I just have to say GM really needs to listen to its buyers. We are not happy, and most likely will buy elsewhere. Just this past week, for the second time, the head cylinder needs replacing. The first time it was under warranty, the second time, well, I simply can't afford the $2900+ to have it fixed. It's a shame that this a known issue and you can find tons of bulletin boards where people are complaining, yet, if you contact GM, you basically get the cold shoulder and "we will be more than happy to help locate you a dealer", but, "we are not paying". Its sad because I really do love my H3, and with under 70k miles and excellent care, this should not happen. For now, it will sit in my driveway until I come up with a solution. Maybe another engine? Maybe GM will eventually help? Let's see.

My engine light is on and I took it to the dealership and I need a new cylinder head. I have a code P0305 (engine misfire). I have lodged a complaint with GM Canada and was told my warranty has expired and have been turned down twice. It is a known problem but because I have low mileage it did not happen until my warranty had expired. I am a first time owner and the vehicle has been very well maintained. I am furious with the dealer as they know this is a common problem and that it will eventually happen. I am being punished because I did not rack up the miles and it happened too late, according to their warranty problem.
