My official count is 10 since October, 2005.

Two of them have been broken differntial bushings.

Three were the broken differential bushing which didn't get fixed because I got the old "We can't reproduce the problem"

One was a bad pully and belt which was replaced.

One was the half-shaft replacement.

One was a bad/leaky CV Boot (that was only a few months after I bought it. Good thing I check for stuff like that).

One was an electrical short on the fuse box (the day after I bought it)

One was the rear wiper sprayer motor died and needed replacement.

There were a few other odd's and end's combined with the above, like the transfer case leaking fluid, the plastic roofliners (those had to be replaced a few times because of shrinking/cracking), Oh, and the last one had broken steering box bushings as well.

There was also a small incident where the service guy accidentally grinded a small area of my bumper away, that had to be repainted

I think there were a couple of other odds and ends as well.

Oh yeah, and 8 car rentals out of those 10.

And to think, I only went off-roading once (well, the second time we couldn't fit our H3's through the trails, but supposedly they were Hummer-friendly, so we had to leave [:@])

And then you guys wonder why I'm so aggrivated

 

I think you have suffered far more than anyone else I know. Bar truck, bad dealer, or combination of both. We have had the H3 Alpha in for an oil change. ( 6k on this one ) The H1 Alpha had to have the rear e-locker replaced and a shim kit put on the driveline to eliminate an irritating bump upon acceleration. Outside of that no issues ( 19K ) The 97 wagon is out of warranty and likes to go to the Hummer spa a little more often.

 

once - belt squeak

 

Once for an oil change

 

1 - bad battery (okay, they came to me since it happened on Day #2)
2 - bad headlight wiring, no highbeam
3 - bad turn signal wiring, broken when fixing headlight wiring
4 - 1st fix on steering shaft issue (we know fix #1 didn't work)
5 - broken u-joint, also replaced crossmember. Loose/rattling rear door.
6 - 2nd and final fix on steering shaft issue
7 - roof rail fix
8 - knocking sound underneath, low speeds, cool/cold air. Unable to diagnose.

Self-inflicted
1 - bent front propshaft (bought part at Hummer dealer, Chevy dealer installed. Long story)
2 - blew out tire on the trail (didn't replace at dealer)

ALOT.Andfor all of the pain.There is only one thing to do.[sm=forgetit.gif]

 

I'm trying believe me

 

Only once, and that was to get my windshield done over again.

 

I think you said in another thread that your H3 is coming off of lease soon. You definitely got one of the early build ones and have had a lot of problems no one else has had. And you seem to like the H3, just not yours . Turn it in at the end of the lease and get a new one. They are awesome you know that, but yours, uh, hasn't been so friendly.
