Fed Up with Maintenance Problems

shelle · 08-25-2003, 08:19 AM

All,

I have had a min. of 10 and probably at least 15 check engine lights fixed at the dealership, radio quit working several times, air suspension gone haywire leaving driver's rear side sagging 3 inches, etc., etc. I've hade it about a year and have 19k miles on it.

....leaving me to question a) do I have a lemon or b) are the H2s all full of maintenance problems?

I love the concept, and the H2 is a monster off-road. I wish I wasn't faced with this dilemma, but after having the check engine light come back on 30 miles after getting it fixed again, I am looking into options.

Please let me know your service experience.

Thanks,

Steve

So far (16k miles-July '02) I've had the ECM, AC dash module, drivers seat control module, and the whole exhaust replaced--under warranty. Seems far in excess of "normal", but---"knock-on-wood", everything is good now!

I have had mine since mid-July of '02 with no problems at all other than the front windshield moulding coming loose.

I've had my Black H2 since December '02 and have not had a single problem like you have described. I woudl say that with all of the problems, yes. It is a lemon.

Just curious, what was the ride like when you had 3" lower on the driver side airbag problem? I have been searching for a way to lower by 2" to fit in my garage. I am wondering if a regulated deflation/inflation of the suspension airbags is an option. Any ideas?

There was no noticeable difference in the ride - just visibly, it looked quite odd to see one side lopsided!

Sorry to hear you've been having so many problems. Here's someone else who sounds like they've had quite a lot of problems with their H2 also:

I've had a few problems with mine since I bought it, most notably my transfer case and the air suspension. But the dealer fixed everything and so far so good.
