I bought my 2007 hummerh3 used w/124,000 miles. I've had it a month and already had it in mechanic shop due to not starting. The mechanic thought it was a fuel relay and charged me 258.00 parts/labor/tow. Today 11-16-21, only a day after I got it back, it stopped on me again!! Just had it towed again. Just learning that this is a common problem! Is anything being done to rectify this problem?

ON 3/13/2020 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2007 HUMMER H3 WHEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND DASH AREA CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR MODULE HAD BEEN REPLACED RECENTLY AS PART OF A SAFETY RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND SHE HAD JUST MADE A LEFT TURN. ALTHOUGH THE PART HAD BEEN REPLACED, I STILL BELIEVE THAT THIS RECALL ISSUE WAS THE CAUSE OF SAID FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED IT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL. THIS WAS TRAUMATIC FOR MY WIFE SHE HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD A MISCARRIAGE.

Summary

WENT OUT TO START H3, TURNED KEY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. PASSLOCK/SECURITY SYSTEM INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN IS BAD. CAR WON'T START. IS UNSAFE AND WILL STRAND OWNER WITHOUT WARNING BY NOT STARTING. GOES INTO SECURITY MODE. WAS TOLD TO WAIT 10 MIN AND TRY AGAIN. CAN'T TURN IT OFF AT GAS PUMP FOR FEAR OF IT LOCKING ME OUT AND NOT STARTING. I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME 4 TIMES IN ONE DAY. SO MANY COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND PEOPLE TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THERE IS EVEN A COMPANY SELLING A PART TO BYPASS THIS AND THE SECURITY SYSTEM WHICH AGAIN IS ANOTHER ISSUE. GM IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. STRANDING PEOPLE CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND THE CAR WON'T START. ALL AROUND BAD BUSINESS BY GM FOR NOT ISSUING THIS RECALL. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE WHICH GM MANAGER SAID ON THE PHONE. THESE H3'S ARE KNOW FROM THIS FRESH OFF THE DEALERSHIP FLOOR. PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND REPLACING THE PART WHEN THE LABOR COSTS MORE THAN THE PART. SEEM LIKE A MONOPOLY FOR GM AND ITS DEALERSHIPS. I HAVE SEEN ANYWHERE FROM 1500-2000.00 TO INSTALL AND RECTIFY THIS BAD PART AT THE GM DEALERSHIPS.

Summary

SIR/MA'AM, I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE 2007 HUMMER H3 SECURITY SYSTEM NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO START UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE TO HIGH STANDARDS AND OVER THE LAST 8 MONTHS HAVE HAD ISSUES STARTING MY HUMMER. WHEN THE HUMMER DOES NOT START, YOU MUST WAIT 10-15 MINUTES TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OVER, BUT NO FUEL IS SENT TO THE ENGINE TO START. IF IT DOESN'T START AGAIN, YOU MUST WAIT ANOTHER 10-15 MINUTES. THE LATTER HAS HAPPENED TO ME 5 OR 6 TIMES IN JUST THE LAST 2 MONTHS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO GM ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE, AND HAS FALLEN ON DEAF EARS. MANY VEHICLE FORUM USERS COMPLAIN OF THE EXACT ISSUE AS WELL, WITH ZERO ASSISTANCE FROM GM AS SEEN HERE: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-C8039_DS531571 I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE SPORADIC SECURITY LOCKDOWN (PASSLOCK) OCCURS WHILE DRIVING, FUEL IS CUT OFF FROM THE RUNNING ENGINE, SPEED/STEERING/BRAKING WILL BE MINIMIZED, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH IS INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY. PLEASE ADVISE GM THERE NEEDS TO BE A FIX FOR THIS AND ENSURE THEY COMPLY! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I BELIEVE MY PHOTOS OF THE BLOWER MOTOR FAN RESISTOR BEING BURNT HELPED GET GM ISSUE A RECALL, AND I HOPE THIS WILL URGE THEM TO FIX AS WELL

YESTERDAY, JANUARY 9, 2018, THE LOUVRE ON THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE BLEW OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RUN OVER BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND BROKEN. LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT. IN RESEARCHING THE REPLACEMENT PART, I CAME TO LEARN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED CADILLAC OF DUBLIN TO REPLACE/REPAIR THE LOUVRE. THEY THEN INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN DONE AT JEFF WYLER IN KY. THIS IS CATEGORICALLY UNTRUE. CLEARLY, THE RECALL WAS NOT DONE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO GLUE RESIDUE ANYWHERE ON MY VEHICLE OR THE LOUVRE. MOREOVER, HAD JEFF WYLER ACTUALLY PERFORMED THE RECALL, IT FAILED. MISERABLY. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE PART NOR THE REPLACEMENT THEREOF. THE INFORMATION IN THE RECALL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED/UPDATED/REVISED TO ACCURATELY REFLECT THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT DONE, SO THAT I CAN ACTUALLY HAVE THE SITUATION CORRECTED/REQUIRED WORK PERFORMED.

THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO BE DEAD: SOMETIMES STARTS, SOMETIMES DOESN'T. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE AND PROBLEM REMAINS. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? I LOVE MY HUMMER, BUT I AM AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE IN IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET STRANDED WHEN IT IS BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE. CURRENTLY I HAVE TO CARRY A SPARE BATTERY AND JUMPER CABLES IN MY BACKSEAT JUST TO GET IT STARTED WHEN THIS PROBLEM ACTS UP. ALSO AFFECTING MY ABILITY TO WORK AND TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY. STRONGLY SUGGEST A CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE NOTICED STEADY WATER DROPS DRIPPING ONTO FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERS AND THEY "PERFORMED WATER TEST" WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I DECIDED TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE IN THE RAIN AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A STEADY STREAM OF WATER SEEN FLOWING DOWN MY WINDSHIELD ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I RAISED THE HOOD AND SAW THAT RAIN WAS FLOWING AROUND AND DOWN INTO THE AIR INTAKE COVER. I COULD ACTUALLY SEE THE RAIN FLOWING DOWN THERE AND THEN DRIPPING FROM UNDER MY GLOVE BOX AREA ONTO THE FLOOR. THERE IS A LOT OF VISIBLE ELECTRICAL STUFF GOING ON UNDER THERE AND THIS BOTHERS ME MORE THAN THE WET DAMP ODOR THAT IS NOW COMING FROM MY FLOOR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY WET OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS DUE TO RAIN.

I HAVE OWNED MY HUMMER H3 FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 YEARS AND DURING THE LAST 4 TO 5 YEARS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A REPETITIVE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING AND THEN AFTER WAITING 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTS WITH NO ISSUES. THIS OF COURSE HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW, BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE/INCONVENIENCE. I HAVE COMMUNICATED THIS TO GM AND THEIR ANSWER IS THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL AND THEY SOUND SOMEWHAT SURPRISED WITH THE ISSUE AS IF THEY ARE HEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND HAVE WITNESSED THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER HUMMER CUSTOMERS. SOME HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO ACHIEVE TEMPORARY OR NO RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM HOPING THAT MY TESTIMONY TO THIS ISSUE WILL FURTHER CORROBORATE/JUSTIFY OTHER COMPLAINS ALREADY FILED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND INFLUENCE A CORRECTIVE ACTION RESPONSE "RECALL" FROM GM.

Summary

I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM HUMMER (GM) IN AUGUST 2015 FOR MY 2007 HUMMER H3. IT IS SAFETY RECALL 15042. THE LETTER INDICATED THAT IT WAS A SAFETY RECALL STATING THE CONNECTOR MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE BLOWER MOTOR SPEED IN THE HEAT/VENT/AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) SYSTEM MAY OVERHEAT UNDER EXTENDED OPERATIONAL PERIODS AT HIGH AND MEDIUM-HIGH BLOWER SPEEDS. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS THERE COULD BE A RISK OF FIRE. THE LETTER SAID PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE AND WHEN THEY WERE I WOULD BE CONTACTED TO ARRANGE A SERVICE APPOINT. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS AND NO CALL, I CONTACTED THE NUMBER, 1-800-833-6537, AND ASKED WHAT THE HOLD-UP IS ON THE PARTS? I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE STILL UNAVAILABLE. AFTER SEVERAL MORE MONTHS, I CALLED AGAIN ONLY TO RECEIVE THE SAME EXCUSE WITH NO PROJECTED DATE OF ARRIVAL. TO ME THIS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY THIS RECALL INVOLVES A POTENTIAL RISK OF A FIRE. IT IS NOW MARCH 2016 AND I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES SO LONG TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENTS. I AM HESITANT TO USE THE BLOWER MOTOR BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FIRE RISK.

Summary

THE RADIATOR HAS A CRACK IN IT WHICH IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE...NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MY H3 WAS IDLING ROUGH AND WOULD SHUT OFF. HAD TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND SOLENOID. THE ANTI-THEFT ACTS UP AND THE H3 WON'T START HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES. THE AC BLOWER AND CONNECTOR BURNT PAID FOR IT TO GET FIXED THEN THE RECALL COMES OUT 7 DAYS LATER....STILL HAVEN'T BEEN REFUNDED FOR THAT. I HAVE ALL THE ISSUES ON MY 2007 H3 THAT SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED AND FIXED AT GM EXPENSE. SUNROOF DRAINS GET CLOGGED ALL THE TIME AND HAVE WATER LEAK ONTO THE FLOOR WHICH MAKES THE ABS LIGHT TRIGGER ON AND OFF. ISSUE AFTER ISSUE WHICH GM DOESN'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S TIME TO SELL THE HUMMER H3!!

OUR 2007 HUMMER H3'S AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING IN MAY, 2014. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND BURNED/MELTED WIRES AND COMPONENTS RELATED TO THE BLOWER RELAY. THEY REPLACED PARTS AND WIRES TO RETURN THE A/C TO WORKING ORDER. RECENTLY, WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE RELATED TO THIS HAZARD, BUT GM DOESN'T HAVE A SOLUTION YET. TODAY, THE SELECTOR ON THE A/C HAS STOPPED WORKING. WE HAVE A SERIOUS CONCERN THAT WIRES AND COMPONENTS MIGHT BE BURNING AGAIN. WE HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE CAR. HOW CAN GM GET AWAY WITH THIS DANGEROUS HAZARD AND NOT FIX OUR CAR? I SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE. WHAT OTHER AGENCY OF THE GOVERNMENT CAN INFLUENCE THE CAR MANUFACTURER TO REMEDY THIS POTENTIALLY-DEADLY DEFECT?

3-4 MONTHS AGO MY A/C UNIT STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE WITH A BURNING SMELL WHEN I WOULD PUT MY A/C SWITCH ON LEVEL 3 OR 4. IT WOULD SOUND LIKE IF MY A/C UNIT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM THE HUMMER COMPANY DESCRIVING THE SAME SYMPTOMS MY H3 A/C UNIT IS HAVING.I CALLED THE HUMMER COMPANY AND ASKED THEM HOW LONG IS GOING TO TAKE FOR THEM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THEY STATED IN A VERY RUDE MANNER THAT THEY WILL FIX IT WHEN EVER THEY GET THE PART. THIS IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER I . I ASKED THEM IF IT CAN TAKE MORE THAN A YEAR AND THEY RESPONDED WE DO NOT KNOW. I GOT VERY UPSET BECAUSE ITS NOT FAIR THAT I SPEND A LOT OF MY MONEY TO BUY MY H3 AND IF ITS A RECALL WHY THEY DONT HELP ME TO FIX MY PROBLEM, I EXPLAIN TO THEM THAT THE WEATHER IN TEXAS IS VERY HOT AND I BEEN WITHOUT A/C SINCE AND THEY DONT CARE. THIS IS NOT FAIR PLEASE HELP ME OUT. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE, PLEASE ADVISE. HELP!!!!!!!!

Summary

OUR 2007 H3 HAD CRACKED RADIATOR WITH HOSE LEAKING COOLANT CAUSING THE OVERHEATING. WE HAVE NEVER DRIVEN THE VEHICLE OFF-ROADING AND NO WARNING LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED FOR THIS ISSUE. INSTEAD, WE BROUGHT IT IN FOR A DIFFERENT ISSUE WITH THE FUEL LINE AND DISCOVERED THE CRACKED RADIATOR, WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A BIGGER PROBLEM IF IT HAD GONE UNDISCOVERED FOR LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.

INTERMITTENTLY WILL CRANK BUT WILL NOT START. HOWEVER, IT WILL START AFTER A 10 MINUTE (NO LESS) WAITING PERIOD. THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS TIMES OF DAY, VARIOUS OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES, AND WITH FIRST MORNING STARTS OR AFTER DRIVING AND SHUTTING DOWN FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. THIS IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT, TO SAY THE LEAST, WHEN IT OCCURS WHILE ON TIME RESTRAINTS OR DURING AN EMERGENCY SITUATION (I.E. 10 MINUTES IS TOO LONG TO WAIT WHEN TRYING TO GET TO A HOSPITAL WHERE A LOVED ONE/FAMILY MEMBER IS CLINGING TO LIFE)

Summary

TODAY I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU FOR YOUR HELP. THIS LETTER IS IN REFERENCE TO THE GM RECALL ON THE HUMMER H3 A/C MODULE RESISTOR THAT WAS ISSUED IN JULY OF 2015. MY WIFE AND I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SITE. I ASK THAT THE NHTSA DEMAND GM ESTABLISH A TIMELINE FOR THE COMPLETION OF A CORRECTED PART AND THAT GM PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE ALTERNATIVE OPTION TO GM CUSTOMERS FACED WITH THIS ISSUE UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. MY CONCERN IS OVER MY WELL-BEING AS WELL AS MY FAMILIES. ON MONDAY AUGUST 31, 2015, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY GLOVE BOX. AFTER I PULLED OVER AND EXAMINED CLOSER I COULD SEE THE ISSUE WAS FROM THE A/C MODULE RESISTER THAT WAS RECENTLY RECALLED. THE RESISTER HAD BURNED THROUGH PART OF THE HARNESS ATTACHMENT. UPON REACHING OUT TO GM, THEY STATED I ONLY HAD TWO COURSES OF ACTION: 1) TO REPLACE THE PART WITH ANOTHER FAULTY PART (WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR) AND HOPE THAT THE PART DOES NOT SHORT / CATCH FIRE BEFORE THEY ARE ABLE TO COME OUT WITH THE CORRECTED PART (WHICH WOULD BE FREE). 2) WAIT FOR A CORRECTED PART TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MAIN ISSUES WITH THE SECOND OPTION ARE THAT GM HAS NO TIMELINE FOR THE COMPLETION/AVAILABILITY OF THE CORRECTED AC MODULE RESISTOR (CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID ANYWHERE FROM 1 MONTH TO MULTIPLE YEARS). THIS WOULD LEAVE THE CUSTOMER (WITHOUT HEAT OR A/C) FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. MY CURRENT WORK COMMUTE TOTALS 2 HOURS EVERY DAY. WHERE I LIVE THIS BECOMES PROBLEMATIC DUE TO SEVERE SUMMER / WINTER CLIMATES (AS I WRITE TO YOU THERE ARE HEAT WARNINGS IN EFFECT). GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE 2009, YET THEY FAILED TO ACT. NOW THE CONSUMER IS FORCED TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ILL PLANNING AND NEGLECT WHILE GM CONTINUES TO ACT INEPT. PLEASE HELP GM REALIZE THAT GM CUSTOMER LIVES MATTER.

ADVISED THAT PASSENGER AIR BAG MAY NOT EMPLOY DUE TO NEEDED REPLACEMENT. COST $140 FOR DIAGNOSIS; AND $1200 FOR SENSOR REPLACEMENT. BEING UNABLE TO AFFORD THIS COSTLY REPAIR, AND BELIEVING THIS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE HUMMER ITSELF, WE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REPORT SAFETY ISSUE. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE PART OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY SENSOR. THERE HAD BEEN NO ACCIDENT OR REASON FOR DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG. SENSOR, FOR UNEXPLAINED REASONS, JUST STOP WORKING. AT THIS TIME, WE STILL HAVE NOT FIXED THIS. IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, WE HAVE TALKED TO THREE SEPERATE OWNERS OF THE 2007 HUMMER H3, WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND HAVE HIT THE SAME WALL WITH GM. WE, AND THE OTHER OWNERS, CONSIDER THIS TO BE A EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, AND LEADING TO RECALL FOR FAULTY SENSORS.

I HAVE A 2007 H3 HUMMER WITH 81000 MILES. THIS PAST SUMMER I GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND PUT ON MY AIR CONDITIONING ON HIGH. NOTHING CAME OUT OF THE VENTS. BLOWER MOTOR WOULDN'T EVEN MOVE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC AND IT ALL LEAD TO A BURNT OUT BLOWER MOTOR RESISTER. I HAD PURCHASED A NEW ONE AND REPLACED IT TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE IN THE PLUG FROM IT GETTING TO HOT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE H3. I TALKED TO GM SAFETY AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING AND BOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO AGE AND MILES. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS NOT TO BE A RECALL ISSUE. NO BLOWER MOTOR MEANS NO DEFROST ON YOUR WINDSHIELD. DUE TO COLD WINTERS IN NEW YORK YOU NEED THE DEFROST. NOW MY TRUCKS BLOWER MOTOR WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO DUE TO FAULTY WIRE HARNESS IN TRUCK. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE PLUG AND OLD RESISTER. THANK YOU *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, NEW IN JULY 2007. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE. ON 7/28/14, PARKED AT HOME. GOT OUT AND SMELLED COOLANT VAPORIZING (DISTINCT SMELL). I AM A RETIRED MASTER MECHANIC, WITH 44 YEARS EXPERIENCE (CURRENTLY AGE 60). I EXAMINED THE RADIATOR, RINSED IT OFF AND DRIED IT, PRESSURIZED THE SYSTEM TO DISCOVER A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE UPPER, PLASTIC TANK OF THE RADIATOR IN AN AREA WITH NO IMPINGEMENT OF OTHER COMPONENTS, NO TRAUMA, AND NO ROUGH USE, EVER. I CAUGHT IT AT THE VERY FIRST MANIFESTATION, SOLELY BY THE SMELL. EXAMINING THE VEHICLE CLOSELY TO DISCOVER WHILE MY RADIATOR HAD ONLY THIS HAIRLINE CRACK IN A LOCATION OF NO-STRESS AND NO IMPINGEMENT OF OTHER COMPONENTS. RESEARCH FURTHER TO DISCOVER THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE H3, FROM 2006, 2007, 2008 AND 2009 MODELS ALL IN THE 50,000 TO 100,000 MILE READINGS. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AT LOCAL GM DEALER, WITH COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE WAS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR REQUIRES THE RECEIVER DRYER OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM TO BE DISCONNECTED WHICH REQUIRES DISCHARGE AND RECHARGE OF REFRIGERANT R124A. I SAVED THE DEFECTIVE RADIATOR. THERE IS NO OTHER WEAR NOR DAMAGE. THE INTERNAL CORES WERE CLEAR AND CLEAN LIKE NEW. NO OBSTRUCTIONS, DIRT NOR WEAR. IN OTHER WORDS I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE A PERFECTLY GOOD RADIATOR FOR 1 HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE UPPER PLASTIC TANK. THIS REPAIR, INCLUDING ALL COURTESY DISCOUNTS FROM THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, AS I HAD BEEN AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP OWNER AND LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR 30 YEARS OF MY LIFE, COST ME $966.57. NHTSA SHOULD DO A FORMAL DEFECT INVESTIGATION ON ALL THE HUMMER H3 MODELS AND ANY / ALL OTHER GM LIKE-TYPE VEHICLES WITH THE PLASTIC TANK RADIATORS WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOYED. MY SEAT BELT LOCKED UP ON ME AND CAUTION LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS GLAD THAT NO CAR WAS AROUND BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE WRECKED. THE INSIDE OFT HUMMER WAS FILLED UP WITH GUN POWDER. I CALLED GM AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. AFTER ABOUT 2 DAYS OF CALLING THEY CAME TO PICK UP MY TRUCK. THEY FIRST ASKED ME IF I COULD DRIVE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER 25 MILES AWAY LOL NO MY AIRBAGS ARE DOWN AND I COULD NOT PUT MY SEAT BELT ON. SO NOW I HAVE A RENTAL CAR TO DRIVE TILL THEY LET ME KNOW SOMETHING. I JUST SO GLAD THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN THE DAY BEFORE WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN 95 I COULD HAVE BEEN DIED IF IT WOULD HAVE GONE OFF THEN. I HOPE GM WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

Summary

I OWN A 2007 HUMMER H3 WITH 66000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A BAD HEAD DUE TO THE USE OF SOFT METALS FOR THE CYLINDER SLEEVE. DUE TO THIS, THERE IS SUDDEN REDUCED POWER. THE COST OF THIS FIX IS ABOUT $4500.00. MY TRUCK BEGAN WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON (AUTOZONE) SAID IT WAS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER #5. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THE TRUCK. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A #5 CYLINDER HAVING THE COMPRESSION LEAK OF 90%. IN LOOKING ON THE INTERNET (AT HUMMER FORUMS), I OBSERVED THAT QUITE A FEW HUMMER H3 OWNERS WERE WRITING IN ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH MISFIRES AND BAD HEADS, AT ABOUT THE SAME MILEAGE. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND THAT GM SHOULD BE ORDERED TO DO A RECALL. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THEY HAD WITH THE 3.5L ENGINES THEY USED IN THEIR PRE-2007 HUMMER H3 AND COLORADO. I AM GOING TO WRITE MY CONGRESS REP AND ASK THAT WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT GM IS HAVING RIGHT NOW, THAT THIS ALSO BE MOVED FORWARD AND THAT THEY ORDER AN INVESTIGATION. ANY OTHER HUMMER H3 OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS SHOULD DO THE SAME THING. *TR

MY CAR BEGAN SHOW THE PASSLOCK DISABLING SYSTEM LIGHT AND THEN FAILING TO START.

THIS CYCLE HAPPENED AT RANDOM TIMES DISABLING THE AUTO WITHOUT WARNING AND IN SOME DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. IT IS A WELL KNOWN AND PUBLICIZED PROBLEM THAT GM HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE. I HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY HAVING PASSLOCK DISABLED AND IGNORING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WITH THE ASSUMPTION IT IS A FALSE WARNING. THESE RECENT EVENTS HAVE ME RECONSIDERING THAT ACTION, BUT THE COST OF HAVING THE PROBLEM RECTIFIED WOULD BE MORE THAN I COULD AFFORD. *TR

Summary

I WAS SITTING IN THE LINE AT MY SON'S SCHOOL, BEEN SITTING THERE 2 - 3 MINUTES, AND I SMELLED COOLANT. LOOKED AT MY GAUGE AND IT WAS RIDING JUST BELOW MID-POINT....NORMAL. GOT MY SON AND STARTED HOME. SITTING AT THE RED LIGHT, I SMELLED COOLANT AGAIN. THIS TIME I KNEW IT WAS MY CAR. WE WENT TO A SERVICE STATION AND ASK IF SOMEONE COULD CHECK TO SEE IF WE HAD A LEAK. THEY PULLED MY H3 INTO THE BACK AND HOOKED UP A PRESSURE "TOOL" TO THE RADIATOR AND LOW AND BEHOLD, BUT A HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE UPPER DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE RADIATOR. THE MECHANIC LAUGHED AND SAID I WAS THE 2ND ONE THIS WEEK AND THE 6TH ONE SINCE THEY OPENED 6 MONTHS AGO. HE SAID THAT H3S WERE KNOWN TO HAVE RADIATOR ISSUES BECAUSE THE RADIATORS WERE PLASTIC! SERIOUSLY...PLASTIC! I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $1,100 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR WITH ANOTHER PLASTIC ONE AND THAT WOULD GIVE ME A 2 YEAR OR 24,000 MILE WARRANTY. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK BACK TO MY HOUSE SO MY HUSBAND COULD LOOK AT IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH HUMMERS AND YET GM HAS NOT DONE A RECALL. I FOUND A NUMBER FOR HUMMER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CALLED THEM. WHEN I TOLD THE MAN THAT ANSWERED I HAD COOLANT LEAKING, HE SAID "OH, GIVE ME YOUR ZIP CODE AND I WILL FIND A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT CAN REPLACE THE RADIATOR." NO QUESTIONS...HE KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS ALREADY. HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO "INVEST" IN A DIAGNOSTIC AND IF THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT, THAT HUMMER MIGHT "PARTICIPATE" IN THE REPAIR COSTS. I WOULD THINK WITH THIS BEING SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM, A RECALL WOULD BE IN ORDER AND POSSIBLY A REPLACEMENT RADIATOR THAT ISN'T PLASTIC! *TR

SMELLED RADIATOR FLUENT WHEN I PARKED INTO THE DRIVE WAY, POPPED THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE LIQUID SPLASHED ALL OVER THE ENGINE AND PARTS AS WELL AS ON TOP OF THE PLASTIC FAN COVER, WHICH SEEMED ODD. COULDN'T FIND THE LEAK IN THE HOSE. LOOKED AT THE HUMMER FORUM THAT I'M A MEMBER OF AND LORD BEHOLD THERE WAS A BIG TOPIC OF RADIATORS CRACKING AND BREAKING IN THE SAME PLACES WITH THE 2007 MODELS. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED, SO NO RECALL HAS BEEN SUBMITTED. BUT IT'S A WELL KNOWN DEFECTIVE RADIATOR PROBLEM THAT GM KNOWS ABOUT BUT WON'T RECALL. SO THEY DECIDED TO MAKE A NEW RADIATOR THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR THE 2007 HUMMERS. THE PROBLEM IS THE MIDDLE PIN THAT HOLDS THE RADIATOR RUBS THE NECK AND STARTS A CRACKED UNDER THE STYROFOAM, THUS THE RIGHT DRIVERS SIDE CRACKS IN THE SAME SPOT AS WELL ON THE PLASTIC SIDE. HUNDREDS OF H3 OWNERS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM AND POST PICS AND WHAT NOT, BUT STILL NO RECALL. THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I HAVE SPOKE TO THE HUMMER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY CONTACTED THE LOCAL GM AND THEY SCHEDULED MY SCHEDULED DATE TO TAKE MY H3 IN FEB 17 2014, @ 8 AM AT THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL FIX THIS ISSUE AND NOT CHARGED ME TO FIX DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. BUT IT'S BEEN KNOW THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE RADIATOR AND THEY SAY IT'S DUE TO CLIMATE WHICH IS FALSE BECAUSE EVERY H3 OWNER HAS IT BREAK IN THE SAME PLACE, AND HAVE SUBMITTED COUNTLESS TICKETS. *TR

I LET OFF THE GAS IMEDIATLY AND CAME TO A SLOW CRAWL AND FOUND THAT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR. PULLED IT OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT IT OFF TO GET OUT TO FIND THAT THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID AND RADIATOR COOLANT POURING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC TO FIND OUT THAT THE RADIATOR WAS BAD WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION AND COOLANT TO MIX BETWEEN THE TWO. THIS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO BE DESTROYED ALONG WITH THE RADIATOR. FOR THIS VEHICAL BEING THIS LOW ON MILES THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPEND.

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2007 GENERAL MOTORS HUMMER H3. THE AUTO HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED BY A GM DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAS 53,600 MILES AND IS IN PERFECT MECHANICAL CONDITION EXCEPT THIS RECENT ISSUE WITH PASSLOCK SECURITY WHICH HAS RENDERED THE VEHICLE UNRELIABLE AND A PERSONAL AND PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 30 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. IN RECENT WEEKS, THE PASSLOCK SECURITY LIGHT BEGAN RANDOMLY ILLUMINATING WHILE DRIVING. THIS LIGHT COULD EXTINGUISH ON NEXT START OR STAY ILLUMINATED THROUGH SEVERAL STARTS. TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE RETURNING FROM A TRIP LATER AT NIGHT, THE VEHICLE WAS DISABLED AND FAILED TO START IN AN AIRPORT PARKING LOT. THE PASSLOCK LIGHT CONTINUALLY FLASHED AND THE ENGINE CRANKED, BUT WITHOUT STARTING. A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED, BUT BY THE TIME IT ARRIVED, AN ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE WAS SUCCESSFUL AND THE LIGHT WAS EXTINGUISHED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE SINCE IN LESS INCONVENIENT AND LESS DANGEROUS AREAS. THE VEHICLE IS UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE. I CANNOT TRUST IT TO ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR IF HER BEING MAROONED IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE DEALER HAS INDICATED IT MIGHT BE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS WELL AWARE THAT IT WAS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH GM AUTOS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET AND YET THERE IS NO RESPONSE OR ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION BY THE MANUFACTURER. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND NEED TO RELY ON MY VEHICLE, BUT CANNOT RELY ON A VEHICLE WHOSE SECURITY SYSTEM CAN DISABLE THE VEHICLE AT ANY RANDOM TIME. AS MY REPRESENTATIVE, I REQUEST THE NHTSA ADDRESS THIS WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND REMEDY THIS SAFETY CONCERN.

Summary

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT BETWEEN 25MPH AND 0. I WORK FOR THE US CENSUS BUREAU, PERMANENT WORKER AND I TRAVEL THROUGH ALL TYPES OF WEATHER CONDITIONS IN A DAY, FROM 9,000 FT MOUNTAINS COVERED IN SNOW TO DESERT GRAVEL ROADS, MESAS, CLIFFS. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVERSING MOUNTAIN ROADS COVERED IN SNOW WITH NO GUARD RAILS, AND THREE TIMES, WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, I LOST STEERING AND CAME WITHIN INCHES OF GOING OFF THE SIDE (CLIFFS) OF THESE ROADS, NOT TO MENTION IN TOWN, WHEN MY ENGINE SHUTS OFF AS I DRIVE, I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING OTHER VEHICLES OR POLES AS I LOSE POWER STEERING ON A TURN.. I HAVE TO DRIVE ABOUT 90 MILES ONE WAY TO GET IT SERVICED, WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, I HAD IT "REPAIRED" ABOUT FIVE TIMES, NO SUCCESS, ONCE WARRANTY EXPIRED, GM DEALERS 90 MILES AWAY WERE STILL WILLING TO INSPECT VEHICLE SINCE PROBLEMS STARTED WHILE UNDER FULL GM WARRANTY, BUT NOW, THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME A RENTAL AND TELL ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. MY LOCAL GM DEALER (ALAMOGORDO) REFUSES TO INSPECT VEHICLE AND THUS I AM REQUIRED TO MAKE A 180 MILE ROUND TRIP, BUT NOW, EVEN DEALER TELLS ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM IN THE SHOP. I TOOK ABOUT 6 VIDEOS WITH MY DROID AFTER THE PROBLEM HAPPENS, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM LINGERS FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, THEN IT STOPS AND THE VEHICLE WORKS FINE. THE VIDEOS HOW THE RPM'S GOING UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN, UNTIL THE CAR SHUTS OFF, I RESTART IT, THEN IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PROBLEMS USUALLY APPEAR IN THE AM, AS I DRIVE OFF FOR THE FIRST TIME, BEFORE IT IS DRIVEN A GOOD DISTANCE, BUT CAN AND HAS HAPPENED AT ANY MOMENT. VERY DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE EACH MORNING AS I LEAVE MY MOUNTAIN HOME, ESPECIALLY IN COLD SNOW WEATHER. *TR

H3 WAS GOING APROX. 35 MPH. I HAD MY SON WITH ME IN THE FRONT SEAT AND HE WAS HURT BY THE AIRBAG. I'VE SEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING WITH H3'S AND THE ISSUE SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GM. EITHER THE SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE OR IS SET TOO SENSITIVE FOR OFF-ROAD DRIVING. I'M THANKFUL IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON A BUSY FREEWAY OR ON A BUSY STREET. MY H3 HAS BEEN IN AT THE GM DEALER FOR 7 DAYS AND THEY ARE WANTING MY INSURANCE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THAT MEANS DEDUCTIBLES AND RENTAL CAR FEES FOR ME TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GM. *TR

MAVIS AND BRENDA JUMP IN THE HUMMER TO GO SEE THE DOCTOR IN TEMPLE WHICH IS ABOUT A 20 MILE TRIP. BRENDA WAS DRIVING. SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE HOUSE MAVIS STARTS SQUIRMING AROUND IN THE SEAT COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW HOT THE SEAT WAS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN THE DARN SEAT HEATER OFF. SHE THOUGHT MAYBE SHE WAS HAVING HOT FLASHES. BRENDA PULLS OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND RUNS AROUND THE HUMMER, HOPING NO ONE RUNS OVER THEM, TO TURN OFF THE SEAT HEATER. SHE TURNS THE HEATER OFF OR SO SHE THOUGHT. SHE HEADS DOWN THE ROAD AGAIN WHEN MAVIS HOLLERS THAT HER BOTTOM WAS BURNING OFF. SHE PULLS OFF THE ROAD AGAIN AND THEY FINALLY GET THE DARN THING TURNED OFF. THE SEAT AND MAVIS? BOTTOM START TO COOL DOWN. AFTER VISITING THE FAMILY DOCTOR THEY RETURNED TO KILLEEN AND MAVIS JUMPED IN OUR CAR TO HEAD FOR HOME. THE 2 HOUR TRIP FROM KILLEEN TO RED OAK TOOK NEARLY 6 HOURS.

I WAS IN A SNOW STORM AND COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I BOUGHT THE H3 TO DRIVE IN THE WINTER, HOWEVER I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE IN SNOW. NEED HELP FROM GM ON THIS ONE. *NM
