HEATING/ AC FAN BLOWER HARNESS BURNT UP. A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON AN HUMMER H3/. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 HUMMER H3 WITH APP. 79,000 MILES ON IT.. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND HALFWAY THERE, I STARTED TO GET A REALLY BAD VIBRATION AND LOUD HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVELINE. IT STARTS AT ABOUT 40 MPH AND COMES AND GOES EVERY FEW SECONDS. ITS WORSE WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL.. THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED DUE TO CRACKED UNIVERSAL JOINTS FOR SOME ODD REASON.. THE TOP END OF THE ENGINE HAD JUST BEEN REBUILT 2 WEEKS AGO AS WELL DUE TO STICKING EXHAUST VALVES. THIS TRUCK IS BABIED AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFF- ROAD. MAINLY HIGHWAY MILES ONLY.. I JUST HAD IT ALIGNED. ALL THE FLUID LEVELS ARE CORRECT. ALL THE DRIVESHAFTS ARE TIGHT AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE LOOSE.. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN DONE TO IT.. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE SOMETHING COULD LOCK UP AND MAKE YOU LOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE.. THIS WILL BE THE 6TH TIME I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP FOR PROBLEMS... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A FIXED BARRIER WHILE TRYING TO DECELERATE INTO A TURN. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER RECEIVED INJURIES TO THE NECK, CHEST AND AN ABRASION TO HER HEAD. SHE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL VIA AMBULANCE. THE POLICE WERE CALLED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED AS DESTROYED AND WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 41,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H2. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE BEARINGS ON THE FWD WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE BEARINGS WERE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,000.

I WAS DRIVING OFF-ROAD IN MY 2007 HUMMER H3 WITH A GROUP OF HUMMER OWNERS. DRIVING ON A FLAT DIRT ROAD, APPROACHING THE PAVED ROAD, THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. H3 WAS GOING APROX. 35 MPH. I HAD MY SON WITH ME IN THE FRONT SEAT AND HE WAS HURT BY THE AIRBAG. I'VE SEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING WITH H3'S AND THE ISSUE SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GM. EITHER THE SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE OR IS SET TOO SENSITIVE FOR OFF-ROAD DRIVING. I'M THANKFUL IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON A BUSY FREEWAY OR ON A BUSY STREET. MY H3 HAS BEEN IN AT THE GM DEALER FOR 7 DAYS AND THEY ARE WANTING MY INSURANCE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THAT MEANS DEDUCTIBLES AND RENTAL CAR FEES FOR ME TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GM. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 HUMMER H3 IN FEBRUARY 2006. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR APPROXIMATELY 5K MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT WAS LOSING POWER. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE HUMMER/GM DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CYLINDER HEADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. I WAS IN SHOCK THAT I HAD THAT PROBLEM WITH A NEW VEHICLE AND I REQUESTED THAT I GET A NEW REPLACEMENT VEHICLE BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT THE "LEMON" THEY SOLD ME WITH A DEFECTIVE ENGINE. I WAS ASSURED I HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED (UNDER WARRANTY OF COURSE) AND I WOULD NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN. IN NOVEMBER 2010, MONTHS AFTER MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, MY VEHICLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IN FACT, IT IS AT THE DEALER NOW AND I STILL DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH IT WILL COST ME TO REPAIR IT. THE ONLY REASON IT MAY BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO ME IS BECAUSE I PAID $2650 FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM AN OUTSIDE COMPANY (WHICH EXPIRES SOON). HOWEVER, MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY STILL NEEDS TO DETERMINE IF IT WILL COVER THE REPAIRS. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY (TOO MANY) 2006 H3S HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE AND IT IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT GM IS VERY AWARE OF. HOWEVER, DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, GM REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM OR ISSUE ANY BULLETIN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. IF THE ENGINE MISFIRES AND MY VEHICLE BREAKS DOWN, IT CAN EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND/OR ROLLOVER, AND VERY WELL COST ME MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND ISSUE A SAFETY BULLETIN, AND REPLACE ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HUMMER H3. WHILE STOPPED, BOTH FRONT SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED; THE DRIVER WAS INJURED AS A RESULT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE AIR BAGS WERE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,329 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY THE DEALER AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE MODULE FAILED DUE TO EXCESSIVE WATER. THE MODULE WAS REPLACED, BUT NOT THE MOTOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.
