Low Income Adult with Disabilities.
I managed to Trade Up To My Dream Vehicle of a Hummer H2.
And, this is what I am dealing with; new issues every other day..

2003 HUMMER H2 Needs/Issues:

2 New Front Tires - $600

2 Exhaust Leaks - $800

Upper and Lower Ball Joints & Tie Rod - $600
Steering a Little Loose; Damper? $80?

Daytime Running Lights: short in wire;
only one DRL works; both brand new bulbs.

Rear Wiper Washer Fluid Hose;
- Broke off of Back Door,
- is hanging off of wiper blade.

P0300: Misfire; tuneup needed; at least.
P0430: Catalytic Issue

Passenger side carpet wet after several days of heavy rain
- drain clogged?
- Heater Core leaking?
- Both?

AC Was Ice Cold; now both sides hot.
Blend door actuator?
drivers side and passenger side temp controls
recirculation control?

Passenger Side Front Door Rubs;

- chipping paint

(latest issue)
Key Fob - brand new battery - won't lock rear or back doors
Drivers door lock/unlock button - won't lock rear or back doors
Rear door - won't lock at all

AND, THAT IS NOT INCLUDING THE COSMETIC ISSUES:
dents, scratches, rust, missing fog lights, bad plastic bumper,
other plastic parts need to be replaced, inside door panels need parts or replacing.

 

My ONLY Blessing, thus far, is that my H2 starts up Nice and Smooth Every Day; no overheating; so, to SOME degree, it IS reliable enough to get me from point A to point B. But, I barely have food; so, I have a go fund me page to help me get my H2 fixed.

You need to sell it and buy a used Buick for $3000 If you don't have money for food you have no business begging for money to repair a impracticable vehicle you can't afford.

 

This is guy for real?
Can't afford food, has time to dawdle on the forums asking for a handout, all the while, spending precious money on internet.

 

Yeah, forgive me for having a dream, going after it, and getting it. I thought for sure there'd be a few low life's with 'sell your car' opinions...and, I was right. yeah, I'm sorry' poor people can't have dreams.

 

Maybe downgrade to an h3

 

unfortunately, the wrong place to come to beg for a handout. we have worked hard like everyone else to get our dream vehicle- we can also afford to own them.

if not, sell it :/ youll be able to get another one when you can afford it. just think, 15k would be perfect for doing a lot of things with.

Im also looking for some help, my college loans are quite expensive and id love to have some help with them.

It's not an issue of "poor people having dreams". You misunderstand. When I have an income of $1500 a month I don't go out and buy a $60,000 car. Although the car is reliable it will be unaffordable when it comes time to fix it. A porsche is one of the best built and most reliable engines in the industry BUT......it cost upwards of 60k for an engine rebuild. SO...back to California Phils opinion. BUY A $3,000 BUICK you dumb****.

 

LOL! $0 of $50k.
No handouts here. But there are plenty of threads to fix your issues.
I say sell your h2 and stop making stupid decisions.

Cat castles? Vehicle wrap to promote them? Uhh no.

 

LMAO...it's not a 60K vehicle....it's not even a 15k vehicle....the H2's in my area are selling for about 7-10k....the other H2's, are higher priced, and have been for sale for a long time...

Even if I did sell my dream vehicle, and bought a $3000 buick, the buick could still have all of those same issues, and more...and, I'd not be driving my dream vehicle.

I am also not, 'begging' you for anything. if you care to help, you'll help. If you care to criticize, you will do just that; which, you have.

Thanks for your support; I will keep my dream vehicle; and, little by little, it will get fixed. And, I may be on social security, I may struggle financially; but, at least I will have my dream vehicle. It's not an Aston-Martin, it's not a Rolls-Royce; it's an H2.
