THERE ARE MANY FORUMS ABOUT CYLINDER MISFIRES - ESPECIALLY AFTER THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. I LOOKED IT UP AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. EVERY HUMMER OWNER I KNOW HAS PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET THEIR PROBLEMS FIXED. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL WHEN SO MANY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM?? THE IDLE IS ROUGH. THE ENGINE SPUTTERS. THE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IT STARTED ONE MORNING I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T START I WAS GETTING A (NO CRANK NO START).I TESTED THE BATTERY THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED ONLY MONTHS BEFORE AND THE BATTERY WAS FINE, I THEN PROCEEDED TO CHECK MY IGNITION AND STARTER FUSES AND RELAYS ALL WERE REPLACED. I NOTICED I HAD A DASH LIGHT ON THAT WAS A CAR SYMBOL NOT EVER DEALING WITH IT I TALKED TO A GARAGE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ANTI THEFT PASS LOCK SYSTEM AND THAT I COULD CHECK BY LETTING THE KEY ON FOR 10 MINS THEN WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT START IT WORKED AS THEY SAID. THEY SUGGESTED I REPLACE THE LOCK ASSEMBLE WHICH INCLUDED THE LOCK HOUSING,KEY CYLINDER,AND PASS LOCK MODULE.I GOT THE PARTS FROM MY LOCAL DEALER AND HAD THEM REPLACED AND RE LEARNED CAR WORKED FINE NO LIGHT ANY MORE FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. AT THAT TIME I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF DURING DRIVING I GOT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AN IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY KEY OFF AND TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN WHEN I DID SO I NOTICED THAT STUPID RED DASH LIGHT SHAPED LIKE A CAR WAITED THE 10 MINS AS DID BEFORE AND STARTED RIGHT UP TOOK IT RIGHT HOME NOW THE SAME THING BUT IT JUST BLINKS AND WILL NOT GO OFF ANYMORE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM NOT STARTING SOMEWHERE IS ONE THING THAT'S BAD ENOUGH BUT TO HAVE IT SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHEN DRIVING IS SCARY. I HAVE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE REGULARLY AND I'M FINDING OUT THAT THEIR ARE MULTIPLY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES NOT ONLY HUMMER'S BUT MOST GM PRODUCTS. *TR

ENGINE
I PURCHASED A 2006 HUMMER H3 WITH ONLY 100K, AFTER PERFORMING A COMPLETE SERVICE I WAS MADE AWARE THE CYLINDER HEADS ARE "DEFECTIVE" THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR 5 MONTHE THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.. A CODE SCANNER INDICTACTED A #2 CYLINDER MISFIRE REPLACED SPARK PLUG, COIL PACACK AND INJECTOR NO LUCK I WAS INFORMED CYLINDER HEAD NEED TO BE REPLACED, AT WHAT COST DOES THE NHTSA REALIZE THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, YES GM REPLACED CYLINDER HEADS UNDER WARRANTY BUT WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE HEDS AS TO PASS ON THE COST TO THE CONSUMER AS SOON AS THE WARRANTY EXPIRE TO GET THEIR WARRANTY MONEY BACK., THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND YET NTHSA REFUSES TO INFORM GM OF THE "DEFECT" IT SEAMS ALL THE NTSHA CARES ABOUT IS ELECTRICAL CONCERNS ON VEHICLES, SO WHO MAKE THE DETERMINATION THE A POOR DESIGNED CYLINDER HEAD SHOULD BE THE CONSUMERS PROBLEM. THIS IS WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, IT TOOK A THREAT FROM THE NHTSA FOR GM TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE HVAC CONNECTOR TO GET RESOLVED., IF THE NHTSA CANNOT UNDERSTAND MECHANICAL DEFECTS SHOULD THERE BE A RECALL WHEN MORE THAN 500 COMPLAINTS ARE ACHIEVED. SO NOW I AM OUT OF POCKET $2800.00 THANKS TO A ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS NO CLUE ON MECHANICAL ISSUES. YOU SHOULD HIRE AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS MECHANICAL DEGREE TO HOLD CAR COMPANIES RESPONSIBLE FOR POOR MECHANICAL ISSUES SO WILL I RECEIVE A RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE AS WE ALL KNOW GM HAS INFORMED DEALERS TO GIVE CUSTOMERS EXCUSES AS TO WHY THEY ARE NOT LIABLE, MY CONCLUSIONS INDICATE THAT THE NHTSA ONLY ACTS ON AIR BAGS BRAKE SWITCHES AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES NOTHING MECHANICAL.....

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO BE DEAD: SOMETIMES STARTS, SOMETIMES DOESN'T. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE AND PROBLEM REMAINS. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? I LOVE MY HUMMER, BUT I AM AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE IN IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET STRANDED WHEN IT IS BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE. CURRENTLY I HAVE TO CARRY A SPARE BATTERY AND JUMPER CABLES IN MY BACKSEAT JUST TO GET IT STARTED WHEN THIS PROBLEM ACTS UP. ALSO AFFECTING MY ABILITY TO WORK AND TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY. STRONGLY SUGGEST A CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

I HAVE BEEN HAVING SECURITY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS. KEEPS ME STRANDED AT TIMES UNTIL THE SYSTEM RESETS ITSELF. MY HOOD IS RATTLING AND AM AFRAID ONE DAY IT WILL COME OFF. DON'T WANT TO TRADE IT IN BUT MAY NOT HAVE A CHOICE. IF COMPANIES ARE AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS THEY NEED TO FIX THEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. IT IS A TOTAL SHAME THAT CONSUMERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND BY THE WAY PAYING HIGH CAR OR TRUCK NOTES A MONTH AND HAVING TO DEAL WITH EXTRA PROBLEMS WE DON'T NEED OR WANT. FIX EVERYTHING RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND THERE WON'T BE SO MANY COMPLAINTS COMING YOUR WAY. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN MORE THAN ONCE FOR RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SUED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

ON 11/13/2016 WITH 80,300+ MILES , I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST NO START CONDITION DUE TO "PASSLOCK THEFT-DETERRENT SYSTEM" INDICATOR BLINKING WHEN I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE
APPROXIMATELY AT 150,000 MILES, WHILE MAKING A DELIVERY AT THE COUNTY DISPOSAL FACILITY, WHILE MOVING SLOWLY AND PARKING AT EACH STATION, THE ENGINE STARTED CUTTING OFF AND IDLING VERY POORLY, SLIGHTLY KNOCKING. I MADE IT HOME CHECKED THE OIL' WHICH READ LOW, SO I CHANGED THE OIL, OVER 5 QUARTS REMOVED, IT ONLY REQUIRES 6 QTS MAX, AND I REPLACED IT WITH 5 QUARTS OF FULL SYNTHETIC, WITH BG CLEANERS. INITIALLY IT STARTED, IDLED, AND RAN BETTER BUT AFTER 30 MINUTES THE ENGINE KNOCKS RESUMED. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE ASSESSED AND DIAGNOSED IT, CONCLUDING THAT THE ENGINE WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACING. I HAD IT THAT CONFIRMED WITH ANOTHER MECHANIC. WENT ON THE HUMMER FORUM BLOGS AND READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ENGINE AND PISTONS WARPING OR DYING BETWEEN 75K-150K. MOST BLAMING GM FOR PUTTING IN DEFECTIVE PISTONS OR AND UNDERSIZED ENGINE 3.5L IN A HEAVY ALL 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE? NOT SURE WHERE TO GO FROM HERE, A USED OR REFURBISHED ENGINE IS $2500-$3500, WITH INSTALLATION ANOTHER$3000-$3500? I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S WORTH THE STEEP INVESTMENT?
