Just keep in mind, all of these problems you guys are experiencing are NOT normal. Most of us have had flawless H3's. There is a anti-lemon law out there. I would definitely investigate it. There are always going to be lemons in a batch of cars. Unfortunately, someone out there inevitably will get stuck with one. It's unfortunate you guys seems to be the ones, but all you can do is hope your dealers are understanding and willing to work with you. As we have all heard stories on here, some dealers can be real dikheads (excuse me ). I am very grateful the 3 I go to are all great as far as customer service (Weil Hummer, Naperville Hummer, and Schepel Hummer).

Now, knowing what I know NOW, that I have mentioned this loose drive shaft the last 3 times and have been told it was normal, I may revisit my whole issue where my manual transmission/clutch is very rough while driving at low RPMS when accelerating and decelerating, even though it used to be smooth and is marketted as a smooth-shifting manual tranny. That's another issue. Hopefully after finding this one, they'll magically "find" my issue.

It's unfortunate that you have to suffer until it's discovered there is a problem.

So what is this nav system you guys are talking about? Is that the official H3 navigation system they install from the dealer? Why does it require a second battery? I have my Tom Tom Go 300 hardwired into the H3 where it comes on and off with the ignition and I never have a problem with battery drainage.

 

I wouldn't go so far as to say that the problems I have would warrant investigating an anti-lemmon law by any stretch of the imagination. My problems have been pretty minor compared to others, and are in line with problems that people have with any new car, any make, and model. And I don't think that I have a "bad apple" either, but I would say that I have had more issues with a brand new car than I would like to have had.

Fortunately for me,my dealer has been AWESOME.I cannot even think of anything they could do more for methan what they have already done. That has been a HUGE relief, and help.

Got it back yesterday, and probably put 200 miles on it in 24 hrs.. Working great!

About the Inilex, its a Nav system underneath the car that is, as far as I know, an add-on youcan pay for (GPS Navigation $1695on the window sticker as anadd-on option), but my dealer threw it in for free.It runs on it's own separate battery since it's an always on live system, even when the car is off so it will not drain the main battery, as in my case before (the upgraded version has a new type of battery of it's own). All it really does is allow you to track yourvehicle, locate it, follow it, setup a geo-fence, MPH restrictions, when it starts, when the unit is disconnected, etc..etc.. I log into their website, you can check it out at (www.inilex.com) and do it all from there. If any triggers you setup are set-offit willalert you on your cell and email you. I'm not sure what the criteria isfor what vehicles it's on, what dealers use it, and how's its distributed. I talked to my step-father who is the service mgr. at Indy Hummer and hehas never heard of it, so I don't know if it's a west coast thing, or what. I knowsome dealers use it for lotmanagement.

Cheers. Have agreat weekend.

 

hi - my h3 just ht 1600 miles and it was 100 deg today and I did a lot of driving this weekdn.thought it was the brks at first becuse of the city stop and go traffic but then the noise was just like you described. I have to take to dealer becasue my serv tmp went on 3 times and I cked tire pressure i hve 43 psi.. factory wheeels i think 43 psi is high??? on the insde of my door i thnk it was 35 psi?


how do I or what do I tel the dealer for the noise probelm...? if i cant get to dealer this week will i be oky?

 

I thought you had overheating problems..

 

sgt940--if you think you have the same problem then point your dealer to this topic in the forum. If you read through this thread it looks like dealers aren't going to have a solution until mid to late July. I've been running with this problem for over two months and 6000 miles and am waiting for the dealer to be ready to address it. As to tire pressure, you'll get a much quicker answer on the inside of your door panel, like you said, than waiting for us to get you an answer.

I have to say your posts are a bit hard to read because of the spelling. Google's toolbar has a spell check that can help you with spelling. You don't have to be an ace at spelling but it would certainly make your posts easier to understand--and you'll get better replies for it.

 

same problem here. noticed it after free wash at sewell this weekend. its going in today for the trailer hitch install and they are going to look at this too

 

When you say Indy Hummer, do you mean a dealership in Indiana or is that just the name of it? Just curious since I'm not far from Indiana.

 

The Hummer dealership I do business with (Houston, Tx) is well aware of this particular problem. I'm now officially on a waiting list for a part replacement/problem correction, etc. I also have to add that the ratle noise/feeling on the pedals is a real pain in the *(&(^^6. Waiting for a resolution of the problem is painful .....I still however, LOVE my 07' H3 .......

 

Indy Hummer, as in Lockhart Hummer in Indianapolis, IN. http://www.lockharthummer.com

 

Ah ok. The Badlands off-road park we are going to on August 4th isn't too far away from Indianapolis.
