NHTSA Complaint #10456313 — 2006 HUMMER H3

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DURING EMISSION TESTING, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO FAIL. JUST HAD THE THERMOSTAT AND EVAPORATOR VALVE REPLACED THE WEEK BEFORE. THE EMISSIONS DEPARTMENT STATED THAT IT WAS A CODE P0300, MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 1. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND AFTER A COIL TEST AND COMPRESSION TEST (FAILED), THEY STATED THAT IS WAS A CYLINDER VALVE LEAKAGE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN OUT ON 2006 H3 FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THIS BULLETIN AND THAT THE MILEAGE WAS PAST THE WARRANTY. THE ONLY THING THEY COULD SUGGEST TO ME IS TO TAKE IT TO A GM CERTIFIED REPAIR FACILITY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE COMPLETE REPAIR MYSELF. *TR
