I can't even spell words correctly when I'm this upset. New H3, actually my second one in less than two years and I'm about to blow a gasket..........With the heat index in Houston, Tx., today the rattle/clunk noise was loud enough to dance the "Macarena."

Add me to the list. New to the forum, wish I was posting under better circumstances. I have less than 3000 miles on mine and this problem started a few weeks a go. It has been around 100 degrees here in my part of the world and my H3 is doing this everytime I drive more that 5 miles. Bottom line, does anyone know of someone who had had a repair done that fix the problem. Thanks for all the help, at least I now have somewhere to vent.

ORIGINAL: gericoshep
The front body mounts.......that is interesting and makes more sense to me than the steering shaft. Seems to me if if were the steering shaft that you would feel something through the steering wheel, which I do not feel.
I'm feeling itlike crazy in the steering wheel. That's where I actually feel it the most, much more so than in the pedals.
You're either exp a different issue, or yours is not as prominenet in the steering wheel- which would seem odd.

I just returned from a trip to MD. It's approx 4-5 hrs each way, dep on traffic, etc., to where Iwas visiting. The clunking was horrendous both ways as it's continued to be very hot here in the mid-atl areas. It's just so disappointing to have a vehicle you otherwise love and want to enjoy driving, and really not be enjoying it at all. Especially on a long drive. For me, it's blowing the whole experience of owning a vehicle like this.

UPDATE:

Ok guys, I literally just got off the phone w/ a service mgr at Sewell of Plano. I'm posting this in the middle of my work day b/c its that important . They called me to tell me that the new part number is IN. They've already received/replaced 2 of them, which is all they have/had right now. He said the part is on back order and to call in a week or two as they should have enough by then. I did NOT get the part #, so I'm sorry for those of you that like to check the particulars out. I know this seems to be conflicting from what others have heard, but that's straight from the horses mouth down here in Dallas. Hope this helps!

Keep on rattlin'!

no problem, chris. i just hope sewell has their crap together and actually do have the new redesign. i'd hate to convey a wrong message. anyways, that rattle has really gotten worse sense the 100 degree heat that's hit out here. the ride gets so screwed up by that damn thumping. good thing its a monster when off-road .

good luck and let us know what they tell you!

Add me to the list! Had it for 2 months now! Anderson Hummer in Hunt Valley, Md. says their on "backorder". It will be about a 2 month freakin wait! I cant stand driving it like this. I wish GM would hurry their azz up. First it was a bad fuel injector , now the rattles, also my paint on the top of the rear door is fading bad. I only have 6k miles on her!

The dealer I just talked to said call back in 30 day and they might have an answer. Next he said it most likely would be more like 3 or 4 months until a fix is ready. I do not even want to drive my H3 like this now.

Has anyone experienced this in the 08's, or just 06-07?
