AIR BAGS
AIR BAG LIGHT ON. UNABLE TO REMEDY ON OWN. DEALER FOUND CODES B0092 AND 23 IN DIAGNOSTIC. STATED NEEDED NEW PPS MODULE AND "NEEDS PASSENGER SEATBELT BUCKEL SENSOR AND RE-PROGRAMMING". ADVISED THAT PASSENGER AIR BAG MAY NOT EMPLOY DUE TO NEEDED REPLACEMENT. COST $140 FOR DIAGNOSIS; AND $1200 FOR SENSOR REPLACEMENT. BEING UNABLE TO AFFORD THIS COSTLY REPAIR, AND BELIEVING THIS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE HUMMER ITSELF, WE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO REPORT SAFETY ISSUE. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE PART OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAULTY SENSOR. THERE HAD BEEN NO ACCIDENT OR REASON FOR DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAG. SENSOR, FOR UNEXPLAINED REASONS, JUST STOP WORKING. AT THIS TIME, WE STILL HAVE NOT FIXED THIS. IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, WE HAVE TALKED TO THREE SEPERATE OWNERS OF THE 2007 HUMMER H3, WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, AND HAVE HIT THE SAME WALL WITH GM. WE, AND THE OTHER OWNERS, CONSIDER THIS TO BE A EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, AND LEADING TO RECALL FOR FAULTY SENSORS.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED APPROXIMATELY 7 YEARS AGO. I WAS TAKING MY VEHICLE THROUGH AN AUTOMATED CAR WASH AND THE HOOD VENT CAME COMPLETELY OFF. I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2010 CONCERNING THIS PART BUT I NEVER GOT NOTIFICATION. WHEN I LOOK UP BY MY VIN, IT STATES NO RECALLS. WHY NOT? I NOTICED IT WAS LOOSE AT ONE LOWER CORNER AND ALREADY HAD DISCUSSED FIXING IT WITH THE BODY SHOP. I NEED THE HOOD VENT REPLACED NOW SINCE IT TORE THE LATCHES LOOSE FROM THE TOP. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE WOULD NOT START CALLED DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED - REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH AFTER DIAGNOSIS. SINCE THEN HAVE HAD REPEATED EPISODES OF VEHICLE IGNITION/ELECTRICAL JUST SHUTTING COMPLETELY DOWN ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I COULD BE SITTING OR APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN UPON TAKING OFF OR IDLING DOWN, VEHICLE ALSO SHUTS DOWN WHEN MAKING TURNS AS WELL. IT OCCURS SO INFREQUENTLY AND HAS NO PATTERN BUT IT IS INDEED A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I HAVE TO PUT ON THE FLASHERS AND TAKE TIME TO RESTART THE ENGINE ALL BEFORE SOMEONE RUNS INTO ME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON FOR VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THEN WENT OUT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN. WENT TO CHEVY DEALER WHO RAN A QUICK CODE CHECK WHICH INDICATED THE NUMBER 5 CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING. THE CHEVY DEALER INDICATED THE ENGINE/POWER TRAIN WARRRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE PROBLEM COULD BE FROM INJECTORS, PLUGS, COIL AND VALVES. INITIAL COMPUTER CHECK WOULD COST $135. VEHICLE IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE AWAITING MONEY TO GET IT CHECKED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR CONNECTOR LOCATED UNDER THE GLOVE BOX WAS BURNT, THE RED PLASTIC ON THE HARNESS WAS MELTED. THE REASON I BECAME AWARE OF THIS IS BECAUSE THE BLOWER QUIT WORKING. I LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE AND FOUND IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. I FEEL ANYTIME YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I FEEL IT IS FAIR TO ASSUME THE NEW RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS WILL DO THE SAME THING SINCE IT IS THE EXACT SAME DESIGN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM:FAN/MOTOR
I HAVE A 2007 H3 HUMMER WITH 81000 MILES. THIS PAST SUMMER I GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND PUT ON MY AIR CONDITIONING ON HIGH. NOTHING CAME OUT OF THE VENTS. BLOWER MOTOR WOULDN'T EVEN MOVE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC AND IT ALL LEAD TO A BURNT OUT BLOWER MOTOR RESISTER. I HAD PURCHASED A NEW ONE AND REPLACED IT TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE IN THE PLUG FROM IT GETTING TO HOT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE H3. I TALKED TO GM SAFETY AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING AND BOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO AGE AND MILES. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS NOT TO BE A RECALL ISSUE. NO BLOWER MOTOR MEANS NO DEFROST ON YOUR WINDSHIELD. DUE TO COLD WINTERS IN NEW YORK YOU NEED THE DEFROST. NOW MY TRUCKS BLOWER MOTOR WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO DUE TO FAULTY WIRE HARNESS IN TRUCK. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE PLUG AND OLD RESISTER. THANK YOU *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2007 HUMMER H3 WHEN IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE STARTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE DASH. HE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ON FIRE UNTIL HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO GO INTO A RESTAURANT. HE DIDN'T EVEN SMELL ANYTHING BURNING AND HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING AROUND 5 MINUTES. PEOPLE WERE POINTING AT HIS CAR TELLING HIM IT WAS ON FIRE. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT TO HIM IN 3-4 MINUTES. THE HUMMER H3 WAS TOTALED OUT BECAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 64,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
JUST HAD MY HUMMER IN 2 WEEKS AGO AT THE GM DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED. HAD BEEN DEALING WITH IT STRANDING ME AND MY KIDS FOR 10 MINUTE PERIODS LONG ENOUGH. ( SOMETIMES LONGER) WHILE IT WAS IN THERE WE ALSO HAD TO GET THE RADIATOR REPLACED DUE TO IT BEING CRACKED. NOW 2 WEEKS LATER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION LIGHT HAVE COME ON. THE TRACTION LIGHT SAYING SERVICE SAB SYSTEM. AFTER READING ALL THE HUMMER PROBLEMS I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS NOT A RECALL ON BOTH THE IGNITION SWITCH AND RADIATOR. THE IGNITION SWITCH BEING FAULTY PUT ME AND MY KIDS IN SITUATIONS IN PLACES FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME THAT WERE NOT SAFE AND AT TIMES WE WERE VERY COLD SINCE WE CAN HAVE BELOW ZERO WEATHER IN COLORADO. THE IGNITION NOT RECOGNIZING THE KEY CAUSING THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE IS RECALL ISSUE AND GM YOU SHOULD BE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS!! *TR
