I took it to the dealership a few wednesdays ago and was told that there was a TSB out on this. Dealer says they followed the TSB fix for this issue and the vibration should be gone. Guess what- the noise is still there. I took it back to the dealership on friday of the same week and it was there for 12 days. Dealer claims I needed a new muffler and because of the flooding from Hurricane Ike- I wasn't able to get my part in right away. So they stick me in a G6 for 12 days.
On Sept. 23, I was told that my part came in and my H3 was fixed- no vibration noise can be heard now. So I go to pick it up- find the dealership had completely detailed my H3 for me and it looked great! Until I turned the key and started the ignition. I could still hear the annoying vibration noise. I then get out and walk behind my vehicle only to find that for some odd reason- my spare wheel (that the dealership just polished) is now pitted and completely peeling. I'm now given yet another rental car (which by the way I had to fight to get a damn hummer).

The dealership now keeps my 3 for 3 more days before calling to say it's ready to be picked up and there is no more vibration (this time- they decided to change the fuel tank and the foam that goes around it).

Since I work funky hours- I had to pick up my vehicle after service hours. I go to pick it up and when I get there- I figured I'd better check my new rim and for some reason I decided to check the other 4. ALL 4 other rims are now peeling and pitted. WTF? What could they possibly have cleaned my wheels with that they are all ruined? It's ridiculous. Oh and not to mention- I still have the annoying vibration. I have no clue what this noise is- all I know is it is annoying as hell. I called the dealership back today and was told that service was swamped and I would have to leave a message. Unfortunately no one called me back so I have no clue what they plan to do.
Does anyone have any idea what this noise could possibly be?

I get that same noise whenever i have my AC on. i didn't know what it was until this week. i turned my AC on at a stop light and the noise came on. so, i turned it off and the rattling sound stopped. is this what the problem could be on yours?
