Talking What problems have you had with your H3???

So far we have had the folowing replaced: roof rack lights (had cracked screws and rattled at speed), horn, gas tank, fuel intake lines, fuel overflow canister, sunroof, airbag sensors (high speed impact, low speed impact, and wiring harness in dash), temperature control module for A/C, battery, engine misfire updates (quite a few in 2009), in the process of getting the fan blower control module fixed and getting 5 new chrome wheels due to the chrome pitting. We are also waiting for the new navigation DVD to come out since we found a bad spot in Miami...the truck tweeked out on us and the Nav froze up for a while. It might be worth $350 for a new DVD in a year or so! = )

So what have some of ya'lls issues been.

The GM mechanic said I would probably want to get a new truck after all this and I said "Why? By the time you guys finish with her I'll have a brand new one!"

wow..... only cosmetic stuff for me, less a battery.

all the plastic roof trim replaced (bowing up and rattling), new a/c controls (the back lit lights went out), new a/c vent (i broke one loading gear -dont ask), new monsoon head unit (buttons wearing out), and my battery went out at 45k miles. All of the above has been replaced under warranty.

Sounds like you got a lemon. My problems have been a defective antenna cable (that 2 dealers have not been able to diagnose), and a brake problem (that 2 dealers have not been able to diagnose). The brake problem is very troubling, indeed. On the first stop after an 8 hour rest or so, the pedal goes very low, then suddenly kicks back and the truck brakes very hard.

I'm considering getting both of these problem fixed by my local mechanic, then submitting the invoice to GM for reimbursement. Will that work?

My sunroof leaked, bad fuel injector, airbag light (haven't taken it in yet, don't know the cause).

Sad...That is what the mechanic at GM said too!!! We get the truck back tomorrow, so we'll see how long we get to keep her before something else goes wrong....

It'll be nice to be back in a vehicle that I can see over other cars! The pontiac G6 they put us in is kind of a bore....

I had the traction control computer go, the passenger side rear door handle broke off, and now it's in the shop for a low idle that when you stop it feels like it wants to stall, but it's still under the factory warranty. Sorry to hear about your problems!!

Had the dimmer light switch replaced, then the rear rotors replaced.

I love this vehicle. I hope it does not start to fall apart, there's nothing out there at this point in time I'd want to replace it with.

Minor stuff, vibration/rattle in center dash, bluetooth won't hold programming (bulletin on that), Onstar antenna cable replaced.

Compared to my Rubicon, within a year I had three trips to the dealer for diagnostics on check engine light, various 02 sensors and a forth trip for the PCM. Also had water leaks in the Freedom top that included so many visits I lost count.

Sun roof leaked. Had it fixed before I took delivery, adjustment needed. I have broken the latch on my glove box twice. Both my fault. Took it to the dealer first time it was fixed under warranty. Second time I ordered online and fixed it myself. Dealer is 2 hrs. away so it was cheaper to do it myself. Replaced switch on tailgate. Again cheaper to do it myself. Mine is an 08 with 21K. Love it.
