HUMMER Complaints

I BOUGHT MY HUMMER H3 IN AUGUST OF 2009, USED AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP THAT IS A SISTER STORE OF CHEVY/HUMMER DEALERSHIP. MY 2006 HUMMER WAS FINE UNTIL THE COLD WEATHER HIT. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AROUND THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER. I WAS LEAVING TO GO TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AROUND 9:00PM I WENT OUTSIDE HOWEVER TO TURN MY HEAT AND MY HEATED SEAT ON, AND ABOUT FIVE MINUETS LATER I WENT OUT TO MY CAR TO LEAVE AND MY CAR WAS FREEZING WITH NO FAN MOTOR ON AT ALL. AFTER STARING AT MY FUSE BOX AND READING THE CRAPPY OWNERS MANUAL FOR AROUND AND HOUR, WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT NO FUSES HAD BEEN BLOWN. THE NEXT DAY I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO THE CHEVY GARAGE. THE SERVICE MAN CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THAT HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. A WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING BACK TO PICK UP MY HUMMER UP. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP I GOT ABOUT FIVE MILES UP THE ROAD AND MY CAR WAS FILLING UP WITH SMOKE. I THEN RETURNED MY CAR TO THE DEALER. A WEEK LATER AGAIN I PICKED MY CAR UP, DROVE FINE AND GET THIS I EVEN HAD HEAT FOR ABOUT A MONTH. UNTIL IT WAS AROUND CHRISTMAS AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, DROPPED MY CAR OFF AND A WEEK LATER PICKED IT UP. TWO WEEKS LATER AND IT WAS AROUND THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE GARAGE YET AGAIN AND THE FIXED THE SAME THING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FIXING, NO CHANGE AND NO INVESTIGATION ON THE PROBLEM. THE FIFTH TIME HAPPENED AROUND FIVE OR SIX DAYS AFTER I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE PREVIOUS TIME GETTING FIXED, ONLY THIS TIME THEY BROUGHT IT TO THEIR SISTER STORE THE ONE WITH THE HUMMER CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS. I FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK TWO WEEKS LATER. THEN AROUND THE LAST OF THE COLD WEATHER IT HAPPENED AGAIN IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF APRIL. I GOT IT BACK AND HAD NO PROBLEMS, NOT EVEN WITH MY A/C, WHICH I RUN ALL SUMMER LONG. NOW THIS NOVEMBER WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AGAIN SINCE LAST APRIL, AND IT'S GOING TO BE THE LAST. *TR

2006 HUMMER H3 47000 MILES ONLY 2 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, NOTICED ROUGH IDLE. DEALER SAYS MUST REPLACE HEAD DUE TO MISFIRE AND TROUBLE WITH CYLINDER 5. DEALER RECOGNIZED COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE, BUT REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BUT DISCOUNT THE REPAIR FROM 3200 PLUS TAX DOWN TO 2800. THIS APPEARS TO BE SAME ENGINE PROBLEM AS WAS COVERED FOR THE COLORADO, BUT GM REFUSES TO HELP WITH H3! *TR

MY 2005 H2 HUMMER SPEEDOMETER GETS STUCK ,I HAVE SEEN OVER THE PAST WEEK THAT IT GETS STUCK EVERY DAY AND I CANT TELL HOW FAST IM GOING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE LOOKED ON THE WEB AND HAVE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME REASON. *TR

NOTHING LEAD TO THE FAILURE. SECOND OCCURRENCE IN 11 MONTH PERIOD OF TIME. FIRST OCCURRENCE 12/3/2009 AND NOW ANOTHER REPAIR NEEDED 11/4/2010. SUNROOF CHANNELS CLOGGING AND LEAKING WATER INTO VEHICLE. HAZARD WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN WHEN WATER POUR THROUGH THE VEHICLE DOUSING AND DISTRACTING THE DRIVER WHICH COULD RESULT IN A POSSIBLE JERK OF THE WHEEL OR WRECK. FRONT WINDSHIELD ALSO BEGINS TO FOG TO DO MOISTURE AND IMPEDES VIEW OF ROAD. WATER POURING INTO VEHICLE CAUSING MOLD IN CARPET, SEATS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THE VEHICLE WILL AT FIRST WORK INTERMITTENTLY, GOING ON AND OFF AT THEIR OWN WILL. THEN THE WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP WILL TURN ON WITHOUT WARNING, DISCHARGING ALL THE WASHER FLUID ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. THE PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP, EVEN WITH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. THIS CAN ONLY BE REMEDIED WITH THE DISCONNECTION OF THE BATTERY. THE WIPERS WILL THEN NOT WORK. THIS CAN OCCUR AT ANY MOMENT, BEING VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT 3/22/2009, 2007 HUMMER H3, THE OTHER DRIVER LOST CONTROL AND HIS EXPLORER TRAVELED HORIZONTALLY ON FREEWAY 5, IN LOS ANGELES. I T BONED HIM I WAS TRAVELING 65 MPH AT TIME OF IMPACT. THE HUMMER WAS TOTALED THE FRONT END DAMAGED FATALLY. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I SUFFERED AND STILL SUFFER FROM A BACK INJURY I HAVE HAD 5 PROCEDURES TO MY BACK FOR PAIN AND NUMBNESS. I WAS THE DRIVER. MY HUSBAND WAS A PASSENGER AND HE REQUIRED KNEE SURGERY DUE TO AN INJURY CAUSED BY HITTING THE DASH. HE AND I BOTH STILL HAVE DAILY PAIN AND MY ABILITY TO PERFORM MY JOB HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. I CANNOT TAKE NARCOTIC PAIN MEDICATIONS SECONDARY TO MY JOB, SO I SUFFER DAILY. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE BOTH VEHICLES INVOLVED. I THINK IF THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED I AND MY HUSBAND MAY NOT HAVE HAD SUCH DAMAGING AND LONG TERM INJURIES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT THE 2006 HUMMER AIR BAGS ( CLOTH SEATS) HAD ISSUES. MY VEHICLE HAD CLOTH SEATS.THIS MAY NOT BE THE APPROPRIATE FORUM BUT I HAD A PAID SERVICE ONSTAR. THE ONSTAR SERVICE FAILED TO RESPOND AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I CALLED THEM ON MY CELL PHONE AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD CALL THE CHP. EVENTUALLY THE ONSTAR CALLED ME ON MY VEHICLE BUT THE TOW TRUCK AND CHP HAD ALREADY ARRIVED. . MY HUSBAND CALLED 911 IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. *TR

THE SIDE TRIMMING NEAR THE ROOF RACKS ARE CRACKED, THE GASKETS NEAR THE REAR OF THE ROOF RACKS ARE COMING APART, AND THE TRIMMING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE NEAR THE WINDSHIELD ARE COMING OFF AND FADED. THE BEST WAY FOR ME TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE IS BY PRESENTING SOME FORUMS THAT I READ ABOUT.............. HTTP://WWW.GMHUMMER.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=796 HTTP://WWW.HUMMERFORUMS.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=16421 HTTP://WWW.ELCOVAFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=20479 HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0E3B5A APPARENTLY, I AM NO THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS. NOT ONLY IS THIS ISSUE COSTLY, BUT SITUATIONS LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT BE OF THE CUSTOMERS FAULT WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AS IT SHOULD. ESPECIALLY IF IT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. MOLDING SHOULD NOT COME OFF A VEHICLE IN THIS MANNER AS IT COULD EVENTUALLY COME OFF AND DAMAGE SOMEONE ELSE'S PROPERTY AS DEBRIS WHILE DRIVING. *TR
