THEN AFTER I GET MY CAR BACK A FEW DAYS LATER MY BLOWER TO MY HEATER QUIT WORKING FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN I SMELLED A BURNING SMELL, I CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP AGAIN TO TAKE IT BACK AND THERE WAS A CHARRED WIRE AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE WHAT WAS BEING RECALLED.( I RECEIVED THE 1ST LETTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER) , WHICH I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED A 2ND LETTER!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS MORE THAN 3 TIMES. GM HAS KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE SINCE 2009 AND HAS NOT CORRECTED IT. THEY HAVE NO WAY OF KEEPING MY H3 FROM RANDOMLY CATCHING FIRE AND REFUSE TO EXPLORE ANY OPTION OTHER THAN REPLACING WITH SAME DEFECTIVE PART THAT HAS ALREADY FAILED. THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO MY PROPERTY OR LIFE DO TO THIS. TO DATE 43 H3 HAVE BEEN TOTAL LOSS FIRES CAUSED BY THIS ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OWNERS LEFT WITH NO HVAC SYSTEM. MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE IS NOW FORCED TO DRIVE MY 5 YEAR OLD SON TO SCHOOL IN 10 DEGREE WEATHER WITH NO HEAT IN FEAR THAT THE WIRING WILL CATCH FIRE NEXT TIME THE RESISTOR FAILS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM A COMPANY BOASTING 8.3 BILLION DOLLAR SALE PROFITS. THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR HAS BURNED UP ON HEATING AND COOLING AND BURNS OUT RANDOMLY.

AT ANY GIVEN TIME THE ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK. I HAVE TO WAIT EXACTLY 10 MINUTES, THEN IT WILL START AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT HAPPENS HOT OR COLD. IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 3 YEARS NOW AND STARTING TO HAPPEN MORE AND MORE OFTEN. DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS TO INTERMITTENT.
