thanks alrock... I'll honk next time I see you on the streets of Scottsdale (already seen your Hummah plates once). I'll keep you updated with how Kachina handles it too.

 

That is in fact the new part #, so hopefully you're good to go. Sorry to hear you were w/o the H3 for that long, but at least you got the new fix.
Still waiting for my dealer in VB to get the new shafts in. I'm hatin' the waitin'. I'm rattling like a voodoo witch doctor's bone necklace.

Cher- I see that you're in Dumfries. I'm orig from MD, and back in my club touring days, I used to frequently play a club in Dumfries called Tiki Fala. Don't know if it's still there, but it was one of the strangest clubs I ever played. And when you club tour in rock bands, you see some pretty strange places.
If memory serves properly (which it sometimes doesn't- these were band touring days after all), we'd take the Dumfries exit off 95, right/south on Rt 1, right at the split onto main, and it was almost immediately on the left.
It was sort of half asian restaurant and half rock club. It was the only rock club I'd been in where, when you ordered a gin and tonic, it was served with a little colored paper umbrella. Weird.
They did have some kick-*** spring rolls though!

 

My dealer ordered the replacement part last Saturday. Hopefully, It's the new one.

 

my dealer called me today to schedulethe replacement w/ the redesign, which isset up forthis friday AM. seeing asTX is always hot, i should know if its fixedas soon as i get it back. i'll post an update as soon as i can.

let's hope this does the trick, so we all have something to look forward to.

[X(] You guys are verly lucky, my dealership in Houston, Tx is 30 days out waiting for the so called second desing after the first design according to them failed. Yeah right ! I swear the rattle is gotten so bad now that it feels I have a Gremlin under the hood banging on an empty coke can. I only drive my H3 when I really have to..............Only because of GM's poor handling of this situation, this may well be my last GM product. They simply cannot handle issues in mass quantitties they way others do. "poor to no communication at all." We, the H3 owners had to become the researchers, the complainers and rain makers.

 

Has anyone experienced the rattling in the 08 or heard of any? Not the Alpha, just the base/adv/lux?

 

has anyone gotten the fix? please let us know if they have so we know if the "modified" part actually works.

 

I'm taking it in on Monday to get it done, WITH the new part, but on mine, the problem isn't as frequent, but it still there.

 

Ok, here goes. I got my H3 repaired with the new part last Friday. I have been waiting to fill the forum in on the results because I thought it might jinx it. Anyway, I am happy to report that so far everything is fine. No more issue. I have not been on any long trips and the weather has been a little cooler but I think it is fixed. I have a 4 hour round trip coming this weekend so I will report if anything comes up.

 

Yea thanks for the info....My dealership ordered the part for me this week so hopefully soon have it fix...PLEASE keep us posted...Thanks Chris
