WAS DRIVING IN A SMALL TOWN AND THE VEHICLE JUST LOST ALL POWER WITH NO WARNING. IT COST ME OVER 600.00 TO GET REPAIRED AND I'M THANKFUL I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 OR 70 AND I'M THANKFUL THERE WAS NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. ALSO THE KEY WON'T COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AFTER I DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND THIS WEARS DOWN MY BATTERY AND I HAVE TO GET A JUMP. HAS THERE BEEN ANY RECALLS OR OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, NEW IN JULY 2007. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE. ON 7/28/14, PARKED AT HOME. GOT OUT AND SMELLED COOLANT VAPORIZING (DISTINCT SMELL). I AM A RETIRED MASTER MECHANIC, WITH 44 YEARS EXPERIENCE (CURRENTLY AGE 60). I EXAMINED THE RADIATOR, RINSED IT OFF AND DRIED IT, PRESSURIZED THE SYSTEM TO DISCOVER A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE UPPER, PLASTIC TANK OF THE RADIATOR IN AN AREA WITH NO IMPINGEMENT OF OTHER COMPONENTS, NO TRAUMA, AND NO ROUGH USE, EVER. I CAUGHT IT AT THE VERY FIRST MANIFESTATION, SOLELY BY THE SMELL. EXAMINING THE VEHICLE CLOSELY TO DISCOVER WHILE MY RADIATOR HAD ONLY THIS HAIRLINE CRACK IN A LOCATION OF NO-STRESS AND NO IMPINGEMENT OF OTHER COMPONENTS. RESEARCH FURTHER TO DISCOVER THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE H3, FROM 2006, 2007, 2008 AND 2009 MODELS ALL IN THE 50,000 TO 100,000 MILE READINGS. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AT LOCAL GM DEALER, WITH COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE WAS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR REQUIRES THE RECEIVER DRYER OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM TO BE DISCONNECTED WHICH REQUIRES DISCHARGE AND RECHARGE OF REFRIGERANT R124A. I SAVED THE DEFECTIVE RADIATOR. THERE IS NO OTHER WEAR NOR DAMAGE. THE INTERNAL CORES WERE CLEAR AND CLEAN LIKE NEW. NO OBSTRUCTIONS, DIRT NOR WEAR. IN OTHER WORDS I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE A PERFECTLY GOOD RADIATOR FOR 1 HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE UPPER PLASTIC TANK. THIS REPAIR, INCLUDING ALL COURTESY DISCOUNTS FROM THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, AS I HAD BEEN AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP OWNER AND LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR 30 YEARS OF MY LIFE, COST ME $966.57. NHTSA SHOULD DO A FORMAL DEFECT INVESTIGATION ON ALL THE HUMMER H3 MODELS AND ANY / ALL OTHER GM LIKE-TYPE VEHICLES WITH THE PLASTIC TANK RADIATORS WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED OUT. WHILE TOWING A THIRTY FOOT BOAT, THE PARKING BRAKE ABNORMALLY TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WAS DRIVING 40 MPH ON A 2-LANE NORTHBOUND HIGHWAY. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND SUNNY. A CAR PULLED ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND INSTEAD OF PULLING INTO THE RIGHT LANE, IT PULLED INTO MY LEFT LANE. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKES A HARDER THAN NORMAL. AT THAT POINT BOTH REAR LEAF SPRINGS FAILED AND BLEW APART, DAMAGING THE DRIVE SHAFT AND PULLING THE DRIVE SHAFT FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. THE REAR AXLE WAS PUSHED TO THE VERY BACK OF THE VEHICLE, MAKING IT UN-DRIVABLE. THERE WAS ALSO SOME OTHER UNDERSIDE DAMAGE, SUCH AS THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE LINE, SEALS, GASKETS, ETC. I FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM, HOWEVER THEY DETERMINED THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO A "MECHANICAL FAILURE OF THE GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE." I HAVE FULL COVERAGE AND NONE OF THIS WAS COVERED UNDER EITHER COLLISION (I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING ANYTHING) OR COMPREHENSIVE. REPAIRS FOR ALL THIS ARE $4200 WHICH ARE BEING REPAIRED BY A GM-CERTIFIED MECHANIC AT A GM DEALERSHIP. I AM NOW OUT $4200 AND HAVE NO RECOURSE WITH GM. I AM THE SOLE OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE OWNED IT SINCE JULY 2005. I HAVE MAINTAINED IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH GM RECOMMENDATIONS OVER THE YEARS AND IT WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. ...UPDATED 08/14/14 *BF

WHILE DRIVING ON I-81 NEAR WINCHESTER, VA., I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER MOVING ERRATICALLY. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT MUCH SINCE THIS MISHAP. AS OF AUGUST 4, 2014 THE MILEAGE IS ONLY 55,264. I JUST NOTICED A SUIT FILED AGAINST GM FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT ANY RECALL. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR ME? *TR
