ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE JUST LOST POWER AND ALMOST LOST IGNITION WHILE DRIVING 50 MILES AN HOUR. DIAGNOSTIC CODE STATE, MISFIRE IN CYLINDER ONE. VALVE SPRINGS ( ROCKER ARM) ARE BREAKING PREMATURELY CAUSING A LEAKING VALVE PROBLEM. MECHANIC ALSO NOTICED OTHER SPRINGS WERE FATIQUED CAUSING A LOOSER THAN NORMAL SEATING. GM SERVICE MANAGER MENTION A SPRING PROBLEM ON 2006 2007 RENDEVOUS. ONE OF THE LARGEST COMPLAINTS WITH THE HUMMER 3 IS THIS LEAKY VALVE SYNDROM WHICH THE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT. SOME OCCURING WITH THE VEHICLE HAVING ONLY 30,000 PLUS MILES.

I TOLD HIM NO FOR HIM TO GO AHEAD AND FIX IT FOR A HUNDRED BECAUSE IF I TAKE IT BACK TO GM POAGE WHAT OTHER TRICK DO THEY HAVE UP THERE SLEVE IF THEY FIX IT. SO HE DID AND IT SHOWED MULTIPLE MISFIRES AND A STEADY MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 5 TOLD THEM TO FIX IT COSTING 1929.90 CAR HAS BEEN IN TWO DIFFERENT SHOPS TWO WEEKS AT THE GM DEALER POAGE AUTO MALL IN DECATUR ILLINOIS VERY DISAPPOINTED ON THERE BEHAVIOR OF BEING SHADY IF THEY HAD IT HOOKED UP FOR TWO WEEKS ON A CODE READER WHY DIDN'T THEY SEE MISFIRES.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I KEEP GETTING A CODE THAT STATES THAT MY TRUCK RUNS WITH A LOW ENGINE TEMPERATURE. PLUS MY TRUCK HAS HAD A LEAK FROM SOME WHERE AROUND THE LOWER WINDSHIELD THAT IS CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SOAKING WET FLOORS! WE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK FOR THE LEAK AND TRY TO FIX THIS ISSUE BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND WE WERE ALSO TOLD BY A FEW DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A LOT OF H3 HUMMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM! ALSO WE ARE HAVING ISSUES THAT CAUSES THE TRACTION SIGNAL TO COME ON REGULARLY AND IT CAUSES MY TRUCK TO LOCK UP. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED US TO WRECK SEVERAL TIMES! IT'S VERY SCARY TO DRIVE MY HUMMER! EVERY TIME WE HAVE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WE ARE ALWAYS IN MOTION AND IT'S ALWAYS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN WE ARE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. IT NEVER SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN!! THIS HAS BEEN CONTINUING GOING ON EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2014

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM HUMMER (GM) IN AUGUST 2015 FOR MY 2007 HUMMER H3. IT IS SAFETY RECALL 15042. THE LETTER INDICATED THAT IT WAS A SAFETY RECALL STATING THE CONNECTOR MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE BLOWER MOTOR SPEED IN THE HEAT/VENT/AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) SYSTEM MAY OVERHEAT UNDER EXTENDED OPERATIONAL PERIODS AT HIGH AND MEDIUM-HIGH BLOWER SPEEDS. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS THERE COULD BE A RISK OF FIRE. THE LETTER SAID PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE AND WHEN THEY WERE I WOULD BE CONTACTED TO ARRANGE A SERVICE APPOINT. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS AND NO CALL, I CONTACTED THE NUMBER, 1-800-833-6537, AND ASKED WHAT THE HOLD-UP IS ON THE PARTS? I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE STILL UNAVAILABLE. AFTER SEVERAL MORE MONTHS, I CALLED AGAIN ONLY TO RECEIVE THE SAME EXCUSE WITH NO PROJECTED DATE OF ARRIVAL. TO ME THIS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY THIS RECALL INVOLVES A POTENTIAL RISK OF A FIRE. IT IS NOW MARCH 2016 AND I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES SO LONG TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENTS. I AM HESITANT TO USE THE BLOWER MOTOR BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FIRE RISK.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE RADIATOR HAS A CRACK IN IT WHICH IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE...NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MY H3 WAS IDLING ROUGH AND WOULD SHUT OFF. HAD TO REPLACE THROTTLE BODY AND SOLENOID. THE ANTI-THEFT ACTS UP AND THE H3 WON'T START HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES. THE AC BLOWER AND CONNECTOR BURNT PAID FOR IT TO GET FIXED THEN THE RECALL COMES OUT 7 DAYS LATER....STILL HAVEN'T BEEN REFUNDED FOR THAT. I HAVE ALL THE ISSUES ON MY 2007 H3 THAT SHOULD ALL BE RECALLED AND FIXED AT GM EXPENSE. SUNROOF DRAINS GET CLOGGED ALL THE TIME AND HAVE WATER LEAK ONTO THE FLOOR WHICH MAKES THE ABS LIGHT TRIGGER ON AND OFF. ISSUE AFTER ISSUE WHICH GM DOESN'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S TIME TO SELL THE HUMMER H3!!
