HUMMER Complaints

YESTERDAY, JANUARY 9, 2018, THE LOUVRE ON THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE BLEW OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY RUN OVER BY THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND BROKEN. LUCKY NO ONE WAS HURT. IN RESEARCHING THE REPLACEMENT PART, I CAME TO LEARN THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED CADILLAC OF DUBLIN TO REPLACE/REPAIR THE LOUVRE. THEY THEN INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL HAD BEEN DONE AT JEFF WYLER IN KY. THIS IS CATEGORICALLY UNTRUE. CLEARLY, THE RECALL WAS NOT DONE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO GLUE RESIDUE ANYWHERE ON MY VEHICLE OR THE LOUVRE. MOREOVER, HAD JEFF WYLER ACTUALLY PERFORMED THE RECALL, IT FAILED. MISERABLY. I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE PART NOR THE REPLACEMENT THEREOF. THE INFORMATION IN THE RECALL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED/UPDATED/REVISED TO ACCURATELY REFLECT THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT DONE, SO THAT I CAN ACTUALLY HAVE THE SITUATION CORRECTED/REQUIRED WORK PERFORMED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V421000 (VISIBILITY); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (MORGAN BUICK GMC BOSSIER, 2295 AUTOPLEX DR, BOSSIER CITY, LA 71111) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ASKED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. A CASE NUMBER WAS PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

MY HUMMER WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE AND WOULD NOT START. THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TURNED THE KEY. I CALLED AAA THINKING IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY. THEY CAME OUT, GOT IN THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THEY TESTED ALL ELECTRICAL AND FOUND NO ISSUES. THE BATTERY IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. A FEW WEEKS LATER, I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE, PARKED AND TURNED OFF MY HUMMER. LESS THAN 1 MINUTE LATER, I GOT IN AND IT WOULD NOT START. THIS TIME, NO CLICKING NOISE, NOTHING. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES, SINCE I REMEMBERED THAT IT STARTED UP THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED. A FEW TRIES AND ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, THE HUMMER STARTED. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT TO MY MECHANIC FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK-COST $110.00. EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE, AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO FIX. GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE ALMOST FROM DAY ONE WITH THE KEY FOB SETTING OFF THE ALARM WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE. THE HORN BLOWS, BUT NOT STRONGLY LIKE IT WOULD IF THE CAR IS BEING BROKEN INTO. IT'S A VERY WEAK HONK, AND IT WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED AND THE KEY INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION AND THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. MY DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THIS AND SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE THE FOB BATTERY. IT'S NOT, IT DOES IT WITH NEW BATTERIES INSTALLED. THE CONSENSUS OF READERS ONLINE IS THAT THIS NOT STARTING ISSUE IS A FLAW IN THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE THINKS IT'S BEING STOLEN AND THEREFORE WILL NOT START. I ALSO BELIEVE THIS IS THE CASE, BASED ON THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THE KEY FOB. GETTING STUCK SOMEPLACE IS NOT ONLY ANNOYING, BUT CAN BE DANGEROUS. I LIVE IN ARIZONA WITH TEMPS IN EXCESS OF 110 DURING THE SUMMER. LIKEWISE FOR PEOPLE THIS HAPPENS TO IN AREAS OF FRIGID COLD AND SNOW.

TWICE NOW THE AIRBAGS HAVE DEPLOYED BY HITTING A POTHOLE OR A ROUGH SPOT IN THE ROAD. DURING THE INVESTIGATION OF THE 2ND DEPLOYMENT, GM DENIED THERE IS A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEIR REPORT STATES THAT THE SENSOR SENSED A ROLLOVER EVEN THOUGH ALL FOUR WHEELS WERE ON THE GROUND. AN AIRBAG SHOULD NOT DEPLOY BY HITTING A ROUGH SPOT ON THE DIRT ROAD THAT WE LIVE ON. DRIVING DOWN CALHOUN BYERS ROAD AROUND 64TH IN BYERS, CO.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON I 5 IN OREGON I EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND BRAKE SYSTEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL AND WHEN I DISENGAGED IT ALL OF THE SAFETY WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE A COMPLETE FAILURE ALSO. AT THIS TIME THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND CONTROLS WENT OFF AND I LOSS POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I GOT MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE DISTANCE AND OPENED THE HOOD AND THE MAIN FUSE RELAY PANEL WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FIRE. I CALLED 911. IN THE APPROX. 5 MIN. THE TIME THE FIRE TRUCK ARRIVED THE TRUCK WAS CONSUMED AND FULLY GUTTED OUT FROM THE FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE (UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX) CAUGHT ON FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE PERSON FROM THE PARKING LOT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, BUT THE FIRE WAS ALREADY EXTINGUISHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (LAKESIDE CHEVROLET BUICK, 10215 W MAIN RD, NORTH EAST, PA 16428; (814) 746-4300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD, WINDSHIELD, WIRE HARNESS, AND CARPETS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V421000 AND 10V179000 (VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY IN HIS 2008 HUMMER H3, AND BOTH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. IT SOUNDED LIKE A CANNON WENT OFF IN THE VEHICLE WITH US. OUR EARDRUMS HURT FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. WE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, WHO REFUSED TO PAY STATING IT WAS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. WE CONTACTED GM, WHO DID AN INVESTIGATION AND CONCLUDED THAT THE AIRBAGS "FUNCTIONED AS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO". WHEN WE ASKED HOW THAT COULD BE POSSIBLE, AND WHAT THE INVESTIGATION SHOWED, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE INFORMATION WAS CONFIDENTIAL. THE GENTLEMAN THAT GM SENT TO TAKE PICTURES OF OUR DRIVEWAY FOR THE INVESTIGATION EVEN COMMENTED THAT HE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THEM TO DEPLOY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN ONE'S DRIVEWAY IN A VEHICLE THAT IS MADE FOR CLIMBING MOUNTAINS AND SUCH, COULD BE CONSIDERED AS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THESE AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY IN A ROLLOVER EVENT. A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH WILL REVEAL THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE TO OTHER PEOPLE. IT'S OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE SENSOR, AND A DANGEROUS ONE AT THAT. IF WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE OR A BUSY ROAD AND THEY HAD DEPLOYED, WE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED. I DRIVE A SMALL FOUR CYLINDER CAR DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY ON A DAILY BASIS TO GO TO WORK, AND MY AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER GONE OFF ON ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AN OFFICIAL RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 900 MILES ON IT. AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES, I HAD TO HAVE THE CYLINDER HEAD REPLACED. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE HEAD CONTAINED A KNOWN DEFECT. AT 80,000 MILES, THE CYLINDER HEAD HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, AS THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A SECOND DEFECTIVE HEAD WHEN THEY PERFORMED THE FIRST REPAIR. AT 127,000 MILES, THE CYLINDER HEAD HAS FAILED AGAIN, AS APPARENTLY THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A DEFECTIVE HEAD WHEN THEY PERFORMED THE SECOND REPLACEMENT.
