ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE HAS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH A FAULTY RESISTOR/WIRING HARNESS ON THE BLOWER MOTOR. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER GM TRUCKS & VEHICLES AND THE PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN/REPORTED ON THE INTERNET. FOR SOME REASON GM REFUSES TO ISSUE/FIX THIS RECALL FOR THE HUMMER H3? THE PROBLEM CAUSES THE WIRING TO GET SO HOT TO MELT THE INSULATION, WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE. I PARK MY VEHICLE IN AN ATTACHED GARAGE. *TT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT BETWEEN 25MPH AND 0. I WORK FOR THE US CENSUS BUREAU, PERMANENT WORKER AND I TRAVEL THROUGH ALL TYPES OF WEATHER CONDITIONS IN A DAY, FROM 9,000 FT MOUNTAINS COVERED IN SNOW TO DESERT GRAVEL ROADS, MESAS, CLIFFS. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVERSING MOUNTAIN ROADS COVERED IN SNOW WITH NO GUARD RAILS, AND THREE TIMES, WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, I LOST STEERING AND CAME WITHIN INCHES OF GOING OFF THE SIDE (CLIFFS) OF THESE ROADS, NOT TO MENTION IN TOWN, WHEN MY ENGINE SHUTS OFF AS I DRIVE, I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING OTHER VEHICLES OR POLES AS I LOSE POWER STEERING ON A TURN.. I HAVE TO DRIVE ABOUT 90 MILES ONE WAY TO GET IT SERVICED, WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, I HAD IT "REPAIRED" ABOUT FIVE TIMES, NO SUCCESS, ONCE WARRANTY EXPIRED, GM DEALERS 90 MILES AWAY WERE STILL WILLING TO INSPECT VEHICLE SINCE PROBLEMS STARTED WHILE UNDER FULL GM WARRANTY, BUT NOW, THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME A RENTAL AND TELL ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. MY LOCAL GM DEALER (ALAMOGORDO) REFUSES TO INSPECT VEHICLE AND THUS I AM REQUIRED TO MAKE A 180 MILE ROUND TRIP, BUT NOW, EVEN DEALER TELLS ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS AND THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM IN THE SHOP. I TOOK ABOUT 6 VIDEOS WITH MY DROID AFTER THE PROBLEM HAPPENS, BECAUSE THE PROBLEM LINGERS FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, THEN IT STOPS AND THE VEHICLE WORKS FINE. THE VIDEOS HOW THE RPM'S GOING UP AND DOWN, UP AND DOWN, UNTIL THE CAR SHUTS OFF, I RESTART IT, THEN IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. PROBLEMS USUALLY APPEAR IN THE AM, AS I DRIVE OFF FOR THE FIRST TIME, BEFORE IT IS DRIVEN A GOOD DISTANCE, BUT CAN AND HAS HAPPENED AT ANY MOMENT. VERY DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE EACH MORNING AS I LEAVE MY MOUNTAIN HOME, ESPECIALLY IN COLD SNOW WEATHER. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
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

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
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

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
"STAB TRACK SYSTEM FAILURE" COMES ON WHEN DRIVING, WHICH MAKES THE CAR LOSE POWER AND SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3TIMES IN ABOUT 6 WEEKS. DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE FIXED IT 3 TIMES, NOW THEY ADMIT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO FIX. SERVICE DEPT SAYS THEY CANNOT NARROW DOWN THE PROBLEM BUT THE COMPUTER DOES RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS A STABILITY CONTROL ISSUE. I AM AFRAID IT WILL DO THIS ON THE INTERSTATE AND I WILL BE RUN OVER OR KILLED BY TRAFFIC. *TR
