ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE H3 WILL NOT START. DASH SCREEN KEEPS SHOWING THE PASSLOCK ACTIVATED AND WON'T TURN OFF. COMPUTER THINKS THE H3 IS BEING STOLEN. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET AND NO LUCK. I HAD THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO AND CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK AND NOW ON 28 MARCH 2020. ENGINE IS TURNING OVER AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS LIGHT UP, BUT SOUNDS LIKE FUEL IS NOT GETTING INTO THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, FINDING OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE IS TO WAIT 10 MIN, STILL NO LUCK. WAITING 15 MIN SEEMED TO WORK BEFORE, BUT NOW IT DOESN'T. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SAFELY IN THE VEHICLE, DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND THEN IT STALLS AGAIN? I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVEN'T HAD THIS ISSUE UNTIL IT STARTED 4 WEEKS AGO. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND FUEL STOPS GOING TO THE PUMP? THIS COULD CAUSE A MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I BOUGHT THIS H3 HUMMER USED AND IT RAN GOOD UNTIL LAST YEAR. IT WOULD NOT START AT DIFFERENT TIMES BUT AFTER YOU WAITED 10 MINUTES, IT WOULD START. WE JUST PAID 1300.00 TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED LAST WEEK. NOW IT WON'T START AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PADLOCK SYSTEM THAT THE CAR HAS IT PREVENTS THE CAR TO START AND LEAVES YOU STOPPED FOR 10 MINUTES. IT'S BEEN DOING IT LATELY MORE IN THE MORNING OR WHEN THE CAR HASN'T BEEN MOVED IN AWHILE. THE SECURITY ICON IN THE DASHBOARD BLINKS WHEN THE PASSLOCK SECURITY ENABLES AND THAT LEAVES THE CAR WITHOUT STARTING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY H3 HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH RANDOM WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING. OFTEN MULTIPLE LIGHTS LIKE ENGINE, CHECK TRANSMISSION AND TRACTION. EACH TIME I WOULD TAKE IT TO MECHANIC AND WOULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM ANYTHING IN ENGINE. THEN THE 4 WHEEL LIGHT DRIVE WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM IS MUCH WORST... WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL CAME ON BY ITSELF. I GOT IN IT TO DRIVE IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND WHILE DRIVING IT ACTIVATED THE BRAKE AND MANY WARNING LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AS WELL. VERY DISTURBING. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2006 NOW IT HAS 125000 MILES. I HAVE KEPT A COMPLETE HISTORY OF MAINTENANCE THAT INCLUDES OIL CHANGED EVERY TIME BETWEEN 3500-5000 MILES

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2006 H3 HAS SPORADIC ISSUES WITH STARTING FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT WILL CRANK FINE BUT WILL NOT START. IF I WAIT APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES & TRY AGAIN, IT STARTS WITH NO PROBLEMS. DURING THIS ISSUE, EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS IN THE VEHICLE (RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC..). I'VE HAD IT CHECKED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS & REPLACED LOTS OF PARTS BUT DIDN'T HELP THIS ISSUE AT ALL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS REFERENCE THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE ONLINE & THROUGH NHTSA BUT NOBODY HAS HAD ANY POSITIVE RESPONSES. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM AS A RECALL. I WILL BE PART OF THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THROUGH THESE THREADS RELATED TO THIS HUMMER H3 ISSUE. THANK YOU & WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE GM ISSUE.
