RE: Exactly how many have had HEAD/Valve Problems
ORIGINAL: Jeep
I bought myself a H3 for xmax. I love it to death. More than my girlfriend. ooops /slap/slap. It's so much like my Jeep. The front windshield, steering wheel, just like a bigger more comfortable Jeep. Tuesday put some gas in my H3 drove down the road and at a stoplight it started shaking real bad, splattering my coffee all over the console. I thought maybe I had some bad gas. Went back to a gas station and topped off. My plan was yesterday to drive that tank of gas out and refill with something better. Well I didnt get far before my engine light came on. I pressed the Off-Star button and they told me my engine was misfiring. Please tell me I dont have Head\Valve problem. Im planning on driving to Chicago next week. Could bad gas do this? Maybe bad spark plug? I want a locking gas cap. Maybe some punk kids put something in my tank? lata

No why would you go and do a thing like that? Just get the head replaced and see if you can get an extended warranty on your engine. Even though the head on some H3s has a defect...it's still a very good vehicle.

Hey guys! My check engine light turned off today by itself. It still idles a little rough though. BTW my avatar is an H3 convertible not a Jeep. Dennis how do I PM you? Sorry I love Hummers and I love Jeeps. And that convertible Hummer is pretty cool. I tried to add a bigger picture of the convertible H3 but my dumb computer.... I dont know how to do it the right way either I guess

Jeep, I have heard of this happening. I know someone who is currently waiting for the parts to come in..her light flashed on and then went off and hasn't been on again (she is driving it nearly a month now as she waits for parts)

Some loss of power..depends on how bad the valve is leaking ...
To reitierate the problem that we are faced with:
It is bad or wrong design Valve Seats...that causes loss of compression and misfiring.
As the fix ..GM is replacing the WHOLE HEAD.
