QUESTION: RECALL FOR HVAC CONNECTOR WIRE FAILURE ISSUED JUN.25TH,2015. NOTIFIED BY GM OF RECALL IN AUGUST, 2015. AS OF THIS DATE, GM'S STANCE IS "INCOMPLETE- REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE". HOW LONG CAN GM STALL- OFF THIS REPAIR, WHICH IS CONSIDERED A FIRE HAZZARD? IS THERE A TIME CONSTRAINT TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM? WHAT IS THE TIME LIMITATION FOR REPAIR?

I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM HUMMER (GM) IN AUGUST 2015 FOR MY 2007 HUMMER H3. IT IS SAFETY RECALL 15042. THE LETTER INDICATED THAT IT WAS A SAFETY RECALL STATING THE CONNECTOR MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE BLOWER MOTOR SPEED IN THE HEAT/VENT/AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) SYSTEM MAY OVERHEAT UNDER EXTENDED OPERATIONAL PERIODS AT HIGH AND MEDIUM-HIGH BLOWER SPEEDS. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS THERE COULD BE A RISK OF FIRE. THE LETTER SAID PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE AND WHEN THEY WERE I WOULD BE CONTACTED TO ARRANGE A SERVICE APPOINT. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS AND NO CALL, I CONTACTED THE NUMBER, 1-800-833-6537, AND ASKED WHAT THE HOLD-UP IS ON THE PARTS? I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE STILL UNAVAILABLE. AFTER SEVERAL MORE MONTHS, I CALLED AGAIN ONLY TO RECEIVE THE SAME EXCUSE WITH NO PROJECTED DATE OF ARRIVAL. TO ME THIS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY THIS RECALL INVOLVES A POTENTIAL RISK OF A FIRE. IT IS NOW MARCH 2016 AND I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES SO LONG TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENTS. I AM HESITANT TO USE THE BLOWER MOTOR BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FIRE RISK.

EVERY SO OFTEN THE PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND MY HUMMER WON'T START. I HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. IT FAILS WITHOUT WARNING. ITS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. THERE WAS ONLY 55,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN I NOTICED IT STARTING TO ACT UP. I SLICED MY FINGERS OPEN ON A JOB AND HAD TO DRIVE MYSELF TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM BUT MY HUMMER WOULDN'T START BECAUSE OF THE IGNITION SECURITY FAILURE. I LOST A LOT OF BLOOD IN MY HAND SITTING WAITING THE 10 MINUTES. THE DOCTOR SAID I MIGHT LOSE THE TIPS OF MY FINGERS BECAUSE IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET THERE. I'M SURE OTHER PEOPLE HAD WORSE SITUATIONS, BUT I SEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE A LIFE IS LOST IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. MY HUMMER WILL NOT TURN ON THEN 10 TO 20 MINUTES GO BY THEN IT'LL START AND IT'S HAPPENING MORE FREQUENT AND TAKING LONGER TO TURN ON. IF YOU GOOGLE "WHY WON'T MY 2006 HUMMER START" THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS!! I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE ITS NOT A MAINTENCE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP!! THIS IS STARTING TO GET TROUBLE SOME ESPECIALLY WHEN IT DOESN'T START AND YOU HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE. I'M THINKING ABOUT TRADING IT IN BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BECAUSE I PUT A LOT OF MONEY IN IT ALREADY!!
