2006 HUMMER H3 Complaints

I HAVE A 2006 HUMMER H3 AND I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY IGNITION SWITCH CUTTING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD . THERE ARE TIMES THAT MY CAR WILL NOT START DO TO THIS. I'VE HAD IT TESTED AND IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT I'M TAKING ABOUT. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING RECALLED!!!!! SOMEONE'S LIFE CAN BE TAKEN AWAY FOR SOMETHING THAT KEEPS HAPPENING TO THESE HUMMER H3!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STRUCTURAL FRAME COMPLETELY RUSTED. ALSO, THE LEAF SPRINGS WERE FRACTURED, WHICH WERE A MAJOR PART OF THE VEHICLE'S STRUCTURE AND COULD DAMAGE THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SECOND CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING AND THE HEAD GASKET AND/OR CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

APPROXIMATELY AT 150,000 MILES, WHILE MAKING A DELIVERY AT THE COUNTY DISPOSAL FACILITY, WHILE MOVING SLOWLY AND PARKING AT EACH STATION, THE ENGINE STARTED CUTTING OFF AND IDLING VERY POORLY, SLIGHTLY KNOCKING. I MADE IT HOME CHECKED THE OIL' WHICH READ LOW, SO I CHANGED THE OIL, OVER 5 QUARTS REMOVED, IT ONLY REQUIRES 6 QTS MAX, AND I REPLACED IT WITH 5 QUARTS OF FULL SYNTHETIC, WITH BG CLEANERS. INITIALLY IT STARTED, IDLED, AND RAN BETTER BUT AFTER 30 MINUTES THE ENGINE KNOCKS RESUMED. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE ASSESSED AND DIAGNOSED IT, CONCLUDING THAT THE ENGINE WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACING. I HAD IT THAT CONFIRMED WITH ANOTHER MECHANIC. WENT ON THE HUMMER FORUM BLOGS AND READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ENGINE AND PISTONS WARPING OR DYING BETWEEN 75K-150K. MOST BLAMING GM FOR PUTTING IN DEFECTIVE PISTONS OR AND UNDERSIZED ENGINE 3.5L IN A HEAVY ALL 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE? NOT SURE WHERE TO GO FROM HERE, A USED OR REFURBISHED ENGINE IS $2500-$3500, WITH INSTALLATION ANOTHER$3000-$3500? I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S WORTH THE STEEP INVESTMENT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A FIRE STARTED UNDER THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE WIRING HARNESS MELTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POSITIVE WIRE WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V421000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF LEAFSPRING/REAR SUSPENSION. TURNING OUT ONTO ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD SNAP, STEERING WENT CRAZY, ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF CAR. SAW SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WEB. SOME ENDING IN THE TRUCK FLIPPING END OVER END. SEE COMMON THREAD...BAD WELD IN LEAF SPRING AND IT SNAPS RANDOMLY OVER TIME AT WELD. NOTICED SOMEONE ON FORUMS ALSO COMPLAINED WITH THIS NHTSA TRACKING NUMBER (10838131). PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND FUNCTIONS TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH, IS VERY UNSAFE AT NIGHT. IT ALSO PREVENTS STARTING THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY UNTIL YOU WAIT 10 MINUTES, AFTER IT RESETS.

THE ANTI-THEFT ENGAGES RANDOMLY AND PREVENTS ME FROM STARTING MY CAR. THIS IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT BUT COULD ENDANGER MY SAFETY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LISTED ABOUT THIS DEFECT BY OTHER H3 OWNERS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR LESS THAN 1 MONTH AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED BUT FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V421000 (VISIBILITY); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,203. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

2006 HUMMER H3 SECURITY LOCKOUT ENGAGES RANDOMLY. HAVE REPEATED OCCURRENCES OF ENGINE NOT ENGAGING UPON ENTRANCE TO VEHICLE. HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE IGNITION WILL WORK AGAIN. PROBLEM OCCURS APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES A WEEK. RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2006 H3.
