I took the truck to Colorado in September, ran several 4x4 roads, a 3000 mile round trip. I am not sure I would do this again, and risk the problem developing a long way from home, and then have to deal with a week long repair a long way from home. This is a vehicle disabling problem.

To ad insult to injury, the 07 H3, which does not have a defective head, has a 100,000 mile warranty.

Everyone with a vehicle made before 4/1/06 should complain to Hummer, and GM. This was sold as a premier brand, and we should not have been treated like this.


Back the fawk up there sparky. Why don't you try reading through the rest of this thread, and the other threads about this issue before you chase down GM with torches and pitchforks.

My truck, as well as many of the H3's I wheel with were built in '05. To my knowledge, none of them have had the cylinder head problem. Hell, I've never even had a check engine light (probably just jinxed myself so FU in advance). If "all H3's" built over a period of almost a year had a defective cylinder head don't you think there'd be more people on here complaining about it. We'd probably also be seeing a recall. Did you get your notice? Didn't think so.
