HVAC SYSTEM FAN BLOWER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY...SOMETIMES THE FAN BLOWER DOESN'T WORK OR STOPS WORKING ALTOGETHER CAUSING A MAJOR PROBLEMS ON COLD OR FOGGY DAYS WHEN YOU NEED THE DEFROST TO WORK. REPORTED THIS TO GM DEALER BUT NO REPAIRS MADE. *TR

I OWN A HUMMER H3 2006 MODEL. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. NO ACCIDENTS. THE ROOF POOLS WATER BECAUSE OF A FAULTY DRAINAGE SYSTEM. THE WATER THEN COMES OUT THROUGH THE ROOF IN LARGE AMOUNTS AND THROUGH THE SIDE WALLS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER SPILLING ONTO THE DRIVER, OR AN ELECTRICAL FIRE OR MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION. IT CAN ALSO CAUSE MOLD IN THE INTERIOR DUE TO LARGE COLLECTIONS OF WATER STAGNATING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS RECORDED IN GM FORUMS - YET THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE FAULTY DRAIN PIPES. *TR

LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY HOME WHEN MY H3 CAB FILLED WITH SMOKE BLOCKING MY VISION AND THE A/C BLOWER STOPPED...I NEARLY DROVE INTO A TREE...IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED, I WOULD BE DEAD. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL SHOP, AS CLOSE AS I COULD GET...ANYWAY MY DEALER WAS SHUT DOWN AS GM WENT INTO BANKRUPTCY. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT A WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR BURNED OUT, CREATING THE SMOKE AND CUTTING THE BLOWER OFF (SEE PHOTOS). I REPORTED THIS TO GM, ASKING THEM FOR REFUND OF COSTS AND TO INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER. THEY REFUSED BECAUSE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY! I BELIEVE THEY ARE COVERING UP A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING FLAW...WHEN THE MECHANIC PHONED GM FOR THE WIRING HARNESS SECTION INVOLVED, THEY HAD IT IN STOCK READY TO GO...EVIDENTLY, GM KNOWS OF THIS FLAW. IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY, SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED BY IT! *TR UPDATED 08/20/09.*JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR CONDITIONING SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING.

I WAS LEAVING A FRIENDS HOUSE AND HAD TO DRIVE THROUGH A SMALL DITCH AND MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. THIS IS A HUMMER H3 AN OFF ROAD VEHICLE WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE ON A 60 DEGREE ANGLE AND THIS DITCH WAS MAYBE 2 FEET DEEP AND THE TRUCK WAS BARELY EVEN AT ANY TYPE OF ANGLE AT ALL. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2006 H3. FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR I HAVE NOTICED A WEIRD IDLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS WARMING UP. UNTIL RECENTLY I THOUGHT IT WAS THE WAY THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY. I DECIDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC. AFTER BEING INSPECTED THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE VEHICLE'S VALVES WERE NOT SEEDED RIGHT FROM THE FACTORY, WHICH HAS CAUSED THE MISFIRE, WHICH CAUSES THE WEIRD IDLE. I NOW AM IN THE PROCESS OF CONTACTING HUMMER TO SEE IF THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 61870 MILES ON IT AND I DON'T FEEL THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED THIS SOON IN THE VEHICLES LIFE. SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN WARRANTED AND I WOULD LIKE TO FIND A REASONABLE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. *TR
