2006 Hummer H3 Complaint Log

I DRIVE A 2006 HUMMER H3. IN SEPT. 08, I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 40 MPH DOWN A ROAD WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY H3 LOCKED UP, SLID SIDEWAYS, AND ALMOST FLIPPED. I DID NOT FLIP, AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SIDE STREET SAFELY. THE CONTROL PANEL READ ABS TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE. I HAD THE H3 TOWED TO THE HUMMER DEALERSHIP IN GEORGETOWN TEXAS. THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BEFORE, BUT WOULD CHECK IT OUT. AFTER 2 DAYS WITHOUT MY TRUCK, THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A SENSOR THAT FAILED AND THEY REPLACED IT. THEN IN OCTOBER 08, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. TRAVELING AROUND 50 MPH I FELT IT START SO I LET OFF THE GAS, AND IT FROZE UP AND ALMOST FLIPPED AGAIN. SAME ERROR CODE ON THE CONTROL PANEL. I DROVE 25 MPH ON A FREEWAYTO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN GEORGETOWN. THEY TOLD ME THIS TIME, IT WAS A DIFFERENT SENSOR. SO I HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR, WHILE THEY FIXED THE OTHER SENSOR. I KEPT ASKING THEM TO TEST ALL SENSORS SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. PLUS, SHOULDN'T A CAR HAVE SOME TYPE OF WARNING SYSTEM BEFORE ALMOST FLIPPING? THEY SAID IT WAS FIXED. NOV. 08, WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR NOISES AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES AND THE ABS SYSTEM. THEY SAID THE ABS WAS FINE. THIS MORNING, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE GYM, AND THE CAR FROZE ON MY AGAIN, ALMOST FLIPPING. SAME ERROR CODE. THE SERVICE REPS. AND MANAGERS DO NOT HAVE ANSWERS FOR ME. THEY SAY I CAN BRING IT IN AGAIN TO GET IT FIXED, BUT TO ME THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED YET. I AM IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE, MY LOVED ONES LIFE, AND MY CLIENTS LIVES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. I WISH I COULD SELL THE CAR, BUT I DON'T FEEL RIGHT DOING THAT, IN FEAR THAT IT MAY FLIP ON THE NEW OWNER. I WANT HUMMER TO BUY THE CAR BACK. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. CONCERNED CONSUMER, DANIEL DEMITRI *TR

PURCHASED A 2006 HUMMER H3 FROM THE SELLER IN THIS COMPLAINT. I PAID EXACTLY $23,250 ALL CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE. HE ACTUALLY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO NEW JERSEY FROM MASS. TO MY RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AS IT ONLY HAD 14K MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT ONLY 3-MONTH'S AGO. ONE WOULD HARDLY THINK OF "HIDDEN" ISSUES AT THAT MILEAGE. IN ANY EVENT, I HAVE HAD REPAIRS TO THE REAR AND FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, AS IT HAD A LEAK AND THE FRONT END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE MOST DISTURBING THING WAS THIS SELLER LIED TO ME AND MISREPRESENTED THE "TRUE" OR ACTUAL CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE. UNFORTUNATELY WHICH WOULD SURFACE AFTER HE LEFT WITH MY $23,250 IN CASH! I WOULD E-MAIL THE SELLER AND TOLD HIM HE MISREPRESENTED HIMSELF AND THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE AND HOW HE APPARENTLY ABUSED IT. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I DISCOVERED "EXCESSIVE" RUST UNDERNEATH THIS VEHICLE. BECAUSE THESE CONDITIONS WERE NOT DIVULGED TO ME BY MR. JOHNSON, I AM HAVING A HARD TIME SELLING THE VEHICLE THAT PRACTICALLY CLEANED OUT ALL OF MY SAVINGS. HE CLAIMED THIS TRUCK WAS GARAGED KEPT AND THAT HE DID NO OFF ROAD RIDING. THIS APPARENTLY IS TOTALLY UNTRUE, AS THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE AS MUCH RUST AS IT IS LOADED WITH FOR A 2006! SO, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT RECOURSE, I MAY HAVE AS A THE BUYER, BESIDES HIRING A PRIVATE ATTORNEY WHO I CAN'T AFFORD, AS I AM ON PERMANENT DISABILITY. THERE MUST I SOMETHING MY I CAN PURSUE UNDER ANY STATE OR FEDERAL CONSUMER LAWS, ESPECIALLY, SINCE THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BY GENERAL MOTORS.. I SHOULD ALSO ADD THAT I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH A LOCAL HUMMER DEALER "ROYAL HUMMER" IN FLORHAM PARK, WHO SEEMED RELUCTANT TO ADDRESS THE MANY ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH THIS HUMMER! I WOULD ALSO APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN FORWARD THIS COMPLAINT TO GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, IN MICHIGAN, AS THEY SHOULD KNOW I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH DEALERS WANTING TO HONOR,AS THEY SHOULD, ANY WARRANTY WORK! I AM PREPARED TO FILE EVERY COMPLAINT I COULD TO GET RESTITUTION FOR THIS APPARENT. *TR

WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN ONLY AROUND 40 MILE PER HOUR WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS ON FREE WAY. IT ONLY HAPPENS RANDOMLY. USUALLY AFTER RAIN.

GENERAL MOTORS ACKNOWLEDGED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WERE REPLACING THE UNIT WITH A DIFFERENT PART THAT THEY BELIEVED WOULD ELIMINATE THE FAILURE. THE REPLACEMENT WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY HAVE NOT CONSIDERED ISSUING A RECALL BECAUSE THEY ARE REPAIRING THE DEFECT AS IT OCCURS.

PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES AND STEERING ON VEHICLE. IN SHOP FOR 3 MONTHS. PICKED UP FROM REPAIR AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE 1 MILE FROM DEALERSHIP WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. DEALER AND TECH CAME AND PICKED UP VEHICLE AND CAN NOT DETERMINE THE REASON. ONGOING PROBLEM FOR MANY MONTHS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE. DEALER HAS VEHICLE. *JB

I NEARLY HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME TODAY. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON MY 2006 HUMMER H3. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, MY SHOE HANGS UP ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND I HAVE TO TURN MY FOOT SIDEWAYS TO GET IT OUT FROM UNDER THE PEDAL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING PROBLEM THAT I AM AFRAID OF. I CAN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM MYSELF AS THE DESIGN IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *JB

THERE WAS A LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR THAT FAILED. THE SENSOR SENT DATA TO THE COMPUTER THAT THE WHEEL WAS SPINNING WHEN IT WASN'T. WITH NO WARNING, THE COMPUTER APPLIED THE BRAKES ABRUPTLY AND FIRMLY. WE WERE IN CITY TRAFFIC AND SPEED WAS SLOW. MY ONLY SAFETY CONCERN AT THIS TIME WAS THAT WE WOULD BE REAR-ENDED AS WE PROBABLY HAD NO BRAKE LIGHT OPERATION AS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT USED. AFTER THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN 3-5 MINUTES, WE THEN GOT DASH ERROR CODES AND LIGHTS THAT THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS HAD FAILED. THE PROBLEM THEN WENT AWAY AS I ASSUME THE COMPUTER TURNED OFF THESE SYSTEMS SINCE THEY HAD FAILED. WE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN TOWING A SMALL U-HAUL TRAILER AND COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS OCCURRED AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH A TRAILER IN TOW, AND EVEN MORE SCARY IF THE ROAD WOULD ALSO HAVE BEEN WET. WHEN WE GOT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, THE WARNINGS HAD RESET, AND I ASSUME THE SYSTEMS WERE ACTIVE AGAIN. LUCKILY AN ERROR CODE WAS STORED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE SERVICE RECEIVED WAS SATISFACTORY, BUT I THINK THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN A SYSTEM THAT WOULD ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO APPLY THE BRAKES WITH NO WARNING AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON. AT THAT TIME, THERE IS NOTHING I AS A DRIVER COULD DO CONCERNING THE BRAKES. IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A REDUNDANT SYSTEM WHERE THERE MUST BE TWO FEEDBACKS THAT AGREE BEFORE THE SYSTEM APPLIES THE BRAKES, AND IF THE TWO FEEDBACKS DO NOT AGREE THEN THE SYSTEM IS DISABLED AND AN ERROR MESSAGE IS GIVEN. THIS CERTAINLY SEEMS TO ME TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY FLAW. THE BAD PART WAS FIXED, BUT I AM NOT SURE I TRUST THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS ONLY ONE FAILURE. NO DAMAGE WAS DONE. HOWEVER, UNDER DIFFERENT HIGHWAY CONDITIONS THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. *TR

I OWN A 2006 HUMMER 3 AUTOMATIC TRANNY: THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY, ALMOST EVERY TIME I GET OUT, AND NONE OF THE OTHERS DO; THIS IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING HE NOTICED THAT THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATED LOW PRESSURE IN THE TIRES. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE TIRES, AND NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR HAD LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE CORROSION IN THE ALLOY OF THE PASSENGER'S REAR WHEEL. THE DEALER DISMOUNTED THE TIRES AND THE CORROSION ADHERED TO THE BEAD OF THE TIRE ,AND 4 INCHES OF THE TIRE STUCK TO THE RIM OF THE TIRE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD PAY TO REPLACE THE TIRE, INCLUDING GRINDING OFF THE CORROSION ON ALL 4 WHEELS. THE CONTACT WANTED NHTSA TO BE AWARE OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED DEALER INFORMED HIM TIRE STRIKING AN OBJECT, WHERE TIRED WAS BADLY CORRODED COULD CAUSE BLOW OUT. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED REPAIR INVOICE. UPDATED 05/23/07 *TR

I HAVE TWO 2006 H3 HUMMERS BOTH WITH THE 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOPPED POSITION IN FIRST GEAR, DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH FOR THE SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR THE ENGINE RPMS REVS TO ABOUT 4000 AND STAYS THERE. SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR & RELEASING THE CLUTCH THE RPMS DROP BACK DOWN. ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 3000-3500 RPMS, DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH, AGAIN THE RPMS CLIMB TO AROUND 4000 AND STAYS THERE. THE SAME THING OCCURS DURING UP SHIFTS ... THIS HAS HAPPENED NO LESS THAN 7 TIMES ON ONE H3 AND 5 TIMES ON THE OTHER H3. THE HUMMER DEALER CAN FIND NO STORED CODES, AND CAN NOT DUPLICATE THIS. GM HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DEALER CAN NOT SUPPLY DEFECT CODES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE AUGUST '06 WITH NO END IN SIGHT. I HAVE ASKED THE ECU BE EITHER REFLASHED OR REPLACED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS TOO COSTLY TO JUST PUT PARTS IN WITHOUT ANY CODES. I BELIEVE THE SOFTWARE COULD BE CORRUPTED. AND IS NOT AWARE ANYTHING IS WRONG. THUS THERE ARE NO CODES. *JB

THE GAS PEDAL IS TOO CLOSE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL, CAUSING YOUR SHOE TO GET STUCK WHEN SWITCHING FROM GAS TO BRAKE. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH TO A RAMP CHANGING TO ANOTHER HIGHWAY, THE CONTACT SLAMMED THE BRAKES WHEN NOTICED THE VEHICLE HIT SOMETHING WHICH RESULTED TO BE A DEER. THE FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE DRIVER SEAT BELT DID NOT RESTRAIN. THE CONTACT SUFFERED CHEST BRUISES AND THE CHILD RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WAS RESTRAINED BY THE SEAT BELT BUT SUFFERED A NECK INJURY. THE AIR BAG IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. THE CONTACT COULD NOT SEE THE OBJECT IMPACTED BECAUSE THE HOOD OPENED COVERING THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT WERE PRESENT AND A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE CONTACT AND THE CHILD WERE EVACUATED TO A HOSPITAL IN A PRIVATE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A BODY SHOP AND WAS DEEMED INOPERABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, WHO INDICATED UPON THE COMPLETION OF THE REPAIRS; TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR THE INSPECTION OF THE SENSORS AND THE SEAT BELT WHICH FAILED TO RESTRAIN THE DRIVER.

VEHICLE LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING - UNABLE TO START AND HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS FOR THE 2ND TIME. *JB

MINE SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM AS STATED BY "CONSUMER COMPLAINT: ODI CASE NUMBER: 10169754." HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK MY H3 IN, ALL THEY DID WAS BLAME IT ON ME STATING I HAD SOMEONE ELSE ALIGN MY BRAND NEW CAR, AND TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, THEY JUST REALIGNED THE VEHICLE TO CENTER THE STEERING WHEEL. I DID ASK HOW THE ALIGNMENT OF EACH WHEEL WAS, AND THEY SAID IT WAS IN THE 'GREEN' BEFORE THEY REALIGNED, SO THAT TELLS ME IT ISN'T SOMETHING THAT I HIT IN THE ROAD TO KNOCK IT OFF CENTER, BUT RATHER SOMETHING INSIDE THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED. THIS SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IF THERE MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE SAME CASE, IT SOUNDS LIKE ONE PERSON'S DEALER ACTUALLY REPLACED A FAILED PART, WHERE MINE DID NOT FOR THE SAME ISSUE. TO THIS DAY I STILL HEAR CLUMKING SOUNDS WHEN I STEER THE CAR, I HOPE THIS ISN'T LEADING TO A COMPLETE FAILURE AND A DEADLY CRASH FOR SOMETHING THAT I HAD ALREADY REPORTED AND ATTEMPTED TO HAVE FIX. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH ON CITY STREETS, THE VEHICLE RAN AND IDLED ROUGH. THE VEHICLE WAS EVENTUALLY DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS THE OIL AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS TURNED ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DECELERATE.

THE FIRST WEEK I OWNED THIS NEW H-3 MY STEERING WENT OUT AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS CLEARLY TILTED. I HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL VERY CROOKED TO GO DOWN THE ROAD STRAIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN 4 TIMES REGARDING THIS SINCE THEY ATTEMPT TO FIX IT BUT THEN A CLUNK IS HEARD AND IT GOES OUT OF ALIGNMENT AGAIN. THEY REPLACED SOME SORT OF PART IN THE STEERING COLUMN BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM SINCE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW A FACTORY REP. HAS DECIDED IT COULD BE THE POWER STEERING AND THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED THAT THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN ACCIDENT IS INEVITABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS SINCE I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE'S STEERING LOCKED WHEN EITHER GOING THROUGH HARD LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. THE WHEELS DID NOT COME BACK TO CENTER, AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A DITCH. THE SERVICE DEALER DETERMINED THE STEERING ISSUE WAS A BASIC FEATURE FOR THE STEERING OF THE VEHICLE.*AK

MY WIFE'S NEW 2006 HUMMER H3 SAFETY BELT WOULD NOT UNLOCK. MAKING MY WIFE STUCK IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY WIFE BEING PREGNANT THERE WAS NO WAY TO RELEASE HER FROM THE SEAT BELT.

THE THIRD TIME THE #1 CYLINDER COIL WAS REPLACED AND THE FOURTH TIME THERE WAS A LOSE WIRE. THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING ON ONLY FOUR CYLINDERS. THE PROBLEM RECURRED AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP.

HEATED SEATS WILL TURN ON AT VARIOUS TIMES. BELIEVE IT TO BE FROM THE SHUTTING OF THE DOOR. HAVE CHECKED THE SWITCH UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND NOTED IT IN THE OFF POSITION AND WHEN DRIVING HAVING THE SEAT HEAT UP. *NM
