I dunno bud.... The crapbox they gave me is from Enterprise.... and when Trey takes his H3 into his dealer (enterprise) they give him a Caddy....
I can understand them not giving me another hummer.... but let's be honest here... I put more down as a downpayment than a 2008 Kia Optima is worth....

Rental.... not through the dealer.... which I think is crap.... you buy a nice car... and it breaks... and they reward your business with a Kia?
Check engine light = Not warranty. They said it was mud inflicted and not covered. So much for the "We stand behind people that wheel their hummers" They are replacing a vent solenoid something or other. $73
Axle seal = Warranty
Squeeky door panels = they said they have never heard of anyone complaining about them. I said fine. I'll just do it myself.
Power steering/brake issue = "You need new brakes... your rotors are delaminating." What a crock of ****. I've been wrenching for over 20 years and I am insulted that they would tell me something like this.
Here is the best part.... they had to take off the tires to "Inspect" the brakes.... but when it was requested that the tires be rotated.... they said it would be $50.
Not impressed.... and I will be looking for a chat with the service manager soon.
He's FULL OF SH!T!!! I've never met an H2 owner who DOESN'T have SQUEEKY DOOR PANELS!!!

Hey Muddy atleast your girlfriend won't bang the side mirrors on the Kia, as she does with the H2. You should return the Kia coverred in mud, if they ask just tell them you went wheelin'.

Ok.... here is the final story.
Tires rotated free of charge.
Axle seal repaired under warranty
Vent Solenoid = $73
Powersteering issue = I was given a paper Document ID#1851917 which lists the issue and I was told what I reported isn't what this document is about. I guess I'm just stupid because I only drive the truck once a week... and when it didn't do it for 6 months... and then just started doing it.... I guess according to this paper it's normal. I dunno.... The only thing I know I could have is low power steering pressures... and I will seek out to find out that the numbers are and find out myself... if I can replace the power steering flow control valve (P/N 26095470) according to this sheet.
I'm not 100% happy.... but at least that ****ing Kia is not in front of my house anymore....

I also see that they overinflated the tires to fool me.... I keep them at 37.... they jacked them up to 42.... like I wouldn't feel 5psi...

Kia? Ouch. My dealer (Lund in Phx, Hummer/Cadillac/Saab) always puts me in a Caddy through the onsite Enterprise dealer.
$50 tire rotation? When the wheels are already off? Wow, instead of trying to win a customer with a bit of customer service they basically said they are only after today's sale and don't want you as a long-term customer.
