CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF LEAFSPRING/REAR SUSPENSION. TURNING OUT ONTO ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD SNAP, STEERING WENT CRAZY, ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF CAR. SAW SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WEB.

NOTICED SOMEONE ON FORUMS ALSO COMPLAINED WITH THIS NHTSA TRACKING NUMBER (10838131). PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE NOTICED STEADY WATER DROPS DRIPPING ONTO FRONT PASSENGER FLOOR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERS AND THEY "PERFORMED WATER TEST" WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I DECIDED TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE IN THE RAIN AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A STEADY STREAM OF WATER SEEN FLOWING DOWN MY WINDSHIELD ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I RAISED THE HOOD AND SAW THAT RAIN WAS FLOWING AROUND AND DOWN INTO THE AIR INTAKE COVER. I COULD ACTUALLY SEE THE RAIN FLOWING DOWN THERE AND THEN DRIPPING FROM UNDER MY GLOVE BOX AREA ONTO THE FLOOR. THERE IS A LOT OF VISIBLE ELECTRICAL STUFF GOING ON UNDER THERE AND THIS BOTHERS ME MORE THAN THE WET DAMP ODOR THAT IS NOW COMING FROM MY FLOOR BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN CONTINUOUSLY WET OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS DUE TO RAIN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND FUNCTIONS TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH, IS VERY UNSAFE AT NIGHT. IT ALSO PREVENTS STARTING THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY UNTIL YOU WAIT 10 MINUTES, AFTER IT RESETS.

THE ANTI-THEFT ENGAGES RANDOMLY AND PREVENTS ME FROM STARTING MY CAR. THIS IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT BUT COULD ENDANGER MY SAFETY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LISTED ABOUT THIS DEFECT BY OTHER H3 OWNERS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR LESS THAN 1 MONTH AGO.

IGNITION SWITCH ON THIS VEHICLE IS FAILING SAME AS ON OTHER GM VEHICLES WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED. SWITCH SETTING CHANGES INTO OFF POSITION SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE WHEN A MODERATE BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD IS ENCOUNTERED, SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND LOCKING STEERING WHEEL. GM REFUSES TO HONOR RECALL FOR IGNITION SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED UNDER ACTIVE RECALL/LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT. 5 OCCURRENCES OF THIS SHUT DOWN TO-DATE. GM COMPLAINT NUMBER 8-2272247746 WAS RESOLVED IN THEIR OPINION BY STATING TO ME THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE CURRENT GM IGNITION RECALL. THE STATED THAT THEY SHARE MY SAFETY CONCERN AND BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT MY EXPENSE. THEY SUGGESTED CONTACTING SAFE CARS.GOV TO ATTEMPT ADDING THIS VEHICLE TO ACTIVE RECALL. PLEASE HELP.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING, WATER POURS IN FROM THE SUNROOF WHILE RAINING, TO THE POINT MY HEAD, SHIRT AND PANTS ARE COMPLETELY DRENCHED. WHILE DRIVING THE WATER IS COMING DOWN ATOP MY HEAD COMING DOWN MY FACE CREATING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. WATER ALSO DRAINS DOWN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD DUE TO THE SUNROOF SOMEHOW BECOMING BLOCKED WITH DEBRIS. DEFINITELY A MAJOR PROBLEM!! MY CARPETS ARE MOLDY AS A RESULT. MY CAR SMELLS DUE TO THIS OCCURRING AFTER IT RAINS! PLEASE REPAIR THIS DEFECT.

INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLES PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM DISABLES THE STARTER LEAVING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS STRANDED FOR 10 MINUTES WHILE THE SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF AND REENGAGES THE STARTER. THIS ISSUES SEEMS TO OCCUR AT RANDOM, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT WILL. AN INTERNET SEARCH ON THE PASSLOCK SECURITY ISSUES PROVES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE H3.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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

MY HUMMER STALLS AND DIES AT VARIOUS TIMES. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND KNOW ONE CAN SEEM TO TELL ME WHY IT DIES WHILE DRIVING. I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY TRUCK AND ME I HAVE METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL. DYING IN AN INTERSECTION WITH CHILDREN IS DANGEROUS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
TAKATA RECALL. I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 10-15 MPH ON A SIDE ROAD APPROACHING A STOP SIGN TO GET ONTO THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND THE SIDE AIRBAGS ON BOTH SIDES DEPLOYED ON THEIR OWN. NOTHING HIT THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THEM TO RELEASE. IT LOCKED UP MY FRONT SEAT BELTS ALSO. I CUT THE AIRBAGS OUT TO BE ABLE TO SEE TO DRIVE HOME, AND WAS ABLE TO PULL THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT AROUND ME ENOUGH TO MAKE IT HOME. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEN CALLED THE LOCAL HUMMER DEALER TO LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR THEM TO RETURN MY CALL. MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A DEALER ISSUE, AND NOTHING THEY WOULD COVER, BUT ADVISED ME TO GO TO MY LOCAL INSURANCE AGENT AND TALK WITH THEM ON MONDAY. THIS IS SATURDAY, JULY 16, 2016 AND NEITHER THE INSURANCE COMPANY OR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP IS OPEN UNTIL MONDAY. I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED, BUT BELIEVE THAT THERE IT MAY BE CONNECTED TO FAULTY SENSORS ON THE SIDE AIRBAGS.

THERE ARE MORE SITUATIONS BUT PLEASE READ BELOW. THESE VEHICLES ARE MADE TO DO CLIMB 60 DEGREE ANGLES, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE ARE SO MANY INSISTENCE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED.
