It's a love/hate relationship!
Three times while driving, the engine has cut off. Once in a parking lot, and twice while going about 75 mph on the highway. The dealership is stumped, and has replaced the ignition switch. Hopefully that will take care of it, keep your fingers crossed for me! This may sound crazy, but other than this problem, I really love my truck!

Love my vehicle because of the looks and off-roading capabilities, but would NEVER purchase another
Currently on the third battery in 1 year.
Roof molding has been replaced - 2x (parts flew off in the car wash and while driving home from CA)
Molding problems between the dash and windshield - rattle.
The power control module went out at 3 months.
I recently had door handle repaired that would shut correctly and had to be pushed to shut.
The car is very comfortable for me (woman of smaller build).
I have loved the look of the car from the first time I saw it - still do.
I enjoy the ride, but feel it is very underpowered.
Went on an off-road training sponsored by Hummer. I was absolutely AMAZED with what this can do!

The best I have ever owned
Nothing has gone wrong. This vehicle is the most reliable I have ever had!
I am in love with my H3! From the chrome package to the 2 tone leather seats there is nothing cheap or ugly about it.
The H3 is great off road as well as on the highway its like having 2 vehicles for the price of one.
Though many hate the fact that its smaller than H2 it doesn't matter to me, its the perfect size for a petite woman like me!

Gotta Love the H3
Air bag light goes on when 4 Wheeling.
I have to say I have been a Jeep Owner all my life and once test drove the H3 I had to buy one.
I just came back from a 4 day 4 wheel drive event here in Nevada and it went up against The new 4 door Jeep with no problems. I love my H3 and it has a lot of room for all your gear. OnStar has been my new fav friend as my airbag light comes on when I 4 wheel drive so do they... You can find my picture of my H3 in JP Magazine in the next coming months as they reviewed the H3 against the new 4 Door Jeep...

For this type of vehicle, one of the best, if not the best made
Transaxle control module replaced 8000 miles. Prevented 4-wheel lock drive.
Comfortable to drive on-road, great off-road. Not the fastest vehicle on the block, but can keep up quite well on the Interstates. Fuel mileage is better than most large vehicles; averaging 15/19, but it is one heavy vehicle.
I have taken this vehicle on some of the worse roads in the USA, and it never failed. I have driven cross-country, and it has not only been comfortable to drive, but great handling for a vehicle this large.

Not Worth Even Looking at an H3
It lacks the standard features that you would find on other SUVs in this price range such as steering wheel mounted cruise and audio controls and a standard six disc in dash CD changer. Not to mention the side and side curtain airbags that are standard on everything else. Plus, who makes four speed auto transmissions anymore. Also, if your going to fit a 3.5 liter into it why spend the research dollars on figuring out how to cut a cylinder off of an already outdated in-line engine. The 3.5 liters would have been better used on the Honda V6 that's in the Saturn. That way it would have been smoother, more powerful, more torque and more fuel efficient. On the other hand I have yet to reach the minimum EPA estimate and I am absolutely babying the H3. It feels to fragile to drive it hard.
The paint job is bad. I have the boulder gray (which looks nothing like the gray on the cover of the brochure) and it looks like the metallic flakes went on in waves. I parked next to a black one it I could see the orange peal on that H3 while sitting in mine.
Overall it was a great concept with tons of potential being with it being an all new vehicle. In the end it turned out being a poorly executed sum of borrowed parts.

If you hate its looks, color, and how it drives so much why don't you actually test drive and LOOK at the car you're buying next time.
The one I test drove looked fine. The one I took delivery of was out side on a dark evening. I would expect quality controls to be a little more tight. Same goes for the rest of the vehicle. The more I drive it the it bothers me.
I'm sure the Suzuki XL-7 you traded in was Ferrari class.
If you actually think the Hummer feels fragile compared with your Suzuki, I'm actually inclined to feel sorry for you, simply because you must be crazy.
The Suzuki XL-7 is known world wide for it's incredible off road prowess. I can see why you miss it so.

You are somewhere right calling your H3 a jeep, since AMG HUMMER is a former military division of AMC JEEP. The H1 is not a design to compete with a TJ, but a vehicule adapted to sand and Saddam castle climbing. Your H3 rear suspension is leaf spring design dating back to Buffalo Bill and horse carriage. The front is an independant design not even Jeep would adapt to a wrangler, mainly for its inability to perform n the rough.
