My dealer will probobly do anything they have to if they get ok from hummer?

I wrote a lonnnng post here and decided to delete and just answer your direct question without getting so wordy. Bottomline is that if the GM/Hummer tech rep reports that there isn't a problem, or, that it's normal for an H3, or has zero safety concerns .. Hummer Assistance can't do anything about it. Hummer Assistance said they have to go by what they are told about the vehicle by their field person since they are the field experts. I was really upset, especially since I had other issues with my H3 all along the way (cylinder head/valves, hood repaint, air intake box repaints, engine light, stabilitrak, etc., etc.) The dealer can't make the 'fix' if the field rep doesn't approve any fix. When I went to the other dealer, the made a fix and it had been gone for a couple of months. (The groan is coming back, especially when I have to brake suddenly. Mine used to sound as bad as yours (sorry!), but is now just building momentum again. ( )I'm going to let it build before I go back again. I may try the 3rd dealer next time.) let us know what happens with the field rep!

I"m going to have to quit reading these trouble threads as every time I do my truck develops the problem. Mine just started the "groan" this week at a little over 11K miles. Sounds just like 442's sound files.....

Lotus4s ... look at the decal on the drivers side, inside door jamb. The build date is on the upper right hand corner. Fourfour2 and I both have the same build date .. we both have '06's. The groan in my H3 sounds just like fourfour2's also. It could be something inherent to our build date. Please check when you can. If we , we may be able to find the problem. Thanks!

Build date according to the sticker is 09/05......thanks for that info.

lotus4s, well, your build date is not the same as mine or fourfour2's. Ours was built on 6/22/06. It looks like you'll have to go the same route as we did .. and, f5fstop, and have it checked out. Read the posts on this thread .. make a copy of the bulletin regarding this sound closer to the top of this thread and take it with you to the dealer. PLEASE keep us updated as to whatever you find out from your dealer. We're ripping our hair out already for a number of months trying to figure this out. So far, f5fstop has had his fixed.
