12. ???????
11. Head no good (not fixed yet)
10. 4-wheel drive high lock button stuck in
9. Amplifier replaced because of static noise
8. Radio replaced (2nd time) because of static noise
7. Plastic pillar trim cracked
6. Jack replaced recall
5. Battery died around 12,000 miles
4. Radio software reinstalled because they didn't do it right when replacing the radio
3. Radio replaced (1st time) because CD's stuck inside
2. Windshield washer pump replaced recall
1. Transfer Case not filled with additional fluid before delivery. Only found out about it myself on this website. Did the fill myself only to discover that it took almost a quart just to get it up to the plug level. Then added the extra fluid.

For the life of me I couldn't understand why the low tire pressure sensors couldn't tell me which tire was low. When I asked at the dealer why I needed to reprogram them when I rotated the tires he said, because the computer knows and if we need to replace a bad sensor it will tell us which one. Isn't this nice? They store the info but can't tell the end user the information. It will be a cold day in hell before I reprogram ANY low tire pressure sensor on this vehicle.

Also inquired as to why my $800 Monsoon stereo system constantly tells me "No info available" regarding radio station name and song. They told me I don't have the upgraded radio. Is this a joke? They actually program the radio to tell me it can't do something. My 2002 S-10 pickup radio tells me all the time but an $800 radio can't? This is the type of crap that will forever keep GM from going anywhere but down.

The dealer knows me on a first name basis. When they told me the head needed to be replaced I went off on them about GM quality. I told them that GM knows about this and they are doing nothing. I asked what if someone comes in at 55,000 miles needing a new head? Guess what I got for an answer? Dealers answer: "I hope he has an extended warranty". Unbelievable. In a way I am relieved to get the problem under warranty but I feel sorry for everyone who ends up having the problem down the road after the warranty expires. GM couldn't care less about it's customers. Seems that with Toyota ready to overtake them, they ought to take care of the loyal ones they have; before they have none at all.

I remember when Mercedes came out with their small SUV and it was reported that they had a potential to tip over. Mercedes recalled every single one of them, FIXED THE PROBLEM, and we never heard about the problem again. GM has this head problem and where is Robert Lutz? Off somewhere touting that GM quality is vastly improved and right up there with everything else. This guy must be smoking some really powerful stuff. GM has handled this matter pathetically. They still don't get it and their INACTION speaks louder than any quality crap they shove across the table. Wake up Lutz and smell the coffee. GM is history. I should have bought a Honda or Toyota.
Some things sound like owner inflicted to me--I've had the last 12 vehicles I bought came from G M and I rarely had to contact dealer about anything, Sounds like your pretty abusive to everything

I wish you would buy something else--G M customers like you that whine give the Corporation a bad name unjustifiably. You bought bottom of the line and probably think you have an H2 or H1. You or your kids can't abuse stuff such as jamming C Ds in slot and blame G M.How big was trailer you were towing up hill when you frigged up head. Go somewhere else with your whinning --there are no babysitters here to hold mama boys hand. I THINK YOUR A TROLL if not your just to miserable to stay here, GO AWAY

I bought a first year model VW Touareg and my list of problems was three times as long as yours.

Seriously.

I've got an o6 and have had all of the same problems as you listed in the first post with the exception of the transfere case fluid. If you don't look it's not there! I'm going to change the fluids soon though so I'll check.

hey lets not all break his balls here too much. i agree with him to a point that these cars may have more problems then normal but then again i bought a first model year car and fully expected all this.

ill list the issues i have had with my 06 h3 which i still really like despite my many problems

ok so jack and washer replaced
rear brake light failure in the rear windshield
head replaced around 20k
transfer case replaced around 10k
front right bushing replaced on front diff? was never installed in the first place?
front left body mount was crushed causing knocking noises. still have em
rear diff didnt have enough fluid
battery failed and was replaced.
and several more services i cant remember thank goodness for that warranty because this car has been in the shop more than any other i have had. but they have always taken care of me so i still like hummer as a brand and could buy another if they made something awesome.

That sucks....but all car makers have crap sometimes....you mentioned mercedes....they have a terrible below average rating when it comes to electrical problems...so no one is perfect.


Perhaps you shouldn't take it to the dealer anymore!

Sounds all too familiar to me. I had many of the same issues as you plus many many more. Does GM suck? In my opinion yes. BUT I can't control the fact that GM makes the only vehicle I want to drive. I test drove many many many honda's and toyota's. Hell I even owned a few. However- I loved my H3. Even with all the issues my '06 model had. I lemon law'd it and got an '08. Have had it for only a few months but I love it. Honda and Toyota don't come close to making a vehicle that's as fun to drive as the H3 is.

OH and according to my service rep- the only stations that are programmed to show any information are the XM channels. No AM/FM/CD.
