HEATED SEATS WILL TURN ON AT VARIOUS TIMES. BELIEVE IT TO BE FROM THE SHUTTING OF THE DOOR. HAVE CHECKED THE SWITCH UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND NOTED IT IN THE OFF POSITION AND WHEN DRIVING HAVING THE SEAT HEAT UP. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. AFTER LOSING POWER, THE ENGINE RAN ROUGH AT THE DECELERATED SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP CORRECTED CIRCUIT #239. THE SECOND TIME THERE WAS A LOSE TERMINAL. THE THIRD TIME THE #1 CYLINDER COIL WAS REPLACED AND THE FOURTH TIME THERE WAS A LOSE WIRE. THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING ON ONLY FOUR CYLINDERS. THE PROBLEM RECURRED AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE, NO WARNINGS, NO LIGHTS ON DASH. CAR UNDER WARRANTY, ONLY 9000 MILES. CAR DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS, DID NO REPAIRS. ADVISED US TO WAIT UNTIL THE PROBLEM REPEATS ITSELF. WAS ABLE TO KEEP CAR UNDER CONTROL AND MANAGED TO GET IT STOPPED. HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENED IN A RURAL AREA WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC. DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING UNTIL THE PROBLEM REPEATS ITSELF!*JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, A CHILD IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE CHILD FELL OUT AND SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. THEY DETERMINED THIS WAS A DESIGN ISSUE DUE TO NO CHILD SAFETY LOCKS ON THE DOORS.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE MESSAGE CENTER READ, POWER REDUCED AND ASC FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 35 MPH DURING THE POWER FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT AND TOWED TO THE DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS. THE OTHER 2 OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER. IT WAS DETERMINED THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS FAILED; HOWEVER THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR DOORS DO NOT HAVE SAFETY LOCKS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO ANY GEAR THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK, BUT THE CHILDREN ARE STILL ABLE TO UNLOCK THE REAR DOORS. THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK FEATURE IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THIS MODEL, BUT IS AVAILABLE ON OTHER GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCTS.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE MYSTERIOUSLY SUCKED UP A GARAGE BAG. THE BAG WRAPPED AROUND THE DRIVESHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH DETERMINED THE DRIVESHAFT NEEDED REPLACED.

A FEW MOMENTS LATER THE CONTACT PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN MOTION, THE BACK DOOR FLEW OPEN. AS A RESULT OF THE DOOR OPENING, THE CHILD'S ENTIRE ARM WAS STUCK OUT OF THE VEHICLE TRYING TO GRAB HOLD OF THE DOOR. THE CHILD WAS PROPERLY BUCKLED IN THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT AND SUFFERED NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED AND INFORMED OF THE CONCERN OVER THE DOORS NOT HAVING THE CHILD PROOF LOCKS DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. UPDATED 3/20/2006 - *NM

IN A TEST DRIVE I FIND THAT THE HUMMER H3 HAS THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TOO CLOSE, THE SHOES LIPS GET STUCK IN THE BACK OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN I TRY TO BRAKE IN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THIS MAY CAUSE FUTURE ACCIDENTS. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY REPLAY THAT THERE IS NO PLAN TO FIX THIS DEFECT. I HAD A WORK BOOT ON AT THE TIME OF THE TEST. *JB
