Well, the people that are NOT having the problem are not going to sit here posting about how great their H3 runs, at least probably not most of them, but the ones that ARE having the problem are going to post. I never said I was accurate but think about it, if you are having problems with your car, what are you going to do? Call or go to the dealer. If your car is working great, you aren't going to just randomly call the service department and say "OH hey just wanted to tell you I'm not having any valve problems, everything is great!" Most people are only going to speak up if they ARE having the problem.

Ok this is now an international problem! LOL Was at my dealer here in Vancouver yesterday and casually asked how many they've had. They are apparently up to seven.

I guess there's no way to vote again for the second head/valve issue I had. I voted for my first at 4000ish miles. Second time at 21000 miles.

I think there were one or two other who had it happen a second time?

Just left my 06 at the dealer with 28,000 miles on it. Itwill begetting a new head. I am the first at this dealership and they had no clue there was a problem!! When the service guy called he said there was a misfire on cylinder #2 and I said I know and he said what? I explained to him that my VIN is range of possible head/valve issues and as soon as I got my first check engine light I knew. So now I am after my 100,000 mile warranty!!!!!

Your dealer had to know, they were just playing stupid. Very cool that you knew what to say to them.
