LETTER FROM SENATOR DURBIN ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE GM 2009 FAULTY HUMMER H3 WINDSHIELD. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WATER STARTED LEAKING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WATER ENTERED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START FOR 20 MINUTES AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED, THE WINDSHIELD WAS NEVER GLUED WHEN THE VEHICLE LEFT THE FACTORY.

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2007 HUMMER H3 WHEN IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE STARTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE DASH. HE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ON FIRE UNTIL HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO GO INTO A RESTAURANT. HE DIDN'T EVEN SMELL ANYTHING BURNING AND HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING AROUND 5 MINUTES. PEOPLE WERE POINTING AT HIS CAR TELLING HIM IT WAS ON FIRE. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT TO HIM IN 3-4 MINUTES. THE HUMMER H3 WAS TOTALED OUT BECAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 64,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. *TR

JUST HAD MY HUMMER IN 2 WEEKS AGO AT THE GM DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED. HAD BEEN DEALING WITH IT STRANDING ME AND MY KIDS FOR 10 MINUTE PERIODS LONG ENOUGH. ( SOMETIMES LONGER) WHILE IT WAS IN THERE WE ALSO HAD TO GET THE RADIATOR REPLACED DUE TO IT BEING CRACKED. NOW 2 WEEKS LATER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION LIGHT HAVE COME ON. THE TRACTION LIGHT SAYING SERVICE SAB SYSTEM. AFTER READING ALL THE HUMMER PROBLEMS I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON BOTH THE IGNITION SWITCH AND RADIATOR. THE IGNITION SWITCH BEING FAULTY PUT ME AND MY KIDS IN SITUATIONS IN PLACES FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME THAT WERE NOT SAFE AND AT TIMES WE WERE VERY COLD SINCE WE CAN HAVE BELOW ZERO WEATHER IN COLORADO. THE IGNITION NOT RECOGNIZING THE KEY CAUSING THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE IS RECALL ISSUE AND GM YOU SHOULD BE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY INTERSTATE 70 IN MARYLAND AND WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES . AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES , THE TRUCK PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT ,AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR . IF I WOULD NOT HAVE SWERVED ONTO THE MEDIAN , I WOULD HAVE RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE . AFTER STOPPING , I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND ,AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS COVERED IN BRAKE FLUID. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I NOTICED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED. GM STATES THAT YOUR VEHICLE CAN STILL STOP IF YOU LOSE ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES . IN MY SITUATION , I FOUND THIS TO BE A FALSE STATEMENT . THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ,AND I WAS VERY SURPRISED WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A CERTIFIED GM DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY OFFERED A VOUCHER FOR 1000 TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE . I OWN A 1968 CAMARO THAT IS ALL ORIGINAL ,AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY RUST ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LINES . HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE THAT A CAR 35 YEARS OLD DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM ? AND EVEN MORE CRAZY , THAT GM TURNS A BLIND EYE TO THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE . NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WILL NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT ! *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE BLOWER AND THE WIRE HARNESS THAT HAD MELTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN AND OR NOT STARTING WITH FAULTY PASSLOCK II SYSTEM..... ........ OWNERS MANUAL SAYS TO WAIT 10-15 MIN BUT KEEPS HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY 4 TIMES ON 9-9-14 PROBLEM IS WORSENING BY THE WEEK. *TR

THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED BUT I WILL DRIVE IT 10 TO 15 MILES AND STOP. THE OIL LIGHT AND THE DINGER COME ON. I RESET THE BUTTON AND THEN COME TO THE NEXT STOP AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE DINGER GOES OFF. THE ONLY WAY IT STOPS IS SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND LET IT SET OVERNIGHT. I CHECK THE OIL WHEN IT DOES THIS AND THE DIP STICK IS FINE. IS THIS AN OIL SENSOR PROBLEM AND IS THIS UNDER WARRANTY OR A RECALL? *TR
