MY 2006 H3 (50K MILES) HAS STARTING ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN GETTING MORE FREQUENT SINCE LAST YEAR. 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. RICH

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 900 MILES ON IT. AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES, I HAD TO HAVE THE CYLINDER HEAD REPLACED. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE HEAD CONTAINED A KNOWN DEFECT. AT 80,000 MILES, THE CYLINDER HEAD HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, AS THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A SECOND DEFECTIVE HEAD WHEN THEY PERFORMED THE FIRST REPAIR. AT 127,000 MILES, THE CYLINDER HEAD HAS FAILED AGAIN, AS APPARENTLY THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A DEFECTIVE HEAD WHEN THEY PERFORMED THE SECOND REPLACEMENT.
