I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM BELOW PASSENGER SIDE UNDER THE GLOVE BOX. PULL OVER AND SAW IT WAS A RESISTOR WITH TWO SCREWS. IT WAS BURNT, I UNPLUGGED AND DROVE HOME. THEN SEARCHED INTERNET AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ASAP, BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IN A FIRE. *JS

I STARTED THE IGNITION, TURNED UP THE BLOWER FAN SPEED, AND THE CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE WHICH SMELLED OF BURNING PLASTIC AND ELECTRICAL WIRES. BLOWER FAN DID NOT FUNCTION, AND UPON FOLLOWING THE SMELL AND SMOKE, I TRACED THE PROBLEM TO A RED ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR DIRECTLY UNDER THE GLOVE BOX. THE CONNECTOR CONNECTS TO THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND HAD MELTED INTO THE RESISTOR UNIT FUSING BOTH PARTS TOGETHER IN ONE LARGE PIECE OF BURNT PLASTIC. THE ORANGE WIRE, (THE LARGEST GAUGE WIRE ON THE CONNECTOR), HAD MELTED BACK AWAY FROM THE CONNECTOR AS WELL EXPOSING BARE WIRE. *TR

RADIATOR HAD SMALL LEAK, HAS SINCE INCREASED OVER LAST 3 YEARS. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND EVERY H3 OWNER KNOWS THIS IS A DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

LESS THAN 1 YEAR AGO, I HAD THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE RECENTLY NOTICED THE SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE COMING FROM MY HOOD AFTER LONG TRIPS. THE RADIATOR THAT WAS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE 10 MONTHS AND 8K MILES AGO HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE TOP TANK. THERE IS DRIED COOLANT SPRAY ACROSS THE TOP OF MY ENGINE AND A CRACK FORMING RIGHT BEHIND THE LIP OF THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK. *JS

MY RADIATOR TANK CRACKED RIGHT ACROSS THE TOP COMPROMISING MY COOLING SYSTEM. THIS TURNED INTO A BIGGER PROBLEM AS THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER WAS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY AND EVENTUALLY DESTROYING MY TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO SPEND OVER $2K TO HAVE A REFURBISHED TRANNY AND NEW RADIATOR INSTALLED. *JS

ON 4/24/14, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2009 HUMMER H3 DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY WITH OUR 2 YOUNGER BOYS INSIDE. BEFORE THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY, BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. SHE WAS GOING BETWEEN 5MPH AND 10MPH AND DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. THE AIRBAG MISSED OUR 7 YEAR OLD AND GRAZED OUR 9 YEAR OLDS HEAD. THANK GOD THEY WERE TOO SHORT. HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG DID HIT MY WIFE HARD IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, NECK AND SHOULDER AND KNOCKED HER OVER TO THE CENTER CONSOLE. SHE WAS BRUISED, DAZED, SWOLLEN, HAD BURN MARKS ON HER NECK AND COULD NOT HEAR OUT OF HER LEFT EAR. NOW THE HEADLINER IS DESTROYED, THE SEATBELTS ARE LOCKED UP AND USELESS AND THE SUNROOF LEAKS. I FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER IT BUT WILL LOOK AT IT BEFORE MAKING A FINAL DECISION BECAUSE THE ISSUE WAS "MECHANICAL". I ALSO HAVE A CLAIM OPEN WITH GM CUSTOMER CARE AND ARE WAITING FOR THE RESULTS, BUT IT DOES NOT SOUND GOOD. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE OTHER HUMMER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING AND SUGGESTED FILING A COMPLAINT HERE. PLEASE HELP AS WE NOW ARE PAYING FOR A VEHICLE AND INSURANCE THAT IS NOT ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THANK YOU. *TR
