2008 SUT with major problems!

[blackhawk29]

oh, also forgot, my remote start rarely works properly unless i am within 20' of the vehicle. after programming the "approach lighting" to activate, it does not work properly, my first 08 activated all of the exterior lighting including headlamps, the second one only turn on the drl's after calling hummer, they did not even know what "approach lighting" was?

WTF is Tactical Edition? That's probably the problem. Pop that badge off and it will probably run as well as mine does without one!

I was thinking it was those wheels and tires, but you may be on to something.

Tactical edition is available as a dealer option for both H2 and H3. For H2 it includes the blacked out roof lighting, color matched wheels (I think available in Black, Red, and Grey?), 110v inverter outlet in addition to the air port and 12v outlet, and locking safe in center console. I read about it somewhere for the H3, told my dealer I'd like it for the H2 who looked at me like I was crazy, but found the parts package available after I ordered it. Could be dealer BS though. I like it, that's all that matters.

I was thinking about taking all the badging off.

UPDATE: Onstar dispatched a tech from another dealership (Dew Hummer, Pinellas) to my house yesterday, in addition to a tow. He drove me back to his dealership, gave me a loaner, and set it up for service first thing this morning.

One good decision you made was joining this forum group, you'll get all the info you'll ever need for your truck, and thats about when your thread goes into the toilet, welcome and enjoy your stay!!

Hope you have better luck with Vivian than I did! My last Porsche ended up with soooooooo many problems, I had to sue her and her crap dealership. Bought mine from Dew, got my fingers crossed, no problems so far.

Let me know if it get gets too far out of whack, I'll give you the number of the area Hummer Rep.!

thats suprising to hear you had soo many issues, my pops had 4 Porsches never had to take any of them in for anything other than an oil change and the occasional nail in the tire, same deal with everyone else we know with Porsches, this is the first time of many problems that i heard, what issues were you having with it?

[H2BRUTE]

I feel for you bro. Nothing worse than buying a new rig and having it be a lemon, which this one sounds like..It's a great looking rig and I know you would hate to part with it, but if you start ranting and raving about them taking it back and giving you a new one, maybe they will either get the right people involved to fix it for you or perhaps get you a new one. Mine is a 2004 and to date have only had a few minor problems which the dealership goes overboard to fix for me..Da BRUTE (Over 80 mods/adds to date and still counting)

[Agriv8r]

although painful, it sounds like the right thing is being done...dont forget the new pics....

ssweeeeeeeeeeeeeet ride

[KrazyMedicRN]

Blue I live up the road in Palm Harbor and deal with Dew Hummer I have beenvery happy with the service they have provided and hope they continue to treat you well... Your tactical edition was purchaed secondary? from gm

[Klaus]

You should not have had the aftermarket electronics installed until the truck was sorted out. The wheels could be an issue as well. The dealership / GM will say the aftermarket stuff is causing the problems.

Best of luck to you!

[Hummer Aficionado_VT]

Bummer... Good luck on the fix!

[dkhummerh2]

Let them tell you whatever they want. Then contact corp. I had to do that with Chevy a few years back.

Good luck with the dealer. Something like your now going through sure takes the joy out of owning a (new) Hummer. I seem to recall if you have to take your vehicle back to the dealer three times for the same problem without resolution, it qualifies for the Lemon Law. Definintely keep all the paper work.

Oh, and about that Tactical Edition badge, when you take it off....Send it to Me!!!! I'll put it on mine.

it qualifies for the lemon law if you have the same possibly LIFE THREATINING problem three times, such as something with power steering or the transmission, if its only a problem with something like A/C it wont qualify for the lemon even if it happens 10 times. And even if you win the lemon they have one last shot to fix it and usually they can fix it on the last time becuase the realize if it doesnt work now then we have to give them a new car plus intrest.

It went back in yesterday for a check engine light... something about "metal shavings got into the control board" which of course had to be ordered. Total days with = 8
Total days without = 8...9...



Think I might need that GM rep number.
