I HAVE OWNED MY HUMMER H3 FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 YEARS AND DURING THE LAST 4 TO 5 YEARS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A REPETITIVE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING AND THEN AFTER WAITING 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTS WITH NO ISSUES. THIS OF COURSE HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW, BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE/INCONVENIENCE. I HAVE COMMUNICATED THIS TO GM AND THEIR ANSWER IS THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL AND THEY SOUND SOMEWHAT SURPRISED WITH THE ISSUE AS IF THEY ARE HEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND HAVE WITNESSED THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER HUMMER CUSTOMERS. SOME HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO ACHIEVE TEMPORARY OR NO RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM HOPING THAT MY TESTIMONY TO THIS ISSUE WILL FURTHER CORROBORATE/JUSTIFY OTHER COMPLAINS ALREADY FILED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND INFLUENCE A CORRECTIVE ACTION RESPONSE "RECALL" FROM GM.

THE VEHICLE JUST LOST POWER AND ALMOST LOST IGNITION WHILE DRIVING 50 MILES AN HOUR. DIAGNOSTIC CODE STATE, MISFIRE IN CYLINDER ONE. VALVE SPRINGS ( ROCKER ARM) ARE BREAKING PREMATURELY CAUSING A LEAKING VALVE PROBLEM. MECHANIC ALSO NOTICED OTHER SPRINGS WERE FATIQUED CAUSING A LOOSER THAN NORMAL SEATING. GM SERVICE MANAGER MENTION A SPRING PROBLEM ON 2006 2007 RENDEVOUS. ONE OF THE LARGEST COMPLAINTS WITH THE HUMMER 3 IS THIS LEAKY VALVE SYNDROM WHICH THE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT. SOME OCCURING WITH THE VEHICLE HAVING ONLY 30,000 PLUS MILES.
