. What should I do or know for the future?

My 07 stalled ONE time. After sitting all day while I was at work, went to go home, it fired up as usual and about a 2 seconds later it quit. It took about 10 seconds of cranking to restart. It was just a regular day, not freezing cold or anything???? NEVER happened again. If it does, I will bo going to the dealer for a look see, and I would suggest the same for you. Thanks Importkiller, I am sure Adventureguy just got your message by wireless, and restarted!

Adventureguy, Importkiller made a good point. If you have onstar (new vehicle or numbnuts subscriber) run the diagnostic check and see what's up, if anything. Post back if you find something. Always remember to wash your hands after you PISS ON JAP CRAP!

Not sure if you know but the Onstar phone is like 10X stronger than any hand held cell phone ever made. Even the bag phone wasn't this strong. Onstar is very valuable incase you are out in the boonies and your cell doesn't work. I think the 200 or whatever it is a year is well worth the peace of mind. My H3 seems to stall (spit and sputter) anytime I come to a quick stop. Has done it since new but has never died. Don't know what it could be but until something happens I guess I just have to wait. Adventureguy is yours a 06 or an 07? Auto or stick?

I have been offroading in places that make the boonies look like the Walmart parking lot 25 years plus before there were any cell phones, or onstar. For those of you who can't find yer car when you come out of the grocery store, thank god technology has advanced to assist you. If I'm stupid enough to get burried without other vehicles on hand, and believe me, I am, and there is no cell service, I can go retro. WALK OUT. I'm mature now, more careful, but can still walk. I don't need no stinking onstar. If others like it, Bravo. Please enjoy. $200.00 is good beer money, and onstar ain't buyin. I feel better. Good post jbnjc123, "Adventureguy is yours a 06 or an 07? Auto or stick?"

I live in Wyoming and just about everywhere is the boonies. So someone like me likes the extra security that onstar provides. It isn't for everyone but my wife is the primary driver on the H3 so the onstar is a must for me.

I let my BlondeStar expire because for me I could be 20 minutes outside of town and have no cell phone signal, nor have OnStar service either. In the case of an accident in the woods while wheeling, if you don't have voice capabilities, you still have GPS, so if you push the red button they will still send help. The drawback is, if you are on a road that has been put in after the last map was made, and there are many of them, it could take them a long damn time to find you, and by the time they do, your emergency (i.e you)could have expired by then negating any benifit of the system. I don't drink beer, but $200 would buy another off road trip or two for me each year.

Let's just say, never take Macro economics and Macro economics at the same time- over an abbreviated summer term. It is as simple as supply and demand. Their supply of information is greater than my demand, or their demand for my full mental attention is greater than my supply. Their elasticity of supply is greater than 1.0, and my elasticity of understanding is significantly less than 1.0. Either way, I have a shortage of brain capacity and am currently running a deficit, and will be running a debt in the long run. They, however, seem to have an endless surplus of knowledge. Unfortuneately there wont be any seller v. seller price wars or buyer v. buyer auctions to find an equalibirum price between my brain capacity shortage and thier surplus of knowledge. I guess in short, I need to study more, and pay closer attention in class and maybe I won't get too poor of a grade. Actually, I have an A average in one class, and a B+ average in the other.  Thanks for asking though.

i tow for cross country and they are the provider that onstar uses. if ya have onstar and need a tow/boost off/gas/flat tire or a winch out ya push the button and tell them what ya need and they call a wrecker to help ya out for FREE to the customer..... say ur 100 miles from the nearest dealer ..u get towed to there for free normal charge or what we charge onstar is $2.00 a mile enroute, $25 hook up fee and $2.25 per mile towing after 10 free miles. so say ur 25 miles from me that $50 (enroute)+$25(hookup) then $202.50 (towing) = 277.50 ya saved in a towing bill so yes onstar is worth the $200 a year i have it on my H3 and i own 5 tow trucks its like piece on mind even when ur our of town knowing ya got help for free at a touch of a button
