Re: Early H3 Noise
 
Well got the afternoon call from dealer service and as expected they did nothing after having my H3 all day for an oil change.

So at that point I started giving direction and supervising. I referenced the TSB (since they claimed they checked for TSB's, right). 10 minutes later they called back and said they ordered the part referenced on the TSB.

So on Tuesday afternoon they will take my H3, install the part, keep it overnight, check it the next morning with a cold start, and call me when done. And I should get a loaner H2 per my request also.

Again - Thanks to 442 for digging up that TSB. Even if it's not the specific solution, the point was taken, and I will get the H3 fixed.

Seems like a long time to order a pulley and tensioner. What are they ... rare as tie rods?

Hope they come in soon :beerchug:

Got a call today from dealer this morning. They are still mousing around trying to figure out if they now have both parts in stock. :popcorn:

Re: Early H3 Noise
 
Dealer called back again, and verified they had both parts in stock. So I took it in about 10:30AM. No H2's available, so they gave me an H3. Might be ready tonight:popcorn: , then I will field test it to see if noise is gone during morning cold starts:popcorn: .

I called them at 10:30 this morning. Now they are saying they have ordered a power steering pump which will take a couple of days to arrive....:popcorn:

I'll keep driving the base H3 that they gave me until then.

Steve - SanJose 06-13-2007 06:28 PM

Re: Early H3 Noise
 
I'll find out if the power steering pump arrives today and gets installed....

What a freaking runaround :lame:

Steve - SanJose 06-14-2007 01:56 AM

Re: Early H3 Noise
 
No kidding. Power steering pump did not arrive today, maybe tomorrow (depending if it comes from Reno or factory). :popcorn: I'm getting sick of eating this popcorn.....

Steve - SanJose 06-14-2007 09:29 PM

Re: Early H3 Noise
 
:popcorn: Haven't received a call today, yet. But they said if the pump doesn't arrive, I'll get my H3 back anyway until the pump comes.

Every morning when I pull out of my driveway people look at my H3 as the belt screechs loudly when cold. Good advertising for GM. People look at the nice new truck and wonder what's wrong with that POS.

So they've had my H3 for a total of 5 days and what was accomplished??????????. TBD........

That sucks

GM better get with it on having parts available for the H3.

Steve - SanJose 06-15-2007 01:06 AM

Re: Early H3 Noise
 
Good news at 4:00pm:) . After a total of 5 days in the shop, I have a new power steering pump. It's up to me to field test the rig with cold starts in the next few mornings and hope the noise is gone.

I'm glad to have it back!

The strippo H3 loaner was nice enough, but I miss the leather, XM, Hitchcam, power seats, garage door opener in visor, etc. in my own rig.

Steve - SanJose 06-15-2007 10:15 PM

Re: Early H3 Noise
 
More good news. No schreeching during the cold start this morning. Hopefully it's fixed now.
