2008 HUMMER H3 Complaints

THE RADIATOR HAD A CRACK IN IT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE HH3,IN 6-2011 WHICH WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW FACTORY RADIATOR. IT IS NOW MARCH 0F 2013 AND WE HAVE ANOTHER CRACK IN THE RADIATOR. WE CONTACTED" SAVVY" GOODYEAR IN LONG BEACH ,NEW YORK WHO REPLACED THE FIRST ONE AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED. REALLY DOES A RADIATOR ONLY LAST 2 YEARS. THEY INDICATED THAT GMC WOULD NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT. I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL VEHICLES SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL? *TR

I BOUGHT A 2008 HUMMER H3 FOUR MONTHS AGO AT 49,956 MILES, WHEN LAST WEEK I NOTICED I HAD A BAD COOLANT LEAK CAUSING THE FLUIDS TO REMAIN ON THE TOP OF THE ENGINE, THE FAN SHROUD, ETC. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM BECAUSE ITS A 48 MILES DRIVE AND DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF ANYTHING OVERHEATING. TOOK IT IN ON FRIDAY MORNING GOT IT BACK MONDAY AFTERNOON WHEN I WAS TOLD THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE MILEAGE WHEN THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVED IT ON FRIDAY WAS 52,547. *TR

MY 22 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER & A PASSENGER WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND ON AIRPORT FREEWAY, GOING STRAIGHT, NO TURNING, NOPOT HOLES, ETC. ALL SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON WHAT SO EVER! *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN VERY THICK FOG WHICH WAS A WHITE OUT. I WAS GOING THROUGH A TURN AND WAS LOST IN THE FOG QUICKLY AND I ENDED UP OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD STRUCK A SPEED LIMIT SIGN AND A UTILITY POLE ON MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR BECAUSE I SEEN IT AT THE LAST MOMENT AND TRIED TO AVOID HITTING IT. BUT AT THE POINT OF IMPACT MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED AT ALL CAUSING ME TO SUFFER NUMEROUS BROKEN RIBS AND LOSS OF WORK FOR OVER 2 MONTHS TIME. I WASN'T DRIVING FAST AT ALL ACTUALLY WAS GOING UNDER THE ALLOTTED SPEED LIMIT. BUT DUE TO MY INJURIES THE HAD TO EXTRACATE ME FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO BE A TOTAL LOSS BECAUSE THEY HAD TO CUT IT APART RUNNING MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY. I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL. *TR

I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT WHY MY HEATER BLOWER WAS NOT WORKING AND THERE WERE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WIRING HARNESS AND RESISTOR BURNING OUT. I CHECKED MINE AND SURE ENOUGH MINE WAS BURNT ON THE WIRING HARNESS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PLASTIC. GM NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT WOULD CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION LIKE THAT CAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. *TR

CRACK IN THE RADIATOR, HAD IT REPLACED AT A INDEPENDENT SHOP NOT KNOWING THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MODAL HUMMER. DEFINATLY A FLAW SOMEWHERE ON GMS PART. *TR

I HAVE A 08 HUMMER H3 AND JUST FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE A CRACKED RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 52,891 MILES ON IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ALOT TO THE 07 AND 08 HUMMER H3. I THINK WE NEED A RECALL ON THIS. ALL OF THE FORUMS I HAVE SEEN HAVE HAD THEIRS CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE. ALL ON TOP OF THE RADIATORS. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO. I KNOW PERSONALLY I AM TIRED OF SOMETHING GOING WRONG ON THIS. FIRST WAS THE RACK AND PINION WITH ONLY 50,844 MILES AND NOW THIS. COME ON ITS TIME FOR A RECALL. *TR

SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC AND THE A/C STOPPED BLOWING. THE A/C WORKS ON THE LOWER SPEEDS. BURNT/MELTED PLUG ON THE A/C RESISTOR PLUG. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ONLINE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH H3'S AT ABOUT 40-60K MILES. WHY WONT GM DO A RECALL IF THIS IS A DAILY PROBLEM WITH H3 OWNERS. HOW MANY H3'S HAVE CAUGHT FIRE FROM THIS ? IT WAS OVER A 110 DEGREES WHEN MINE WENT OUT. WHAT IF I HAD YOUNG CHILD OR AN ELDERLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AT THAT TEMP ? *TR
