We decided to go straight to the dealer. To our dismay they were closed. So we drove around town looking for a new car to replace this one since we have had many problems with this H3 since last November. Between roof lights rattleing to the head being replaced due to miss firing, we have had enough. So as we we leaving another dealrship the H3's traction control system started clicking and grinding very loud and was trying to stop the vehicle. The more gas I gave it the more it fought back to stop the vehicle. I limpted it back to the closed dealership and proceeded to call the dealership's emergancy phone #. It got me know where other than very mad. I am done with this truck and want my money back. It is nothing but a pile of junk. I am sorry to say this cause I really liked this vehicle but I can't go on have issues like this on a regular basis, I payed way too much money for things like this to be happening so often. I left the dealler a message on there voice mail demanding a buy back program or something like this. From the start this dealler has treated us like idiots. I am fed up. I wish I could afford an H2 but not right now. I will prevale and will keep you all updated. Thank you for all your suggestions and information that you give.

Sorry if I'm suspicious, but a first post, that mentions everything that is mentioned on this site is suspicious to me; especially when still insisting, "I really liked the vehicle." (Not the past tense.)
If I had a vehicle that had as many problems as you stated, I would hate the vehicle.





As for the stab system/traction control failure, if the ABS is not mentioned, the ABS will not be affected.
You can try the moving between different switch positions (4 Wheel, 4 Wheel High Lock, 4 Wheel Low Lock, and it sometimes works. If not, most likely it is the TCCM (trans/case control module) or the t/case encoder motor. Both take very little time to replace; if in stock.
