THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. MY HUMMER WILL NOT TURN ON THEN 10 TO 20 MINUTES GO BY THEN IT'LL START AND IT'S HAPPENING MORE FREQUENT AND TAKING LONGER TO TURN ON. IF YOU GOOGLE "WHY WON'T MY 2006 HUMMER START" THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEM. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS!! I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE ITS NOT A MAINTENCE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP!! THIS IS STARTING TO GET TROUBLE SOME ESPECIALLY WHEN IT DOESN'T START AND YOU HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE. I'M THINKING ABOUT TRADING IT IN BUT I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BECAUSE I PUT A LOT OF MONEY IN IT ALREADY!!

ENGINE
MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED TO START THE ENGINE, THE SECURITY SYSTEM ACTIVATES AND DISABLES THE ENGINE AND PREVENTS IT FROM STARTING FOR 10 MINUTES. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE OVERRIDE SO REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE (ON THE FREEWAY, ON A RR CROSSING, AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, OR WHEREVER, THE ENGINE WILL SPIN BUT WILL NOT CRANK. YOU ARE PUT IN THE SITUATION OF HAVING TO PHYSICALLY PUSH THE VEHICLE OUT OF DANGER OR LET IT SIT UNTIL THE SECURITY SYSTEM RESETS TO ATTEMPT TO START IT. THIS HAS ALSO OCCURRED ON MY 2005 CHEVY COLRADO PICKUP WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH AN IDENTICAL DRIVE TRAIN AS MY H3 HUMMER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, MORE THAN 25.

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.
