Hi Guys,

I have a 5spd manual 08 H3 with 18K. When accelerating in 4th or 5th, say on an on ramp I get what appears to be a little hesitation or bucking. The power delivery is certainly not smooth. It seems OK in all other gears though. I have no check engine lights on or anything either? Any known issues or things I can check on? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

 

Any feedback on this? Could this just be the normal full time 4wd drivetrain operation? I have driven vehicles with similar arrangements though and never experienced this?

 

My sister just took her 08 H3 automatic for the same reason. The service dept said it was the Cylinder head. They said its common but not so much. Hope that helps. Did you find out what your problem was?
