ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE (UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX) CAUGHT ON FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE PERSON FROM THE PARKING LOT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (LAKESIDE CHEVROLET BUICK, 10215 W MAIN RD, NORTH EAST, PA 16428; (814) 746-4300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD, WINDSHIELD, WIRE HARNESS, AND CARPETS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V421000 AND 10V179000 (VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE.

AIR BAGS
MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY IN HIS 2008 HUMMER H3, AND BOTH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. IT SOUNDED LIKE A CANNON WENT OFF IN THE VEHICLE WITH US. OUR EARDRUMS HURT FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. WE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, WHO REFUSED TO PAY STATING IT WAS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. WE CONTACTED GM, WHO DID AN INVESTIGATION AND CONCLUDED THAT THE AIRBAGS "FUNCTIONED AS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO". WHEN WE ASKED HOW THAT COULD BE POSSIBLE, AND WHAT THE INVESTIGATION SHOWED, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE INFORMATION WAS CONFIDENTIAL. THE GENTLEMAN THAT GM SENT TO TAKE PICTURES OF OUR DRIVEWAY FOR THE INVESTIGATION EVEN COMMENTED THAT HE DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THEM TO DEPLOY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING WHILE TRAVELING DOWN ONE'S DRIVEWAY IN A VEHICLE THAT IS MADE FOR CLIMBING MOUNTAINS AND SUCH, COULD BE CONSIDERED AS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THESE AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY IN A ROLLOVER EVENT. A SIMPLE ONLINE SEARCH WILL REVEAL THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE TO OTHER PEOPLE. IT'S OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE SENSOR, AND A DANGEROUS ONE AT THAT. IF WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE OR A BUSY ROAD AND THEY HAD DEPLOYED, WE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED. I DRIVE A SMALL FOUR CYLINDER CAR DOWN OUR DRIVEWAY ON A DAILY BASIS TO GO TO WORK, AND MY AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER GONE OFF ON ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AN OFFICIAL RECALL HASN'T BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS.

ENGINE
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2009 HUMMER H3T THAT HAD A RECALL FOR A BLOWER RESISTOR AND HARNESS ASSEMBLY DEFECT THAT COULD CATCH FIRE. I HAVE HAD THE SAME HARNESS AND RESISTOR REPLACED TWICE NOW FOR THE SAME REASON OF MELTING. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN VERY HELPFUL IN RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM. THEY ARE TELLING ME SINCE I HAVE HAD THE RECALL COMPLETED WHICH REALLY WASN'T THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. BACK GROUND HISTORY IS THE ITEMS FIRST FAILED IN 2013 AND I PAID TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. THE RECALL CAME OUT AND THEY COUNTED THE PREVIOUS REPAIR AS THE FIX. EVEN THOUGH THE MANUFACTURING DATE OF THE HARNESS THAT JUST FAILED AGAIN WAS 2012. THEY WILL NOT TELL ME IF THE RECALL PRODUCED A REDESIGNED PART OR NOT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THE CORRECT PARTS INSTALLED OR DEFECTIVE ONES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OVER, BATTERY IS FINE, BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT START, DUE TO THE ON-BOARD SECURITY SYSTEM THINKING THAT THE VEHICLE IS BEING STOLEN. THIS FREQUENT PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE NHTSB NUMEROUS TIMES AND TO GM WITH NO RESULTS. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT IF YOU GOOGLE: 2006 HUMMER3 STARTING PROBLEMS, YOU WILL SEE A LONG LIST OF EXACTLY THE SAME COMPLAINTS. THIS SITUATION SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL AND REPAIR AT GM'S EXPENSE. THE CURRENT REMEDY IS TO SIT AND WAIT 10 MINUTES UNTIL THE SECURITY SYSTEM RESETS AND THEN THE VEHICLE CAN BE STARTED. THIS CONDITION OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND IS NOT COVERED AT ALL IN THE OWNERS MANUAL.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NEEDED RECALL FOR HUMMER H3. "REDUCED POWER/SERVICE STAB SYSTEM/TRACTION" NOTIFICATION THAT APPEARS WITHOUT WARNING, AND IMMEDIATELY DROPS THE ENGINE TO ALMOST NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING IN LOCAL TRAFFIC, THEN ON THE INTERSTATE AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. GM HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE, EVEN AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THIS VERY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION WITHOUT SUCCESS, THEY ARE UNWILLING TO ADDRESS IT WITH A RECALL. THE MOST DANGEROUS OF THE NUMEROUS TIMES THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 4/27/17. I HAD JUST LEFT MOSES GM OF CHARLESTON, WV AFTER THEY HAD REPAIRED THE VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES ON INTERSTATE 64 BEFORE LOSING POWER, AND ALMOST BEING STRUCK BY A VEHICLE ON THE SOUTH CHARLESTON BRIDGE. THE DEALERSHIP TOWED ME BACK TO THE SERVICE CENTER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS ONCE AGAIN UNSUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES AROUND THE SAME TIME PERIOD, AND NOT JUST THE HUMMER LINE. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
