I believe if you read your warranty you will find that you get free towing to the dealer for warranty repairs while it is under warranty,with or without OnStar.

ORIGINAL: Doc Olds
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?"
Doc, If you drive off the road, crash into a tree and get knocked unconcious in a deselate area, head on collision, etc., you aren't going to be walking anywhere buddy. OnStar automatically calls the service when your airbags deploy, or the vehicle flips. If you don't respond, they use the GPS tracking to send help. For $12.95 a month, that's worth it to me. If you call to cancel, they will offer you a 1-year discounted plan with the same features for $12.95 a month. As much as I drive (40k miles in less then 2 years) that's something I consider worth the pocket change I collect every month. I'm not trying to bust yer balls or anything, but to me, that feature alone is worth it. All of my cars will have it going forward.
Also, the computer is pre-programmed to detect eratic driving. If there is certain triggers that go off in your vehicle's computer/pcm, you will get a call from them asking if everything is OK. Anybody that says that feature doesn't work is on crack. My wife and I were driving the H3 about a year ago and I had to swerve out of the way of some freakin dumbshit that almost nailed me head-on. I almost flipped the truck. Luckily I was smart enough to not oversteer back into the street and go into the dirt and grass. 10 seconds later, they called to ask if we were ok. I must have triggered the roll-over sensor or something. THAT is a true story. That's when we decided we aren't going to get rid of it.
I just called to cancel because I heard the rumor they would drop the rate. Well, it worked 
Also, keep in mind, the H3/H2 has an antenna for the service that is ten times more powerful then a cell phone. It worked in the middle of nowhere for us when we couldn't get a signal. They told us this when we signed up, but didn't realize it until we actually needed it.

Hey, this was a thread about H3 stalling. What are u guys, GM Onstar reps lookin to make a commission. I said "I don't need no stinking onstar!" You likey ostar, you can be happy too........pay the General. $13.00 x 12mos.= $156.00yr>>>>>BEER $$ PCM $$ CAI $$ WINCH --whatever. Jbnjc123 made the point a long way back. The summer of 1976 while wheelin up behind Taylor Lake (Gunnison to Tin Cup Colorado country) when I stuck the 1970 K5 Blazer...........it was a LONG WALK out of there. I get it. I'm in Michigan now, in the Lower a long walk would be 4-5 miles tops. Stroll in the park.
I can picture you guys stuck in the woods pushing that ostar button every 15 mins. looking for a rescue chopper. Depending on where you're at, they could send Granny with the Bronco II and an american flag on the antenna and a doggy cable to save the day. I'll walk to the nearest Hummer Forum member's house and you guys can help me unstick.
I didn't even get into the "Big Brother" aspect of the whole ostar we know where you are thing.  So hug yer onstar button b4 you go to bed every night.
ANYONE ELSE EVER HAVE AN H3 STALLING ISSUE??????????

Hey Doc; we can't help but go off-topic. It is our way Dennis already gave up on trying to stop it.
Everybody has a unique situation. I'm just stating my personal experiences and opinions. If I didn't drive as much and didn't live in the boonies, I probably wouldn't have it, but I do, and unfortunately, most of the streets are pitch black and night, and these city people moving into the area can't drive for #@@% at night around there. Hence, the near-miss situation.
And as far as the Big-Brother thing? Hell yeah, we ALL have talked about that before on here. I don't like it at all to be honest, BUT, if I'm not doing anything wrong, I have no reason to worry, is how I think. That doesn't make it right, that's just how I feel. When you were stuck in '76 (ha, the year I was born), were you alone or with your wife/gf? Did you have to leave them all by themselves while you searched for help? That's how I justify it in my case. I'll do what I have to do to survive, but I won't leave someone behind. Yes, I'd rather press a button and have someone come to my rescue. It's worth the $13.00 a month to me. I'm not no pansy either, I can take care of myself in a bad situation and am not afraid of much.
I like your chopper reference though. I almost spit my food out when I read it lol JUST so you know, I wasn't trying to convince you of anything, just stating how I felt in my personal situation. Some people on here WILL try to convince you THEIR way is the best and ONLY way (ImportKiller and Shortbus) Dennis, myself and some others are a little more, uh, open-minded

I was a dumb kid, in over my head with the tires I had.....like 7" wide bias ply with a snow tread. WOW the tires they got now could make yer head spin. My two uncles (one is 7 yrs, the other 8yrs older than me) we all walked. Boy did I get an ear full of bitchen!!! Got grandand's Ford PU next morning, drove over to a friend that had a 50s somethin Dodge Weapons Carrier with a winch, couple chain saws, a mile of chain. Took all of us hours to get that K5 out. Good truck, had the top off most of the summer, bad tires. Grandad never said a word, just chuckled and shook his head the whole time. I learned my lesson, didn't get stuck again the rest of that week . Now that we have digressed again............
any H3 Stalling issues?

I've had it happen a couple of times, but under severe humidity conditions, which I'm sure played a factor. I had a major low-idle problem with the H3 for 6 months that I posted about numerous times. That was fixed though, but this was unrelated because it happened after the fix.
I'll tell you what though, the engine performs SO much more reliably with that PCM tune. It throttles down so much faster, and I don't have eratic idle problems in bad weather like I did before.
HummerMike said the guys at the service department were joking around this week saying "You have the only stick in the midwest" which very well maybe true lol. Apparently to this day I may very well be the only manual tranny H3 they have ever seen lol. Hell, even the White Castle manager who was lurking around outside the other day said "Is that a stick?" and was shocked lol.
I get that reaction ALOT. BUT, back to the stalling.............

SMOOTH! Just add a Milt Sparks holster and (like a visa) never leave home without it. Sigs are pricey, but well worth it. Used to shoot in a bowling pin league, used the old S&W 29 and speed loaders, the kids with the hot rod race guns used to get a KICK out of that. Anybody's H3 stalling........?
