HUMMER Complaints

2006 HUMMER H3 SUN ROOF LEAKS AND WATER SEEPING INTO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HAD SAME ISSUE 1 YEAR AGO AND HAD FIXED. SAME PROBLEM JUST UNDER 1 YEAR LATER. NEVER USE SUN ROOF IS NEVER OPENED OR CRACKED BUT BEING TOLD ISSUE STEMS FROM DEBRIS BUILD UP WHICH SHOULD NOT OCCUR AS THE ROOF IS NEVER OPENED. LOOKING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ISSUE HAPPENS DURING RAIN WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HUMMER H3. WHEN THE KEY WAS PLACED IN THE IGNITION, THE VEHICLE MISREAD THE KEY AND DISABLED THE FUEL LINE. THE VEHICLE BECAME TEMPORARILY INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTI THEFT PASS LOCK SYSTEM FAILED AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE FOR THE ISSUE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START FOLLOWED BY A 10 MINUTE LOCKOUT PERIOD. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FEW DAYS. ONCE THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 10 MINUTED IT WILL START. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WETHER CONDITIONS, WILL PERSIST INTERMITTENTLY ANYTIME OF DAY; DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DUE WITH KEY FOB OR HOW I ENTER THE VEHICLE.

IGNITION SWITCH ON THIS VEHICLE IS FAILING SAME AS ON OTHER GM VEHICLES WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED. SWITCH SETTING CHANGES INTO OFF POSITION SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE WHEN A MODERATE BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD IS ENCOUNTERED, SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND LOCKING STEERING WHEEL. GM REFUSES TO HONOR RECALL FOR IGNITION SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED UNDER ACTIVE RECALL/LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT. 5 OCCURRENCES OF THIS SHUT DOWN TO-DATE. GM COMPLAINT NUMBER 8-2272247746 WAS RESOLVED IN THEIR OPINION BY STATING TO ME THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE CURRENT GM IGNITION RECALL. THE STATED THAT THEY SHARE MY SAFETY CONCERN AND BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT MY EXPENSE. THEY SUGGESTED CONTACTING SAFE CARS.GOV TO ATTEMPT ADDING THIS VEHICLE TO ACTIVE RECALL. PLEASE HELP.

WHILE DRIVING, WATER POURS IN FROM THE SUNROOF WHILE RAINING, TO THE POINT MY HEAD, SHIRT AND PANTS ARE COMPLETELY DRENCHED. WHILE DRIVING THE WATER IS COMING DOWN ATOP MY HEAD COMING DOWN MY FACE CREATING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. WATER ALSO DRAINS DOWN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD DUE TO THE SUNROOF SOMEHOW BECOMING BLOCKED WITH DEBRIS. DEFINITELY A MAJOR PROBLEM!! MY CARPETS ARE MOLDY AS A RESULT. MY CAR SMELLS DUE TO THIS OCCURRING AFTER IT RAINS! PLEASE REPAIR THIS DEFECT.

INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLES PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM DISABLES THE STARTER LEAVING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS STRANDED FOR 10 MINUTES WHILE THE SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF AND REENGAGES THE STARTER. THIS ISSUES SEEMS TO OCCUR AT RANDOM, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT WILL. AN INTERNET SEARCH ON THE PASSLOCK SECURITY ISSUES PROVES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE H3.

VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES FROM START TIME, WAS STATIONARY AND UNOCCUPIED FOR APPROXIMATELY 10-25 MINUTES. VEHICLE INTERIOR CAUGHT FIRE AT THE BASE OF THE TOP SITTING AREA OF THE REAR SEAT, FLAMES FROM FIRE MELTED THE OVER HEAD INTERIOR LIGHT AND IGNITED A FIRE ON THE HEAD LINER, WHICH CAUSED THE FIRE TO SPREAD UNDER NEATH THE HEADLINER AND ROOF OF THE VEHICLE, MELTING THE EXTERIOR PAINT. THERE WAS NO PRIOR INDICATION OF BURNING WHEN DRIVING OR AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FIRE. FIRE DEPARTMENT ADVISED IT WAS BELIEVED TO BE RELATED TO REAR SEAT HEATERS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING COMBUSTION THAT LEAD TO AN INTERIOR FIRE. DOORS WERE LOCKED PRIOR TO THE FIRE, AND STORE SURVEILLANCE DIDN'T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF EXTERIOR TAMPERING WITH THE VEHICLE.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H3. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION CYLINDER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER MADE MANY ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED. IN ADDITION, VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS FAILED AND A BURNING ODOR WAS NOTICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

MY HUMMER STALLS AND DIES AT VARIOUS TIMES. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND KNOW ONE CAN SEEM TO TELL ME WHY IT DIES WHILE DRIVING. I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY TRUCK AND ME I HAVE METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL. DYING IN AN INTERSECTION WITH CHILDREN IS DANGEROUS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
