HUMMER Complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE IDLING AT AN INTERSECTION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND ON STAR WAS CALLED. THERE WAS AN ADVISORY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SLOWLY TO THE NEAREST DEALER. DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS PERFORMED AND THEY DETERMINED A CYLINDER WAS LEAKING AND THE HEAD AND VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. 12,000 MILES AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR, THE IDENTICAL SCENARIO RECURRED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY DETERMINED THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE WAS THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS VISIT. ANOTHER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING AND IT NEEDED A HEAD AND VALVE JOB AGAIN. THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPRESSED THE REASON FOR THE RECURRENCE WAS DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE HEAD WHICH WAS INSTALLED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED AND DURING THE REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS NOW A NEW PART FOR REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE ORIGINAL PART AND THE NEW PART HAD THE SAME PART NUMBER. *NM

VEHICLE HAD AN ENGINE MISS FIRE THAT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF THE HEAD. MISS. RETURNED SHORTLY AFTER REPAIRS. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO MISS. VEHICLE FILLED UP WITH WATER DURING A RAINSTORM. ALL INTERIOR HAD TO BE REMOVED AND DRIED OUT. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS OCCURRED THAT REQUIRED FOUR BATTERIES OVER 12 MONTHS. DEALER STATED IT WAS MY PROBLEM, BECAUSE I HAD A SMALL INVERTER FOR COMPUTER. SOLD THE VEHICLE TO THE HUMMER DEALER AT A LOSS OF $15,000. HUMMER REFUSED ANY ASSISTANCE AFTER FIRST STATING THEY WOULD. *JB

BRAKES ARE VERY NOISY (SQUEAKING) DEALER GRINDED DOWN BRAKE PADS AND REMOVED AND SANDED THE ROTORS. STILL HAVE SQUEAK NOT AS BAD. VERY CONCERNED ON BRAKE ISSUE AND JIMMY RIG FIX AT 6000 MILES

MY WIFE'S NEW 2006 HUMMER H3 SAFETY BELT WOULD NOT UNLOCK. MAKING MY WIFE STUCK IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY WIFE BEING PREGNANT THERE WAS NO WAY TO RELEASE HER FROM THE SEAT BELT. THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. WE ENDED UP CUTTING THE SEAT BELT AND TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO REPLACE. STILL WAITING ON PARTS TO ARRIVE FROM DEALER TO REPLACE ENTIRE SEAT BELT AND BUCKLE ON PASSENGER SIDE. *NM

2003 H2 HUMMER, TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE COOLANT SYSTEM THAT REQUIRES REMOVAL OF ALL HOSES AND RADIATOR FLUSHING AND CLEANING AND POSSIBLY REMOVING THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE OF CONTAMINATION. EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AND I BELIEVE TO BE A DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP. *NM

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 WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE FORCE OF THE BUMPS ARE FELT WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SAGS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO THE TORSION BAR LOSING IT'S SPRING. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE TORSION BAR BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED.

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.

NUISANCE - KEY STUCK INTERMITTENTLY IN IGNITION UPON TURNING OFF. SAFETY PROBLEM - KEY CAN ALWAYS BE REMOVED WITH TRANSMISSION IN ANY GEAR POSITION. *JB

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
