RADIATOR END TANK RUPTURED RELEASING COOLANT ON EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD AND GETTING ON THE WINDSHIELD. RESEARCH OF THIS FINDS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE FACTORY RADIATOR WHICH GM REFUSES TO TAKE ACTION ON. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH WORSE SITUATION. *TR

ENGINE
I BOUGHT A 2008 HUMMER H3 FOUR MONTHS AGO AT 49,956 MILES, WHEN LAST WEEK I NOTICED I HAD A BAD COOLANT LEAK CAUSING THE FLUIDS TO REMAIN ON THE TOP OF THE ENGINE, THE FAN SHROUD, ETC. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM BECAUSE ITS A 48 MILES DRIVE AND DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF ANYTHING OVERHEATING. TOOK IT IN ON FRIDAY MORNING GOT IT BACK MONDAY AFTERNOON WHEN I WAS TOLD THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE MILEAGE WHEN THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVED IT ON FRIDAY WAS 52,547. *TR

THE RADIATOR HAD A CRACK IN IT WHEN WE BOUGHT THE HH3,IN 6-2011 WHICH WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW FACTORY RADIATOR. IT IS NOW MARCH 0F 2013 AND WE HAVE ANOTHER CRACK IN THE RADIATOR. WE CONTACTED" SAVVY" GOODYEAR IN LONG BEACH ,NEW YORK WHO REPLACED THE FIRST ONE AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED. REALLY DOES A RADIATOR ONLY LAST 2 YEARS. THEY INDICATED THAT GMC WOULD NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT. I SEE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL VEHICLES SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL? *TR

I WASN'T DRIVING FAST AT ALL ACTUALLY WAS GOING UNDER THE ALLOTTED SPEED LIMIT. BUT DUE TO MY INJURIES THE HAD TO EXTRACATE ME FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO BE A TOTAL LOSS BECAUSE THEY HAD TO CUT IT APART RUNNING MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY. I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL. *TR

I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT WHY MY HEATER BLOWER WAS NOT WORKING AND THERE WERE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WIRING HARNESS AND RESISTOR BURNING OUT. I CHECKED MINE AND SURE ENOUGH MINE WAS BURNT ON THE WIRING HARNESS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PLASTIC. GM NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT WOULD CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION LIKE THAT CAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, STEERING:RACK AND PINION
I HAVE A 08 HUMMER H3 AND JUST FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE A CRACKED RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 52,891 MILES ON IT. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ALOT TO THE 07 AND 08 HUMMER H3. I THINK WE NEED A RECALL ON THIS. ALL OF THE FORUMS I HAVE SEEN HAVE HAD THEIRS CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE. ALL ON TOP OF THE RADIATORS. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO. I KNOW PERSONALLY I AM TIRED OF SOMETHING GOING WRONG ON THIS. FIRST WAS THE RACK AND PINION WITH ONLY 50,844 MILES AND NOW THIS. COME ON ITS TIME FOR A RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM
SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC AND THE A/C STOPPED BLOWING. THE A/C WORKS ON THE LOWER SPEEDS. BURNT/MELTED PLUG ON THE A/C RESISTOR PLUG. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ONLINE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH H3'S AT ABOUT 40-60K MILES. WHY WONT GM DO A RECALL IF THIS IS A DAILY PROBLEM WITH H3 OWNERS. HOW MANY H3'S HAVE CAUGHT FIRE FROM THIS ? IT WAS OVER A 110 DEGREES WHEN MINE WENT OUT. WHAT IF I HAD YOUNG CHILD OR AN ELDERLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AT THAT TEMP ? *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
PROBLEM: REAR PASSENGER DOORS WHEN DRIVING IN WET MUD,SLUSH FREEZE REAR PASSENGER DOORS SHUT IN FREEZING WEATHER... YOU CAN NOT GET DOORS OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUT.... CHILDREN OR ADULTS WILL BE TRAPPED INSIDE REAR PASSENGER SEAT WITH REALLY NO WAY OUT... THERE IS NO REAR CARGO MANUAL DOOR RELEASE EITHER... MOST ADULTS COULD NOT GET OVER SEAT FRONT OR REAR SEAT TO TRY AND EXIT VEHICLE ANYWAY.... THIS DOOR FREEZING HAS HAPPENED TO ME (3) TIMES WHEN DRIVING ON WET SLUSH OR MUDDY ROADS IN FREEZING WEATHER......THE REAR DOORS TAKE IN THESE ELEMENTS BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGNED REAR DOOR SEALS... WHEN I SAY FROZEN SHUT, I MEAN REALLY FROZEN.... THESE ELEMENTS ALSO MAKE IT INTO THE SIDES OF THE REAR SEATS.... I WILL REPORT THIS CONDITION TO GM HUMMER BUT I BELIEVE I'LL ONLY GET A RUN AROUND.... I FEEL THIS COULD BE A DEATH TRAP FOR CHILDREN OR ANYONE... THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.... IF YOU CAN PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE..... *TR
