THE AIR CONDITIONING BEGAN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY TWO YEARS AGO. ABOUT A YEAR AGO IT STOPPED COMPLETELY. THE ISSUE IS RELATED TO OVERHEATING OR MELTING OF AN ELECTRICAL COMPONENT (OURS HAS MELTED AND IS VISIBLE) AND I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE OVER A MONTH AGO BUT THE PART IS STILL UNAVAILABLE TO DO THE REPAIR. I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE THE TEMPERATURES ARE HIGH MOST OF THE YEAR SO I HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF FULL USE OF MY VEHICLE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. I BELIEVE GM NEEDS TO DO BETTER TO GET THESE ISSUES RESOLVED AS OUR LOSS OF USE IS NOT IN ANY OTHER MEANS BEING COMPENSATED. THIS IS FRUSTRATING AND DISAPPOINTING AND WE NEED IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION. IT IS A FREQUENT, KNOWN, RECURRING AND COSTLY ISSUE.

I OWN A 2008 HUMMER H3 AND FOR THE PAST 4 1/2 YEARS I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ISSUES RELATED TO ENGINE NOT STARTING WHEN YOU FIRST GET IN. IF YOU WAIT EXACTLY 10 MINUTES, IT STARTS JUST FINE. I HAVE HAD DEALERSHIPS AND REPAIR SHOPS LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS CAUSING THIS INTERMITANT PROBLEM. THE COMPANY THAT INSTALLED MY ALARM SYSTEM THOUGHT IT COULD BE THE IGNITION AND/OR THE PASSLOCK. APPARENTLY, THE PASSLOCK IS WHAT THINKS YOUR CAR IS BEING STOLEN AND SHUTS IT DOWN FOR 10 MINUTES. HOWEVER, THEY ARE EACH $600 AND NO GUARANTEE THAT EITHER IS THE PROBLEM AND THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. AFTER READING SOME HUMMER FORUM THIS APPEARS TO BE A GLOBAL PROBLEM WITH ALL HUMMERS FROM 2006 TO 2010 AND GM REFUSES TO ADMIT THEY HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND WILL NOT SUBMIT A RECALL FOR THE FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH.
