I purchased My 2007 Hummer H3 in April this Year ...My Birthday gift ...I Searched Hi-an-Low ..Wanted Best Bang for the Buck So to Say...lol
I found this Black 2007 2nd owner (Sheriff Owned) in Harrison ,MI
47k Original Miles
Excellent Shape , Clean Car Fax
I Was So Excited....Paid $19k CASH
Let Me tell YOU what I never have been So Excited and So Disappointed in My LIFE!
After driving to purchase 2 hours from my home to buy I had an Engine Light come on.

After Nearly $8k thousand later
Engine Head, Timing Belt with Tensioners ,Tune Up ALL New Injectors, Intake Manifold, Heater Core, Etc..I finally get to enjoy this H3
Turns Out...GM is FULLY AWARE of the Heads Manufactured for these were out of Spec when manufactured and covered if under Warranty..Individual Case to Case
GM felt even though they were FULLY Aware of the Bad Manufacturing That it wasn't a SAFETY ISSUE So No RECALL!? F@#$$%^BS!
My Warranty ran out in Nov.2012 So they Refused to cover...I Argued til i was blue, Plead at least cover Parts( Head) But , in the End only insulted me an Offered a Rebate on a New Purchase??
Rubbish, BULLOCKS!!
Terrible They Lost My Wife and I's Business, in fact we were in the Market for New Lease , Wife Wanted Cadillac? NOT
So We Bought a New 2013 Chrysler 300C and Yes Its a HEMI!
LOL

Sorry that you had that experience. Now you can enjoy the truck. Welcome and you are not alone on the disgust with GM. It runs deep with Hummer owners who have been treated as badly as any car buyer ever.

Welcome to H4O. GM seems to have made a habit of alienating existing customers, especially owners. Lots of us are through with GM.

Sorry to hear about that mess... Welcome from the Dearborn area.....Which sheriff did you buy it from? It wasn't Hackel was it? LOL Naw kidding, I have my boat in Harrison Twp a mile or 2 down from the sheriffs marine division wells and grew up there so I know some of the boys...or did anyways. I had similar issue, but much less wrong with my 07 H3. Just a ball joint and got them to replace it because it was NOT safe (safety item) and the wheel was moving 2" and could very easily fell off....I wonder why the NTSB did not issue a recall if everyone knew they were using bad heads right from the get go? Seems you may have an argument with them through the government agency perhaps? I hope you get to enjoy it now. Just keep in mind, I had similar issues with a Jeep I bought new, and made 18 trips for transmissions, drive lines, torque converter, transfer case....but they paid it all....so it happens with all the dealers and manufacturers....but I did get 10 years out of the jeep and never let broke down on me...
Best of Luck.....

Welcome!

I had some bad luck when I first bought my Hummer, but after about 8 trips to the dealer I got it all sorted out and now I love me T even more!

Hope the same goes for you!

Hello from Fowlerville/Howell area.. Yeah, I have had tons of issues with mine, I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love the way it looks and what it is capable of, but it seems to have been to poorly built, or maybe I just got a lemon.... Enjoy it, and hit me up if you are ever in the Fowlerville area.
