Vehicle---2006 H3 with 22,000 miles.

Iposted a question recently regarding a non-descript noise/vibration in the engine compartment--Dealer noticed a missing bolt used to hold exhaust shroud in place. Fixed!

I also mentioned (to the dealer) a slight shudder/miss in the engine at idle and the sudden onset of very poor gas mileage. Check Engine light was NEVERilluminated. Guess What? A new cylinder head is on order. He found one valve was sticking and the replacement parts will arrive within 2 weeks. Hopefully, the new head is an improved version.

Is it true that GM is extending warranties due to this problem? If so, does anyone have the facts and a contact number?

 

Uum..Not to be rude and I am sorry for the hassle your faced with on your engine deal....But just read the threads stuckat the top of the H3 section here...you're not alone

 

WHAT???......I feel as though I have been chastised.

 

Tell ya what...I'll just move it over to the H3 section and pin it to the top with the rest...

 

Yep, thatis the most appropriate location. Thanks Dennis.

 

My pleasure buddy...Good luck on your engine fix..

 

Not to ruffle your feathers Dennis (because I know you wear them ), I think the fact he had a head problem with NO check engine light is a pretty significant find, considering I had the same problem he did.

 

yES YOU CAN CALL ME bIG bIRD..

Seriously, I understand that too Mikey..Because Sarah had the SAME situation...

 

Oh yeah, sorry, I was mixing it up with it producing error codes. I remember now. The light would NOT come on, but still produce the error code. That's what I was thinking about. I guess I'm wearing the feathers now.....................

 

I have been noticing what sounds like the noise you describe from the engine compartment, so it was a missing screw in your exhaust shroud huh? I have looked for something making the noise but havnt found anything, I'll take a look at my exhaust..
