I bought the extra warranty and glad i did, in 5000 miles i will be on the extended warranty that covers just the power train.

Tracy..... my roof on the 2008 is doing the same thing, when its closed I can move it with my hand, going downt he highway I can feel if moving from the wind and it makes noise over bumps, I also have a squeak in the interior coming from the back over bumps. It will be going into the hummer in the next couple of weeks, we only have a couple more weeks of being able to get out on the water here and I dont want to have the truck tied up at the dealer

Hi I could move the glass up and down at the back almost 1/4 inch it was driving me nuts. They have to drop the headliner to fix it and parts alone were $1900 but I live in Canada. I dropped the headliner myself so it didn't get fu'ked up. They had to order the 2 parts it was a week to get them.

I opted for the factory extended warranty which I paid about $1000 for. Have put 10,000 miles on in two years and have made up this $1000 more than a few times. I NEVER buy extended warranties for ANYTHING except for the car...

My regular warrenty just ended in June. I've been thinking about extended also but like some others on here I never buy extended warrentys. I always here about the warrenty companys fighting not to cover things. I always believed extended warrentys to be more of a scam than anything else. But I have heard some good thing about the GMPP warrentys. If anything I woudn't go with one of those other independent agencies. Ive been up in the air too with the H2, I know repairs for the beast can become costly. Can anyone go and buy an extended warrenty from GMPP?

Just got off the phone with the dealership in PA. 2006 prices go up 30-40% in 5 days.

Also, if your original factory warranty has expired, it's too late. You have to get the GMPP before your factory warranty expires.

I'm so torn on this.

On top of the warranty there is a 350.00 Hummer surcharge and for me a 225.00 fee because the truck is titled in the business name.

That's over 2k for 4 years / 32k miles.

I think I'm going to take my chances. With my connections and these forums I'm sure most repairs can be done for much less than book.

Taking it in Monday to go over everything one last time.
