Has anyone else had to have the entire head replaced? I smell recall.

If you haven't done it you should call Hummer Customer assistance ( 1-866-HUMMER6) and request the 100K warrenty on the engine. Sewie advised me to do and it was easy to do, two phone calls in two days and as advertised the extended warrenty paperwork came within a few weeks.

The customer service person bragged on and on about how GM was going to stand beside me and help me out. I did request the warrenty be extended to the entire powertrain but they were not willing to go that far.

This is the first American made new car I have owned since 1981 and am dissapointed with the problems. Lets face it, building cylinder heads is not exactly a new thing for GM.

I had a phone survey from GM a few weeks ago and I LET THEM HAVE IT about the cylinder head problems. I was told the comments went directly to GM. Maybe it will do some good.

No $hit they have probably built close to a billion , so i hope they can get their crap together on this real soon nice you got the warranty without too much hassle . but i dont think you should of even had to call , they should be offering it right up front and extending the 60 months .

hope things work out for all of you with this happening

My vin is less than the evil vin number mentioned before

Anything happens to mine I wanna used H2

What's the deal with the warranty extension? Is that only for those that had the head replaced already?

Just call them up and tell them you are aware of the engine problems and that they have given others the extended warrenty and you want them to stand beside you all the way and give you the extended warretnty too like they have done so many others. After all you don't want to be on your own when the check engine light comes on at 50,100 miles.

Sounds nice, but has this been done before successfully by an H3 owner that has not yet had head replaced?

Actually I'm pretty confident I could get them to cough up at 50,100+ miles if necessary. I've received post warranty coverage from Ford and Porsche in the past without a fight. But I'd like to see GM step up in a proactive way.

Had the check engine light on for a couple of days and it went into the local GMC dealer this morning to see what's wrong. Onstar was saying engine misfire.

At least I have alot of good info from the forum, we'll see what they say this afternoon

When I called GM to ask about a warranty extension they said they don't do warranty extensions. I think I had a lame advisor to help me out. This is the second time my engine has had issues. Cant remember the exact mileage from the first time (it's in here somewhere I'm just too lazy to look) but this time around- I have around 28k on it.
