2006 Hummer H3 Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE SUDDENLY PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HIM. IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE, THE DRIVER IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE LEAF SPRINGS SUDDENLY FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE'S "U" BOLTS, SHACKLE BOLTS, AND REAR SHACKLES FRACTURED. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE DRIVE SHAFT TO DETACH FROM THE TRANSFER CASE AND THE REAR AXLE TO LAY AGAINST THE REAR MUD FLAPS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DRAGON AUTO BODY SHOP WHERE ALL DAMAGED PARTS WERE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INFORMED AN UNKNOWN HUMMER DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8/3115342180. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,520. UPDATED 11/01/17*LJ *JS

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.

SIMPLY MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, A TREMENDOUS CLUNK WAS HEARD. AFTER STOPPING, PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING CRACKED IN HALF, NEAR WHERE LEAF SPRING ATTACHES TO FRAME. THERE WAS NO EXTRA LOAD ON SUSPENSION THAN USUAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR LEAF SPRING FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AND PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE DUE TO THE FAILURE. A DEALER (WEBER CHEVROLET GRANITE CITY, 3499 PROGRESS PKWY, GRANITE CITY, IL 62040, (618) 451-7913) STATED THAT THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURER RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. UPDATED 09/06/17*LJ *CN

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.

TRUCK WILL NOT START FOR NO APPARENT REASON. KEY TURNS, SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL START BUT DOES NOT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OTHER HUMMER OWNERS TOO. I JUST HAD IT TOWED ONCE AGAIN TO THE MECHANICS SHOP. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME WITHIN ONE YEAR. UNABLE TO LEAVE MY HOUSE DURING AN EMERGENCY, CHILD RELATED.

1) 1.5 YEARS AGO WE STARTED GETTING "MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 5" CODE AND NOW IT IS MULTIPLE MISFIRES. 2) MY FANCY RIMS ARE PEELING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, LOCKED UP, AND DID NOT RESTART. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED LATER AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE THE FOLLOWING CODES WERE RUN FOR THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING: C0240, P0106, P0601. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AS IT APPROACHED A STOP. WHILE IDLING, THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW CYLINDER HEAD AND SENSORS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. UPDATED 07/12/17*LJ *CN

DRIVER SEATBELT GETS STUCK AND I CAN'T GET OUT. CAR WON'T START. WAIT TEN MINUTES WITH THE KEY IN FIRST POSITION THEN IT STARTS. IT WILL TAKE SOME GIRL LIKE MYSELF STUCK IN A DARK PARKING LOT WITH A CAR THAT DOESN'T START FOR TEN MINUTES.

THIS COMPLAINT IS CONCERNING THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM ON MY HUMMER H3. MY H3 HAS BEEN NOT STARTING DUE TO THE VEHICLE THINKING IT IS BEING STOLEN. IT HAS BECOME A FREQUENT PROBLEM AND IS REALLY FRUSTRATING. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING IT WAS, MAYBE 6 MONTHS BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW, IT IS HAPPENING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. THIS MORNING I NEEDED TO BRING MY DAUGHTER TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR AN EXTREMELY HIGH FEVER AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD GET MOVING. THIS HAS BECOME THE NORM. TRUCK WON'T START, WAIT 10 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN; TRUCK STARTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND REALLY AN INCONVENIENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE REAR SIDE WHEEL BEGAN TO WOBBLE WITHOUT WARNING THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SPRING SNAPPED AND FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SPRING WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,856. UPDATED 04/19/17 *LJ *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V421000 (VISIBILITY). AFTER THE REPAIR, THE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING UNITS FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATER WORKED PRIOR TO THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000.

I HAVE A 2006 HUMMER H3 AND I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY IGNITION SWITCH CUTTING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD . THERE ARE TIMES THAT MY CAR WILL NOT START DO TO THIS. I'VE HAD IT TESTED AND IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT I'M TAKING ABOUT. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING RECALLED!!!!! SOMEONE'S LIFE CAN BE TAKEN AWAY FOR SOMETHING THAT KEEPS HAPPENING TO THESE HUMMER H3!!!!!

I PURCHASED A 2006 HUMMER H3 WITH ONLY 100K, AFTER PERFORMING A COMPLETE SERVICE I WAS MADE AWARE THE CYLINDER HEADS ARE "DEFECTIVE" THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR 5 MONTHE THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON.. A CODE SCANNER INDICTACTED A #2 CYLINDER MISFIRE REPLACED SPARK PLUG, COIL PACACK AND INJECTOR NO LUCK I WAS INFORMED CYLINDER HEAD NEED TO BE REPLACED, AT WHAT COST DOES THE NHTSA REALIZE THAT THIS WAS A MAJOR MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, YES GM REPLACED CYLINDER HEADS UNDER WARRANTY BUT WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE HEDS AS TO PASS ON THE COST TO THE CONSUMER AS SOON AS THE WARRANTY EXPIRE TO GET THEIR WARRANTY MONEY BACK., THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND YET NTHSA REFUSES TO INFORM GM OF THE "DEFECT" IT SEAMS ALL THE NTSHA CARES ABOUT IS ELECTRICAL CONCERNS ON VEHICLES, SO WHO MAKE THE DETERMINATION THE A POOR DESIGNED CYLINDER HEAD SHOULD BE THE CONSUMERS PROBLEM. THIS IS WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, IT TOOK A THREAT FROM THE NHTSA FOR GM TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE HVAC CONNECTOR TO GET RESOLVED., IF THE NHTSA CANNOT UNDERSTAND MECHANICAL DEFECTS SHOULD THERE BE A RECALL WHEN MORE THAN 500 COMPLAINTS ARE ACHIEVED. SO NOW I AM OUT OF POCKET $2800.00 THANKS TO A ADMINISTRATION THAT HAS NO CLUE ON MECHANICAL ISSUES. YOU SHOULD HIRE AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS MECHANICAL DEGREE TO HOLD CAR COMPANIES RESPONSIBLE FOR POOR MECHANICAL ISSUES SO WILL I RECEIVE A RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE AS WE ALL KNOW GM HAS INFORMED DEALERS TO GIVE CUSTOMERS EXCUSES AS TO WHY THEY ARE NOT LIABLE, MY CONCLUSIONS INDICATE THAT THE NHTSA ONLY ACTS ON AIR BAGS BRAKE SWITCHES AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES NOTHING MECHANICAL.....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STRUCTURAL FRAME COMPLETELY RUSTED. ALSO, THE LEAF SPRINGS WERE FRACTURED, WHICH WERE A MAJOR PART OF THE VEHICLE'S STRUCTURE AND COULD DAMAGE THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

THERE ARE MANY FORUMS ABOUT CYLINDER MISFIRES - ESPECIALLY AFTER THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. I LOOKED IT UP AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. EVERY HUMMER OWNER I KNOW HAS PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET THEIR PROBLEMS FIXED. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL WHEN SO MANY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM?? THE IDLE IS ROUGH. THE ENGINE SPUTTERS. THE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY.

THE ANTI-THEFT ENGAGES RANDOMLY AND PREVENTS ME FROM STARTING MY CAR. THIS IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT BUT COULD ENDANGER MY SAFETY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LISTED ABOUT THIS DEFECT BY OTHER H3 OWNERS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR LESS THAN 1 MONTH AGO.

PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND FUNCTIONS TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH, IS VERY UNSAFE AT NIGHT. IT ALSO PREVENTS STARTING THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY UNTIL YOU WAIT 10 MINUTES, AFTER IT RESETS.

CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF LEAFSPRING/REAR SUSPENSION. TURNING OUT ONTO ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD SNAP, STEERING WENT CRAZY, ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF CAR. SAW SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WEB. SOME ENDING IN THE TRUCK FLIPPING END OVER END. SEE COMMON THREAD...BAD WELD IN LEAF SPRING AND IT SNAPS RANDOMLY OVER TIME AT WELD. NOTICED SOMEONE ON FORUMS ALSO COMPLAINED WITH THIS NHTSA TRACKING NUMBER (10838131). PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A FIRE STARTED UNDER THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE WIRING HARNESS MELTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POSITIVE WIRE WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V421000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2006 HUMMER H3 SECURITY LOCKOUT ENGAGES RANDOMLY. HAVE REPEATED OCCURRENCES OF ENGINE NOT ENGAGING UPON ENTRANCE TO VEHICLE. HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE IGNITION WILL WORK AGAIN. PROBLEM OCCURS APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES A WEEK. RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2006 H3.

2006 HUMMER H3 SUN ROOF LEAKS AND WATER SEEPING INTO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HAD SAME ISSUE 1 YEAR AGO AND HAD FIXED. SAME PROBLEM JUST UNDER 1 YEAR LATER. NEVER USE SUN ROOF IS NEVER OPENED OR CRACKED BUT BEING TOLD ISSUE STEMS FROM DEBRIS BUILD UP WHICH SHOULD NOT OCCUR AS THE ROOF IS NEVER OPENED. LOOKING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ISSUE HAPPENS DURING RAIN WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING.

WHILE DRIVING, WATER POURS IN FROM THE SUNROOF WHILE RAINING, TO THE POINT MY HEAD, SHIRT AND PANTS ARE COMPLETELY DRENCHED. WHILE DRIVING THE WATER IS COMING DOWN ATOP MY HEAD COMING DOWN MY FACE CREATING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. WATER ALSO DRAINS DOWN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD DUE TO THE SUNROOF SOMEHOW BECOMING BLOCKED WITH DEBRIS. DEFINITELY A MAJOR PROBLEM!! MY CARPETS ARE MOLDY AS A RESULT. MY CAR SMELLS DUE TO THIS OCCURRING AFTER IT RAINS! PLEASE REPAIR THIS DEFECT.

MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START FOLLOWED BY A 10 MINUTE LOCKOUT PERIOD. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FEW DAYS. ONCE THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 10 MINUTED IT WILL START. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WETHER CONDITIONS, WILL PERSIST INTERMITTENTLY ANYTIME OF DAY; DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DUE WITH KEY FOB OR HOW I ENTER THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED BUT FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V421000 (VISIBILITY); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,203. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED HOT AIR AND AN ABNORMAL ODOR ENTERING THROUGH THE VENTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE HAD THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V421000 (VISIBILITY). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (SOUTHTOWNE CHEVROLET BUICK GMC, 695 BULLSBORO DR., NEWNAN, GA 30265) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER UNIT NEEDED FREON, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 39,000. *TT

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY NOT PERMIT YOU TO START THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE ON SEVERAL FORUMS, I SEE THAT THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH HUMMER MODELS, NOT JUST THE H3. IT SEEMS THAT THE IGNITION IS BELIEVING YOU ARE A BURGLAR, AND IT LOCKS YOU OUT FOR 10 MINUTES. AFTER THE 10 MINUTES HAVE PASSED, YOU CAN START THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEM. THE ONLY WAY TO GET AROUND THIS (PER GM) IS TO REPLACE THE IGNITION, BUT SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL INSTEAD OF CONSUMERS HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS FLAW.

APPROXIMATELY AT 150,000 MILES, WHILE MAKING A DELIVERY AT THE COUNTY DISPOSAL FACILITY, WHILE MOVING SLOWLY AND PARKING AT EACH STATION, THE ENGINE STARTED CUTTING OFF AND IDLING VERY POORLY, SLIGHTLY KNOCKING. I MADE IT HOME CHECKED THE OIL' WHICH READ LOW, SO I CHANGED THE OIL, OVER 5 QUARTS REMOVED, IT ONLY REQUIRES 6 QTS MAX, AND I REPLACED IT WITH 5 QUARTS OF FULL SYNTHETIC, WITH BG CLEANERS. INITIALLY IT STARTED, IDLED, AND RAN BETTER BUT AFTER 30 MINUTES THE ENGINE KNOCKS RESUMED. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE ASSESSED AND DIAGNOSED IT, CONCLUDING THAT THE ENGINE WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACING. I HAD IT THAT CONFIRMED WITH ANOTHER MECHANIC. WENT ON THE HUMMER FORUM BLOGS AND READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ENGINE AND PISTONS WARPING OR DYING BETWEEN 75K-150K. MOST BLAMING GM FOR PUTTING IN DEFECTIVE PISTONS OR AND UNDERSIZED ENGINE 3.5L IN A HEAVY ALL 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE? NOT SURE WHERE TO GO FROM HERE, A USED OR REFURBISHED ENGINE IS $2500-$3500, WITH INSTALLATION ANOTHER$3000-$3500? I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S WORTH THE STEEP INVESTMENT?

MY SUNROOF HAS BEEN LEAKING, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT CHIMES OUT BEHIND & BELOW THE GLOVE BOX. ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IT LEAKS DIRECTLY FROM THE SUNROOF ONTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT, AND BEHIND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. BOTH SIDES SOAK THE FLOORBOARDS FRONT & BACK. IT LEAKS WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, HOWEVER WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING DURING A RAIN STORM, WHEN YOU MOVE IT, SHEETS OF WATER POUR DOWN FROM THE SUNROOF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR TURN SIGNALS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

WHEN TRYING TO START MY HUMMER IT TURNS OVER BUT WILL NOT FIRE. AFTER 10 MINUTES, FIRES RIGHT UP. TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE A SECURITY/THEFT PROBLEM.

ONSTAR EMERGENCY REQUEST BUTTON, AND ALL OTHER ONSTAR BUTTONS DO NOT TRANSMIT OR RECEIVE. A VERIZON MESSAGE ANNOUNCES "NO PHONE SERVICE AVAILABLE." HAPPEN AT ALL TIMES, IN ALL CONDITIONS. VERIZON, GM AND ONSTAR EACH DENY ITS THEIR PROBLEM.

ON MARCH 20, 2016 WE HEAR A VERY LOUD BANG IN THE REAR OF THE HUMMER.. REAR MAIN LEAF SPRING BROKE OFF. WE ALSO HAVE THE LOUD BANG WHEN YOU PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. BOTH ARE BEING INVESTIGATED BY GM ENGINEERS @JOHN.CRIUITT@GM.COM. 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.

THE FACIA ON THE TOP OF THE HOOD FLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION ON A STREET HIT ANOTHER CAR IT WAS A RECALL THAT THE DEALER SAID HAD BEEN FIXED ALL THEY DID WAS PUT GLUE ON IT

SOMETIMES WHEN I GO TO START MY CAR IT WILL NOT START. THEN I WAIT EXACTLY 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS NOW. IT HAPPENS ABOUT SIX TIMES A MONTH

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...

TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING OR NOT START. WHEN DRIVING TRUCK AND IT BEGINS TO SHUT OFF, MENU WILL SAY, "REDUCED POWER." THEN IT WILL SAY, "STABILITY SYSTEM IMMOBILIZED." THE TRUCK WILL NOT START UP. THE SECURITY ICON ON THE DASH WILL BE LIT UP. AFTER SITTING AND WAITING FOR 10 MINS OR SO, THE TRUCK WILL START AND IS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON MAIN STREETS, HIGHWAYS, BACK ROADS.. ETC.

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.

MY 2006 H3 HAS SPORADIC ISSUES WITH STARTING FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT WILL CRANK FINE BUT WILL NOT START. IF I WAIT APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES & TRY AGAIN, IT STARTS WITH NO PROBLEMS. DURING THIS ISSUE, EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS IN THE VEHICLE (RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC..). I'VE HAD IT CHECKED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS & REPLACED LOTS OF PARTS BUT DIDN'T HELP THIS ISSUE AT ALL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS REFERENCE THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE ONLINE & THROUGH NHTSA BUT NOBODY HAS HAD ANY POSITIVE RESPONSES. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM AS A RECALL. I WILL BE PART OF THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THROUGH THESE THREADS RELATED TO THIS HUMMER H3 ISSUE. THANK YOU & WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE GM ISSUE.

WHEN I START VEHICLE SMOKE BLOWS OUT THE EXHAUST FOR 30-90 SECONDS THEN IT IS GONE. SITTING STILL AND ONLY DOES IT WHEN IT STARTS UP. GOOGLED THIS AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. HEAD GASKET LEAKING INTO VALVES. THIS IS A HEADACHE FOR TONS OF HUMMER OWNERS, SO WHY HAVEN'T THEY ISSUED A RECALL? STARTED LAST YEAR, POSSIBLY IN 2015 AND I'VE JUST KEPT AN EYE ON THE OIL AND KEEP REFILLING AS NEEDED.

BLOWER MOTOR RECALL ISSUE. BURNING ELECTRICAL ODOR COMING FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. COINCIDES WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR RECALL. THIS CANNOT BE RESOLVED SOON ENOUGH.

PASS LOCK SYSTEM PROHIBITS TRUCK FROM STARTING. HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES WHEN IT DECIDES TO WORK. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THIS TRUCK COST THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY.
