Re: alignment under warranty
I had mine realigned under warranty right at 500 miles. I wanted to do it earlier but they said the truck has to have at least 500 miles on it.
I started a post on my issue a couple of weeks ago. The truck was drifting and i tought it was the allignment and the dealer agreed. Unfortunately it didnt help. Then after 500 more miles they realigned it again (warranty), no change. So the drifting was not the allignments fault. Solved the problem with some t-bar adjustment.
but in your case, they will not realign under warranty at 15000 miles. On my other truck, i hadnt realigned until i changed tires at 45000 miles, and it didnt even have any alignment problems at that point.

Re: alignment under warranty
I had over 100,000 miles on my Land Rover Discovery, I beat the ever living crap out of it. It NEVER EVER needed an alinement. No junk. Therefore I believe it does have something to do with how a vehicle is built. My 2006 Subaru Outback Turbo was always pulling hard to the right and the dealer could never fix it. They declared it "normal" . I sold that car in less than six months and will never buy one again. Fortunately I have had no problems with my H3 and I love it! P.S. My Jeep was always out of alinement, but I still almost cried when I sold it. Just my two cents.

I complained about a grinding sound ( thought it was coming from the back, not the front) picked it up and drove to my Moms to get her gray H-3 for the HOPPING problem (another post) so I hopefully will GET MY Yellow Duck back from HER later today (wednesday).
Only got to put 30 miles on it from the dealer to her house...

Re: alignment under warranty
Rotation and spin balance - 4 wheels - $30. Paid $129.95 for lifetime alignment. I can have it aligned every 6K miles if I want to, free of charge. Of course if any parts require replacement, this is not free. Sound like they made you squeal like a pig. I would insist on a partial refund for the roation and balance. You were completely ripped off.

Re: alignment under warranty
OMG - AN ALIGNMENT for $150.00????
I had my torsion bars adjusted and an alignment for $50.00. You are getting jacked if you pay anything over $50 for an alignment alone. And mine was not at an H3 dealership, nor any major dealership, but a privately owned company that specializes in alignments. In fact, the dealerships send their vehicles to these guys for alignments.
As far as the warranty, I agree with F5 for higher miles - but in my case mine had just rolled 5,000 so I know that that thing was off from the factory. I hadn't been beating on it off road and it always had that driver's side lean to it.
I suspect that the alignment may be skewed when the vehicles are transported, from being chained down, etc. But I could be wrong...

Re: alignment under warranty
It would be really helpful if more of you guys could post what you paid to have an alignment and/or a tire rotation and balance done at a Hummer dealer and where you're located (if you've even had this work done of course). That will give me some numbers to back up my claim that I got ripped off by my dealer.
