We have 2000 mechanical problem free miles in the month we have had ours.

Being new to this forum and the Hummer scene, I have read just about every post just to get a feel for the experiences and the history or the vehicle.

The only main problems that I have seen posted are related to rearend or in one or two cases the transfer case.

There have been some minor electrical issues with TirePressureMonitor systems, but these can usually be traced to wheel change, actual tire underinflation(air down for offroad), or tire rotation without proper re-calibration.

There has only been one mention of an actual oil leak, which I have not seen an explantion of what was found, possibly not even anything wrong with the vehicle.

Only issue that I have myself is the other problem I have seen listed. That is the dash lights not dimming. There has been a post that a TSB has been issued and they have to replace the BCM to cure the problem. I am not sure, I have not even contacted the dealer about it. I will as soon as I get a couple of days off, inorder to take it the 120 miles to the nearest dealer.

Overall, I am very pleased, I buy a new company vehicle every 80,000 miles for myself(currently the 03 Expedition) which is due to be replaced soon and out of 7 vehicles in the last 10 years, bought new the H3 has had the least amount of issues.

Also if anyone has repairs done and they mention a TSB that explains the problem, it would be helpful to the rest of us that may be having the same problem. So please ask for it and put it in your resolution post. It would make our time to repair and sometimes the dealers time to diagnose the problem a lot less time.
