#12 of 60 Would you get another H3? by extech2 Feb 24, 2007 (3:51 pm)
I'm planning to get a new truck or SUV in the next 4-6 months and the H3 is on my list. I wonder how is the reliability and if you'd get another one if the current truck would be lost/stolen/totaled etc. I'm especially interested in hearing from owners who had their H3 for at least a year or more. I'm aware it's not that quick and has poor gas mileage but we can live with that.

Replying to: extech2 (Feb 24, 2007 3:51 pm) You might want to look at the cylinder head problem. I purchased a 2007 h3, its in the shop now with this "common" problem. 4000 miles. Replies to this message: tired_old_dave (May 16, 2007 9:30 am)

Replying to: extech2 (Feb 24, 2007 3:51 pm) The new '08 H3 Alpha with a 5.3 V8 won't change the poor fuel consumption, but it should improve performance and eliminate the cylinder head issue of the five cylinder.

Replying to: tidester (Aug 09, 2006 8:44 pm) Brake problem-While stopping at a red light after driving down a hill the brake pedal drifted to the floor. The vehicle did stop to a point but it kept moving slightly. My wife drove the H3 to my office just a short distance away.My son drove the car around a parking lot and experienced the same. About 4 hours I drove the car home(15 miles) on highway, stop and go, down hills and there was not a problem with the brakes. I had my service man check out the H3 and after a bit of driving he to found that coming to a stop down an incline the brake pedal drifter to the floor. He felt that ther may be a problem with the master cylinder or the hydrolics as the brake fluid level was fine. Hummer towed the H3 to the nearest dealer about an hour and a half away. They received the car on Thursday and to date they have not been able to find any problem. The H3 was pruchased Nov 2005 and has 13300 miles on it. Any suggestions Replies to this message: tired_old_dave (Apr 07, 2007 8:54 am) extech2 (Apr 07, 2007 1:14 pm) tired_old_dave (Apr 07, 2007 4:04 pm)

Replying to: hldon (Apr 07, 2007 6:50 am) Read about this before and just checked that forum,    air in the system. Understand your concern, our ford conversion vans would do that at times sitting at a light and would cause us to shift into neutral and get ready to apply the e-brake. Research back then talked about replacing the master cylinder with a better one from a ford truck.   And one of our vans had a squeal (2 years)that most of the ntx dealers "could not duplicate". b-h and myself, with the engine cover off, found it coming from the abs unit and paid yet another dealer to bleed the system including the abs with the magic box with the toggle switches.   Another hummer dealer maybe.

Replying to: hldon (Apr 07, 2007 6:50 am) Usually before a brake master cylinder fails completely there will be a few intermittent problems like this.

Replying to: hldon (Apr 07, 2007 6:50 am) Saw that you joined and got the same answer (master cylinder) that was given before. Did you go back to 01/07 and see the last response from that poster about air. Either way, hope you get the answer on Monday and report back here also.
#19 of 60 exterior maintenance by fernieiii Apr 20, 2007 (6:20 pm)
I am new to this forum, a quick question concerning detailing of exterior plastic/rubber parts. Any suggestions on keeping these black? Replies to this message: mac24 (Apr 20, 2007 6:33 pm)
#20 of 60 Re: exterior maintenance [fernieiii] by mac24 Apr 20, 2007 (6:33 pm)
Replying to: fernieiii (Apr 20, 2007 6:20 pm) First, try not to get polish on them. There are a variety of 'Back to Black' type products out there. Generally, the more expensive ones work best.   There are better forums here than this Hummer one for that sort of enquiry. Maybe one of our hosts can direct you?
