I HAD TAKEN MY 2003 H2 HUMMER TO HAVE THE FRONT END ALIGNED AND 2 NEW TIRES PLACED ON THE FRONT . I COMPLAINED TO THE TIRE DEALERSHIP THE MOMENT I HAD DRIVEN MY VEHICLE MAYBE 10 MILES OF IT NOT DRIVING RIGHT . I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES WITH COMPLAINTS OF IT NOT DRIVING RIGHT. THINKING MAYBE THEY DID NOT TIGHTENED SOMETHING BACK UP WHEN THEY DID THE ALIGNMENT . I HAD ONLY DRIVEN MY VEHICLE APPROX. 5 TIMES (4 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH COMPLAINTS)AND THE 5TH TIME I DROVE IT . I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHEN THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT I LOST ALL CONTROL AND MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED . IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT NITTO GRAPPER HAS RECALLED TIRES AND THIS WAS THE BRAND OF TIRES THAT WAS PUT ON MY VEHICLE . THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS FLAT AFTER THE CRASH AN THIS IS ONE OF THE REASON THE TIRES ARE BEING RECALLED . I BELIEVE IT WAS EITHER THE TIRES OR THE ALIGNMENT NOT PROPERLY BEING DONE THAT CAUSED MY CRASH . *TR

DRIVING 08 HUMMER H3 DOWN CITY ROAD, HIT SECTION DUG UP AND COVERED WITH DIRT/GRAVEL; MEDIUM POTHOLE SIZES. GOING 20 MPH; SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. GM SAYS IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.

1. DURING NORMAL DRIVING AND IDLEING I STARTED SEEING / HEARING THE ENGINE MISFIRE AND ILLUMINATION OF THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON (SES) I WOULD EXPERIENCE ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER OR SURGING OR IDLE ROUGHNESS. AFTER RESEARCH AND DEALER DIAGNOSIS WE FOUND THE EARLY HUMMER H3 HAS THE SAME ATLAS L52 I-5 ENGINE AS THE 04-05 CHEVROLET COLORADO. THE 04-05 CHEVEROLET COLORADO ATLAS L52 I-5 ENGINE WAS GIVEN A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR SOFT ENGINE INTAKE VALVE SEATS, EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 7 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES UNDER TSB 07123 NHTSA # 10022722. TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE HEAD IS REPLACED WITH ONE WITH HARDER VALVE SEATS. THE 2006 HUMMER H3 SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED BY THIS BULLETIN. GM HAS REFUSED TO COVER MY H3 WITH THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ENGINE SIMPLY BECAUSE NHTSA # 10022722 DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY SAY HUMMER H3. MY GM CASE # 71-805764673.
