2007 HUMMER H3 Complaints

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND THE HEATER FAN QUIT. HAD CUT OUT A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE AND COME BACK ON. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE 25,000 MILES. NO CODE EVER INDICATED SO DEALERS WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE TRANSMISSION UNTIL 1ST AND 2ND GEARS FAILED. PROBLEM OF INCORRECT SHIFTING CONTINUED WITH SEVERAL STOPS AT THE DEALERSHIP. NO CODE NO SERVICE. NOW THE TRANSMISSION SLAMMED IN REVERSE INITIATING A CODE (SPEED SENSOR PASS/FAIL). AFTER AGREEING TO REPLACE THE PORTION OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT CONTAINS THE SHORTED SPEED SENSOR, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE TRANSMISSION WAS CONTAMINATED BY RADIATOR FLUID. NOW THE RADIATOR, NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, ALSO MUST BE REPLACED WITH THE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION. RESEARCHING HUMMER FORUMS, THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE SPEED SENSOR AND RADIATOR CONTAMINATION THAT IS BEING IGNORED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION FAILED TO RECOGNIZED THE KEY, CAUSING THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONER ON. IT WORKED BUT SUDDENLY STOPPED BLOWING AIR. I TOOK IT IN AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR HAD GONE OUT. I HAD IT REPLACED ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN ONE WEEK LATER BUT THIS TIME I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. THE WIRING HAD BURNED GOING TO THE RESISTOR. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THIS HAPPENS OFTEN WITH THESE VEHICLES AND HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE HUMMER H3. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL SO THAT NO ONE GETS HURT. IF I HAD A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT, THEY WOULD HAVE RECEIVED BURNS ON THEIR FEET FROM THE WIRING MALFUNCTION AND BURNING. I AGAIN AM HAVING TO PAY TO GET THIS CORRECTED.

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.
