I bought my Black H3 Hummer used from the Hummer dealership in Tulsa, Okla on April 14, 2010. It was 3 years old when I bought it and still under bumper to bumper warranty. List of repairs since purchase:
05/10/10: H3 would not start, right side brake light was out,& H3 leaned to right-- dealership replaced the *Ignition Switch* *brake light* and performed recall hood repair. #Under Warranty#
Dealership didn't have time to take care of leaning problem.
07/02/10: H3 leaned to right, which I've never drove it off road. --dealership had time and assessed a torsion bar issue, adjusted it and aligned.#$45.00#
7/22/10: H3's tire pressure warning light came on, was vibrating on highway, radio had a static problem, and passenger side front A/C vent wouldn't open.--dealership ordered parts for A/C vent, patched tire which had a nail in it, balanced tires, and replaced antenna mast assembly. #Tire & Balance cost $48.49# #Antenna Under Warranty#
08/10/10: A/C vent part comes in - replaced far right A/C/ Air Deflector assembly. #Under Warranty#
10/19/2010: H3 slow to start - battery is almost dead. Just out of 50K warranty. Sears, Jiffy Lube and Meineke do not have proper battery size - take it to Dealership. Replace battery (and decide to replace battery housing and cabling, which I was not asked about) *Irately I pay #$250.00# for new battery and the other "stuff".
10/30/10: H3 begins to rough idle. Called dealership, they said they didn't have time until two weeks out. Issue is minor, I am broke, I let it go.
12/26/10: Day after Christmas, H3 won't start, stalls. Finally get it to turn over, rough rough idle, shakes hard. Get it on road and higher speed, drives fine at higher speeds.
12/27/2010: Take it to independent auto shop. Access rough idle, codes that come back 101, 300 and 171. Cleaned Mass Air Flow censor, reset TPMS. They then tested and found cylinder #2 missfiring at idle. Swapped #2 for #4 coil and plug. Missfire stays on 2. Autoshop recommends taking to dealership to assess if repair would fall under powertrain 100k mile warranty.
Weary of dealership and low on funds, I have not taken my H3 in again for rough idle again.
Other issues that have come up:
-Passenger side front speaker in door, goes in and out- no cracking
-A static sound can be heard occasionally coming from windshield area? even with radio turned OFF.
-Door lights on lock and window buttons change from lit to unlit when driving or changing from Drive to park and vice versa.
-4/14/2011 - While driving down dry highway not accelerating or breaking, moving at constant speed error light Stability System failed, service Stability system. I have no idea what cause this.
I need help! I'm sunk in this car...
