Very strange indeed. "There is a serious problem out of the factory, especially with Cylinder #1. Designated cylinder #1 is not seated properly. Similar H3 Hummers are having the same problem with #1. They order from the factory?, same problem! Scary…"
Very strange since there is no PI issued by TAC for this concern (H3/Colorado/Canyon), and if it was as prevalent as described, it would be in the PI list. (Top 25 warranty hits on the H3 since first delivery do not even include engine/trans issues.)
Can a cylinder go out...in any vehicle...yes. Does this happen on the I-5...sure, just like on any engine (including Honda engines, which are said to be the best...remember, Saturn uses Honda engines, and we have replaced some of those engines).
There could be a quality spill from Tonawanda where the engines are manufactured. If so, usually these are caught quickly, and engines held. Or it could be a one time problem.
I have 7300 miles and the only thing wrong is I can't keep it clean, squeaky idler pulley, squeaky stab bushings, and now I noticed a cracked roof rail. Engine...nothing at all wrong.
(By the way, the Hummer assistance center, is also known as the Premium Car assistance center (Cadillac, GMC and Hummer), and is in Austin, TX.)
