NORMAL!?

My 03 Range Rover was a piece of Sh!t but at least they attempted to fix it! Now wonder GM is going out of business.

do you want to sell your H2 ?

Not really, I'd just like the dealer to do what is right. If they don't i'll simply by a different brand for my next car. Selling a car to someone is one thing and servicing it is another. That's part of the whole experience. If they don't make things right the consumer can choose to buy from someone who will. Right? My Rover, for example, was a mechanical piece of Sh!t but at least the dealer tried to keep it on the road.

My '06 had a little rust on the rear tire carrier. I took some fine sand paper and flat black rust oleum and it's as good as new. Total time 15 minutes, total expenditure $5. I also did the towing hitch receiver while I was at it.

Can you post a picture of your chrome wheels flaking. There are a few posts on it, but if I see your wheel I can lead you in the right direction.

Mine is leaking water through the top weld and getting into the inside of the carrier where it is hollow. So, I believe it is rotting through. I was going to do what you did, try and scrape it clean and paint it myself, but with the damage from the inside out I wasnt sure how long that would last. So i said what the hell and asked about warrenty coverage at the dealer. This is a Cady dealer too, not a hummer dealer where I bought it. I'm glad there are going to take care of it.

My 06 has just turned 20K and no sign of rust. Where do you guys live? You must be up North, otherwise I imagine I'd be having the same problem.
