To HUmmer or not to Hummer that is my question

[belezeebub]

After reading this and other boards it seems to me that the H2 has some "Issues" with out starting a Flame war (I hope)
I am not as wealthy as some of you (it has taken me 3 years to save up thye money for a Hummer) and Need a Truck that I can drive everyday and one that doesn't break down all the time.

I have seen posted about leaks, tie-rods, fuel, computer issues, electrical issue, transmissions and a ton of others


So here are Yet more questions.

1. How often has your H2 been in the shop?
2. How often does it break down?
3. What kind of issues have you had?

Given that this WILL be my daily driver and only car should I get one?

Great, your one of "those" spineless types who needs to be coddled. I thought you just had a laundry list of add ons all picked out and now you can't pull the trigger?

I can't decide for you and I'm not going to rationalize a 60k purchase for you. Be a big boy and show mommy which car you want.

If you need any help deciding on lunch tommorow, call me.

[Longhorn]

Don't buy it, it will be in the shop all the time for oil changes, tire rotations and other really scarry stuff. Oh, they'll also provide a rental car for added inconvenience.

[belezeebub]

Gee ask a question and get a personal attack, you are truly number one in my book can you guess which finger I use to signal that?

I don’t consider these Normal problems, on a 60000-dollar car.

Then don't buy it, but don't ask me for reassurance or to convince you.

The sky is falling.

TROLL!

[belezeebub]

Thank you Alec W, I am still deciding about it and as for you Mr. LonghornRockcrawler


Were you born an *******?
Or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine
'Cause you're an ******* tonight

Yes you're an A-S-S-H-O-L-E
And don't you try to blame it on me
You deserve all the credit
You're an ******* tonight

You were an ******* yesterday
You're an ******* tonight
And I've got a feelin'
You'll be an ******* the rest of your life

And I was talkin' to your mother
Just the other night
I told her I thought you were an *******
She said, "Yes, I think you're right"

And all your friends are *******s
'Cause you've known them your whole life
And somebody told me
You've got an ******* for a wife

Were you born an *******?
Or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine
'Cause you're an aaaass...hole tonight

Thank you kind sir for the witty retort. Have yourself a weekend!

I'll be available if you need any more help making those pesky decisions that life seems to hurl your way.

Mine was in the shop one time due to the on-star unit not functioning. I should have just left it broke cause now I spend more money than I am comfortable with using the phone feature. It is addicting.

Other than that I have had to touch up some rusty bolts and just check fluids now and then. I beat my truck pretty good, nothing compared to some of the people here but I am far from gentle with it.

My Silverado was in the garage all the time for little problems and I never treated it as rough as I do this truck so I'm pretty happy about that.

No matter what your decision winds up being you will have something go wrong here or there but you will never be stuck without a vehicle since they will always give you one to drive. Hell they come pick my truck up and bring it back to me just for an oil change so I can't complain since it is a little over an hour to get to the dealership.

[timgco]

good luck on your choice!
For what it is worth, this is just another GM vehicle! You may get lucky and have no problems, you may be unlucky and have a ton of problems. I have owned many GM vehicles (mostly trucks) and this one has made me very happy! I have had trouble with my compresor! That's it other than minor issues! This is still a fairly new truck and needs some kinks worked out (compressor) and if you take care of it, it should take care of you! i can't make the choice for you, but, I can tell you I am glad i got mine!

No, Mrs. Beezly, you shouldn't. It's a really long drive from Hillsburrito to the Hummer dealer. You'll be subjecting yourself to that awful traffic on 26 and all of those grumpy econo-box drivers that will be giving you dirty looks will probably make you really uncomfortable, too.
Get a Hyundai. You'll blend right in.

Golly gee.......

Were you born a troll?
Or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine

Yes you're a T-R-O-L-L

You'll be a troll the rest of your life

Just the other night
I told her I thought you were a troll
She said, "Screw him, a-ight"

And all your friends are trolls
'Cause you've known them your whole life
And somebody told me
You’re not old enough for a wife

Were you born a troll?
Or did you work at it your short life?
Either way it worked out fine
'Cause you're a complete aaaass...hole!!!!!!

Don't pay attention to these people.

I’ve had mine since the end of January. The abs light came on and stayed on. It seemed one of the modules shorted out. No problem, dealer fixed and yes, I did get a loaner to ease the inconvenience of not having the truck.

Around town or highway driving is simply amazing. I love the way it rides. Never had it offroad, so I cannot comment on that aspect of it. I’ve had several Jeeps, Cherokee’s as well as many Grand Ltd’s, and Navigators (the most boring vehicle on the planet). Mileage on the Jeeps was marginally better and the Navigator worse.

But every time someone gives me the thumbs up or comments on how they wish they could get one, it brings a big smile to my face. That makes up for any and all inconveniences I will or may incur during my ownership.

If you can do it, order one asap. Your pleasure and pride will outweigh anything else.

(said with Spicoli voice from Fast Times at Ridgemont High) duuuuude, it's oldtoker smokin' the fat one and jumpin' on the keyboard again. Are you one of those guys that smells like dope 24/7? Do you have dreadlocks? How many Grateful Dead bootlegs do you have stored in your drug bus?

Beezlebub, H2 warranty and maintenance is good, bugs should certainly be worked out by now. Don't get an h1 because the cheap bastards at amg won't even pay for a $30 rental car.

[RIC-H0]

Just get one, so you can have bragging rights. Because as of now, you have no rights. The feling of being an H2 owner cannot be described in words.
Get one, and you will understand.
Till then, you are just blowing hot air out your ars.

Then dont get one you worry wort. If you go to any vehicle specific forum like this you will see a few bugs that need fixing for some of the guys, and a few guys that have really bad luck, but you will also find guys who havent had a single problem.
Buy a used car and put the rest in a retirement fund if you are that concerend.

[HGW]

It is still a GM vehicle and therefore a crap shoot. They can't build a vehicle to save their own lives. Do you like it or not? I love mine but have no expectations that it will not break.

I have had a Lexus, BMW, Honda, Toyota--never ever a service call--about 300,000 miles--My Hummer rattled off the lot. I just bought another one.

Do you like it or not?
