Re: 2008 SUT with major problems!
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!

Re: 2008 SUT with major problems!
Let them tell you whatever they want. Then contact corp. I had to do that with Chevy a few years back.

UPDATED: 2008 SUT withOUT major problems!
Well, the second dealership called me this afternoon. They located a "master wire harness" behind the dash which had been "crushed" during the build process behind a large metal reinforcment tube. The tech tells me that it was at a 90 degree angle, and it's a wonder the truck ran in the first place! Needless to say, all has been repaired/replaced, with big apologies all around. They threw in the installation of my TPM sensors, a bed cover and free oil changes for the trouble.
Drove it back just now and all minutia of problems have disappeared! Amazing huh?
But now to the pissy news (for which I will start a new thread)...
"We received a service bulletin last week... all 2008's must run Premium Fuel!"
WTF!

Re: 2008 SUT with major problems!
This thread has me really upset. I have a 2008 on order and the nearset dealer to me is 220 miles away. I definetly don't want to deal with these kind of problems.

Re: 2008 SUT with major problems!
There must be an issue with the wiring harness. I had a "chaffed wire" that caused my BCM to go on the fritz. It was just dash lights etc that werent working. They fixed it and its running like a top!

Re: 2008 SUT with major problems!
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?

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.

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.

Re: 2008 SUT with major problems!
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.

Even then, the fix might last only a few months.

Latest update... Went back in the shop and was in for nearly 40 days. GM reps from "all over the country" came in to try and figure out what was wrong. Eventually, they replaced the Transmission Control Module, which happens to be the same thing the dealer tech said was the problem according to the diag computer (4 weeks prior).
It seemed to fix the problem, but unfortunately they took so much crap apart during the "investigative" process that there are rattles, ticks and grinding noises everywhere.
GM finally decided to offer me a brand new truck - which of course "had to be ordered" and will finally be here shortly after the new year. The dealer (sales manager actually) will transfer/pay to transfer all of the aftermarket equipment too. So pretty good support there! All in all though, I LOVE my H2.

WOW...... that sure it alot of BS to deal with, sounds like you really have a stand up dealer that is really standing behind thier product. Hopefully your new rig is problem free in the new year. Happy holidays
