STRUCTURE:BODY
THE TUBULAR FRAME HAD WHAT LOOKS LIKE COLD SLUGS WELDS AT SEVERAL JOINT LOCATIONS THAT ALLOWED WATER TO ENTER AND RUST FROM THE INSIDE OUT. THE FRAME CAN BE PUSHED THROUGH WITH A FINGER. THE FRAME SPRINGS BROKE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DROPPING THE FUEL TANK THROUGH THE GAS TANK CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WENT OUT TO START H3, TURNED KEY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. PASSLOCK/SECURITY SYSTEM INSIDE THE STEERING COLUMN IS BAD. CAR WON'T START. IS UNSAFE AND WILL STRAND OWNER WITHOUT WARNING BY NOT STARTING. GOES INTO SECURITY MODE. WAS TOLD TO WAIT 10 MIN AND TRY AGAIN. CAN'T TURN IT OFF AT GAS PUMP FOR FEAR OF IT LOCKING ME OUT AND NOT STARTING. I HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME 4 TIMES IN ONE DAY. SO MANY COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND PEOPLE TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THERE IS EVEN A COMPANY SELLING A PART TO BYPASS THIS AND THE SECURITY SYSTEM WHICH AGAIN IS ANOTHER ISSUE. GM IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. STRANDING PEOPLE CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND THE CAR WON'T START. ALL AROUND BAD BUSINESS BY GM FOR NOT ISSUING THIS RECALL. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE WHICH GM MANAGER SAID ON THE PHONE. THESE H3'S ARE KNOW FROM THIS FRESH OFF THE DEALERSHIP FLOOR. PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND REPLACING THE PART WHEN THE LABOR COSTS MORE THAN THE PART. SEEM LIKE A MONOPOLY FOR GM AND ITS DEALERSHIPS. I HAVE SEEN ANYWHERE FROM 1500-2000.00 TO INSTALL AND RECTIFY THIS BAD PART AT THE GM DEALERSHIPS.

HUMMER WILL NOT START, ENGINE TURNS OVER NORMALLY, BUT WILL NOT START. WAIT EXACTLY 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTS UP FINE. CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME, AT THE GAS STATION, FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. LEARNED THAT IF THE SECURITY LIGHT ON THE DASH BLINKS WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ON, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. IF LIGHT STAYS ON, THE VEHICLE STARTS. HAVE WATCHED FOR THIS AT EVERY START UP, CAN NOW TELL WHEN THE VEHICLE WON'T START. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES WITH PASS LOCK SINCE THE LATE 1990S, GM NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM NOW!!!!!!!!!!
