[Captain of the Titanic]

After putting 24K on the H2 (plus 11K from the original owner), I have some thougts on the H2.

1. Mud:
It is a b*tch in the mud. It likes to get stuck. I think that because of the excessive weight, it sinks and/or slides into the mud. I have gotten the beast stuck 4 times in the mud. My feelings are that my previous Tahoe (highly modified and lifted) would have gotten through the situations with ease. I am thinking about putting a 6" lift on it to get the bottom up. I think that with a little height, I would have been okay in 3 out of the 4 situations.

2. NOISE NOISE NOISE:
My H2 makes more noise that 10 rats in a cardboard box. Everything seems to rattle and squeek. This has come on in the last 500 miles. I am going to have to take it in to the dealership and hope for the best. The windshield buzzes (always has), which I have read is easily fixable; the passenger door rattles and squeeks, and the passenger door speaker seems to have come loose and started squeeking (blown?).

3. Alignment:
I seem to need an alignment way too often. I have successfully eaten one of my tires due to alignment issues after going offroading (light-level). I had a alignment only 1000ish miles before this. The tire went in 250 miles.

4. Leather:
The leather does not seem to be holding up that well. Clearly by 100K miles I will need a reupholstery.

5. Freewheeling:
Why, oh why, can't I completely shut off the traction control.


Okay, I got it all off my chest. Are these common problems, or am I the only one sinking my H2 regularly? I have read some people have had some of the difficulties as well.

I still love the truck, which reflects on the other aspects of the vehicle!
