Tomm,
Ouch I never knew the Navigator was that bad on gas mileage eeeekkkk... I don't blame you for wanting something more economical. [&:]

 

I know we've kinda bounced around on the topic here kinda...but I thought I would share this bit of my H3 reliability experience.

Ever since I bought this '07 back in October of '06, the steering shaft and pedal assembly would pop and wobble noisily when the truck would heat up. It usually happened when the truck was going from a start to a stop, vice versa, or any other type of change in the axis of movement is the best way I could ever describe it to the dealer (Sewell in Dallas.)

Well, 5 trips to the dealer, 3 upper intermediate shafts, and one lower intermediate shaft, and 7 months later the problem seems to finally be eliminated. Jay and Byron at Sewell said it seems the lower intermediate shaft was bad and that was causing the other upper shafts to become weak and start to flex. Sounds like they may have been on the money.

I took the 3 in last week for a tire rotation and they mentioned some other folks had come in with similar problems now. If any of you have had the problem, I suggest calling the Hummer national office like I did to report any recurrent issues. They treated me VERY well.

Other than that, I love my ole big black H3. [8D]

 

Godzookie is the best vehicle I have ever had. No problems with 10800+ miles being just over 1 year. I get 17.6 mpg (last time I checked) I use it on road and off road. It am just awed about this truck. I have a few minor things that I will have the dealer look at next servicing (12000 miles). I love my truck and when it is time to get a new truck you can be sure as shlt it will be a hummer...

 

My wife loves mine and wants one too. I'll probably give her mine and get the V8 H3 in a few years..
