BOTH ARE BEING INVESTIGATED BY GM ENGINEERS @[email protected]. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN SOLD BY THE DEALER AUTO SERV OF TILTON, NH. THEY WILL NOT MAKE GOOD ON THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME WAS LITERALLY GOING 15 MILES PER HOUR. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY!! WE HAVE THE OLD LEAF SPRINGS HOME WITH US FOR PROOF.

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

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 HUMMER H3 FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS AND ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO IT BEGAN NOT WANTING TO START. NOT WANTING TO START NO MATTER WHAT I DO AND THEN STARTING LIKE NOTHING WAS EVER WRONG AFTER 10 MINUTES. I'M TIRED OF THIS HAPPENING! MY H3 JUST TURNED 50K MILES AND I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE THE WEATHER IS WARM... THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. AS A RETIRED FLORIDA POLICE OFFICER I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE... THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET INSIDE YOUR VEHICLE AND START IT UP AND LEAVE AT YOUR CONVENIENCE AND NOT WHEN YOUR VEHICLE DECIDES TO... THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH HUMMER H3'S I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE... GO TO CARGURUS.COM AND READ SOME FOR YOURSELVES... HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT MY WIFE BEING STUCK SOMEWHERE ALONE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING... I PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS TO HER... THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. REALLY HOPE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED... THANKS IN ADVANCE...

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
EVERY SO OFTEN THE PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND MY HUMMER WON'T START. I HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. IT FAILS WITHOUT WARNING. ITS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. THERE WAS ONLY 55,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHEN I NOTICED IT STARTING TO ACT UP. I SLICED MY FINGERS OPEN ON A JOB AND HAD TO DRIVE MYSELF TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM BUT MY HUMMER WOULDN'T START BECAUSE OF THE IGNITION SECURITY FAILURE. I LOST A LOT OF BLOOD IN MY HAND SITTING WAITING THE 10 MINUTES. THE DOCTOR SAID I MIGHT LOSE THE TIPS OF MY FINGERS BECAUSE IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET THERE. I'M SURE OTHER PEOPLE HAD WORSE SITUATIONS, BUT I SEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE A LIFE IS LOST IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

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.
