2007 Hummer H3 Complaint Log

TODAY I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU FOR YOUR HELP. THIS LETTER IS IN REFERENCE TO THE GM RECALL ON THE HUMMER H3 A/C MODULE RESISTOR THAT WAS ISSUED IN JULY OF 2015. MY WIFE AND I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SITE. I ASK THAT THE NHTSA DEMAND GM ESTABLISH A TIMELINE FOR THE COMPLETION OF A CORRECTED PART AND THAT GM PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE ALTERNATIVE OPTION TO GM CUSTOMERS FACED WITH THIS ISSUE UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. MY CONCERN IS OVER MY WELL-BEING AS WELL AS MY FAMILIES. ON MONDAY AUGUST 31, 2015, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY GLOVE BOX. AFTER I PULLED OVER AND EXAMINED CLOSER I COULD SEE THE ISSUE WAS FROM THE A/C MODULE RESISTER THAT WAS RECENTLY RECALLED. THE RESISTER HAD BURNED THROUGH PART OF THE HARNESS ATTACHMENT. UPON REACHING OUT TO GM, THEY STATED I ONLY HAD TWO COURSES OF ACTION: 1) TO REPLACE THE PART WITH ANOTHER FAULTY PART (WHICH I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR) AND HOPE THAT THE PART DOES NOT SHORT / CATCH FIRE BEFORE THEY ARE ABLE TO COME OUT WITH THE CORRECTED PART (WHICH WOULD BE FREE). 2) WAIT FOR A CORRECTED PART TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MAIN ISSUES WITH THE SECOND OPTION ARE THAT GM HAS NO TIMELINE FOR THE COMPLETION/AVAILABILITY OF THE CORRECTED AC MODULE RESISTOR (CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID ANYWHERE FROM 1 MONTH TO MULTIPLE YEARS). THIS WOULD LEAVE THE CUSTOMER (WITHOUT HEAT OR A/C) FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. MY CURRENT WORK COMMUTE TOTALS 2 HOURS EVERY DAY. WHERE I LIVE THIS BECOMES PROBLEMATIC DUE TO SEVERE SUMMER / WINTER CLIMATES (AS I WRITE TO YOU THERE ARE HEAT WARNINGS IN EFFECT). GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE 2009, YET THEY FAILED TO ACT. NOW THE CONSUMER IS FORCED TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ILL PLANNING AND NEGLECT WHILE GM CONTINUES TO ACT INEPT. PLEASE HELP GM REALIZE THAT GM CUSTOMER LIVES MATTER.

I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM HUMMER (GM) IN AUGUST 2015 FOR MY 2007 HUMMER H3. IT IS SAFETY RECALL 15042. THE LETTER INDICATED THAT IT WAS A SAFETY RECALL STATING THE CONNECTOR MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE BLOWER MOTOR SPEED IN THE HEAT/VENT/AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC) SYSTEM MAY OVERHEAT UNDER EXTENDED OPERATIONAL PERIODS AT HIGH AND MEDIUM-HIGH BLOWER SPEEDS. IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS THERE COULD BE A RISK OF FIRE. THE LETTER SAID PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE AND WHEN THEY WERE I WOULD BE CONTACTED TO ARRANGE A SERVICE APPOINT. AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS AND NO CALL, I CONTACTED THE NUMBER, 1-800-833-6537, AND ASKED WHAT THE HOLD-UP IS ON THE PARTS? I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE STILL UNAVAILABLE. AFTER SEVERAL MORE MONTHS, I CALLED AGAIN ONLY TO RECEIVE THE SAME EXCUSE WITH NO PROJECTED DATE OF ARRIVAL. TO ME THIS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY THIS RECALL INVOLVES A POTENTIAL RISK OF A FIRE. IT IS NOW MARCH 2016 AND I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT IT TAKES SO LONG TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENTS. I AM HESITANT TO USE THE BLOWER MOTOR BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FIRE RISK.

I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2010 CONCERNING THIS PART BUT I NEVER GOT NOTIFICATION. WHEN I LOOK UP BY MY VIN, IT STATES NO RECALLS. WHY NOT?

THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR CONNECTOR LOCATED UNDER THE GLOVE BOX WAS BURNT, THE RED PLASTIC ON THE HARNESS WAS MELTED. THE REASON I BECAME AWARE OF THIS IS BECAUSE THE BLOWER QUIT WORKING. I LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE AND FOUND IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. I FEEL ANYTIME YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I FEEL IT IS FAIR TO ASSUME THE NEW RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS WILL DO THE SAME THING SINCE IT IS THE EXACT SAME DESIGN. *TR

WENT TO CHEVY DEALER WHO RAN A QUICK CODE CHECK WHICH INDICATED THE NUMBER 5 CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING.

FIRST THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING. HAD TO REPLACE THR PCM. THEN MY BLOWER STARTED THROWING HOT AIR WHEN ON COLD. HAD TO INSTALL SEPARATE TO RESOLVE THAT ISSUE. HAD TO RE-BUILD THE TRANSMISSION TWICE DUE TO LEAK OF COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE SO FAR.

TAKE IT TO HAVE COMPRESSION TEST RUN AND SYSTEM SAYS CYLINDER FAILURE. DO RESEARCH ON ISSUE AND FIND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE HAVING CAUSED ACCIDENTS AND THOUSAND OF DOLLARS SPENT BY CONSUMERS AFTER HAVING ACCIDENTS BUT NO KNOWN FATALITY SO GM WILL NO RECALL OR HONOR THE ISSUE REPAIRS. ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAPPENING AT 100K MILES. *TR

THE CAR SHUT OFF AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATION. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. *TR

MY SON WAS DRIVING HIS 2007 HUMMER H3 WHEN IT CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE STARTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE DASH. HE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ON FIRE UNTIL HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO GO INTO A RESTAURANT. HE DIDN'T EVEN SMELL ANYTHING BURNING AND HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING AROUND 5 MINUTES. PEOPLE WERE POINTING AT HIS CAR TELLING HIM IT WAS ON FIRE. THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT TO HIM IN 3-4 MINUTES. THE HUMMER H3 WAS TOTALED OUT BECAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 64,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. *TR

I KEEP GETTING A CODE THAT STATES THAT MY TRUCK RUNS WITH A LOW ENGINE TEMPERATURE. PLUS MY TRUCK HAS HAD A LEAK FROM SOME WHERE AROUND THE LOWER WINDSHIELD THAT IS CAUSING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND SOAKING WET FLOORS! WE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK FOR THE LEAK AND TRY TO FIX THIS ISSUE BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND WE WERE ALSO TOLD BY A FEW DEALERSHIP THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A LOT OF H3 HUMMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM! ALSO WE ARE HAVING ISSUES THAT CAUSES THE TRACTION SIGNAL TO COME ON REGULARLY AND IT CAUSES MY TRUCK TO LOCK UP. IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED US TO WRECK SEVERAL TIMES! IT'S VERY SCARY TO DRIVE MY HUMMER! EVERY TIME WE HAVE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WE ARE ALWAYS IN MOTION AND IT'S ALWAYS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN WE ARE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. IT NEVER SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN!! THIS HAS BEEN CONTINUING GOING ON EVER SINCE WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2014

MY VEHICLE HAS A CRACKED RADIATOR AND ACCORDING TO OTHER HUMMER OWNERS THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT THAT HAPPENS TO THESE VEHICLES. HIS OVER HEATING CUASED ME TO PULL OVER ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WERE I COULD OF BEEN HIT AND KILLED, TOTAL FAILER OF VEHICLE ELECTRONICS, GMC DOES NOT WANT TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE THAT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE OF THE MANY PROBLEMS WTH THIS VEHICLE. THIS CRACK IS WERE IT IS WEARING NEAR THE MOTOR. *TR

WAS DRIVING IN A SMALL TOWN AND THE VEHICLE JUST LOST ALL POWER WITH NO WARNING. IT COST ME OVER 600.00 TO GET REPAIRED AND I'M THANKFUL I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 OR 70 AND I'M THANKFUL THERE WAS NO VEHICLES BEHIND ME. ALSO THE KEY WON'T COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AFTER I DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE AND THIS WEARS DOWN MY BATTERY AND I HAVE TO GET A JUMP. HAS THERE BEEN ANY RECALLS OR OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE KEY BECAME LODGED IN THE IGNITION CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOYED. MY SEAT BELT LOCKED UP ON ME AND CAUTION LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS GLAD THAT NO CAR WAS AROUND BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE WRECKED. THE INSIDE OFT HUMMER WAS FILLED UP WITH GUN POWDER. I CALLED GM AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. AFTER ABOUT 2 DAYS OF CALLING THEY CAME TO PICK UP MY TRUCK. THEY FIRST ASKED ME IF I COULD DRIVE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER 25 MILES AWAY LOL NO MY AIRBAGS ARE DOWN AND I COULD NOT PUT MY SEAT BELT ON. SO NOW I HAVE A RENTAL CAR TO DRIVE TILL THEY LET ME KNOW SOMETHING. I JUST SO GLAD THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN THE DAY BEFORE WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN 95 I COULD HAVE BEEN DIED IF IT WOULD HAVE GONE OFF THEN. I HOPE GM WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, NEW IN JULY 2007. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE. ON 7/28/14, PARKED AT HOME. GOT OUT AND SMELLED COOLANT VAPORIZING (DISTINCT SMELL). I AM A RETIRED MASTER MECHANIC, WITH 44 YEARS EXPERIENCE (CURRENTLY AGE 60). I EXAMINED THE RADIATOR, RINSED IT OFF AND DRIED IT, PRESSURIZED THE SYSTEM TO DISCOVER A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE UPPER, PLASTIC TANK OF THE RADIATOR IN AN AREA WITH NO IMPINGEMENT OF OTHER COMPONENTS, NO TRAUMA, AND NO ROUGH USE, EVER. I CAUGHT IT AT THE VERY FIRST MANIFESTATION, SOLELY BY THE SMELL. EXAMINING THE VEHICLE CLOSELY TO DISCOVER WHILE MY RADIATOR HAD ONLY THIS HAIRLINE CRACK IN A LOCATION OF NO-STRESS AND NO IMPINGEMENT OF OTHER COMPONENTS. RESEARCH FURTHER TO DISCOVER THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE H3, FROM 2006, 2007, 2008 AND 2009 MODELS ALL IN THE 50,000 TO 100,000 MILE READINGS. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR AT LOCAL GM DEALER, WITH COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE WAS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE AS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE RADIATOR REQUIRES THE RECEIVER DRYER OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM TO BE DISCONNECTED WHICH REQUIRES DISCHARGE AND RECHARGE OF REFRIGERANT R124A. I SAVED THE DEFECTIVE RADIATOR. THERE IS NO OTHER WEAR NOR DAMAGE. THE INTERNAL CORES WERE CLEAR AND CLEAN LIKE NEW. NO OBSTRUCTIONS, DIRT NOR WEAR. IN OTHER WORDS I WAS FORCED TO REPLACE A PERFECTLY GOOD RADIATOR FOR 1 HAIRLINE CRACK ON THE UPPER PLASTIC TANK. THIS REPAIR, INCLUDING ALL COURTESY DISCOUNTS FROM THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, AS I HAD BEEN AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP OWNER AND LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR 30 YEARS OF MY LIFE, COST ME $966.57. NHTSA SHOULD DO A FORMAL DEFECT INVESTIGATION ON ALL THE HUMMER H3 MODELS AND ANY / ALL OTHER GM LIKE-TYPE VEHICLES WITH THE PLASTIC TANK RADIATORS WHICH COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR DEATH. *TR

FAN BLOWER RESISTOR BURNT UP AND MELTED WIRING HARNESS ELECTRICAL SEAT BUTTON THAT CONTROLS POSITION AND HEAT TURNS ON DUE TO THE SIDE PLASTIC SEAT MOLDING THAT FLEXES WHEN YOU SIT IN THE SEAT. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 H3 HUMMER WITH 81000 MILES. THIS PAST SUMMER I GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND PUT ON MY AIR CONDITIONING ON HIGH. NOTHING CAME OUT OF THE VENTS. BLOWER MOTOR WOULDN'T EVEN MOVE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC AND IT ALL LEAD TO A BURNT OUT BLOWER MOTOR RESISTER. I HAD PURCHASED A NEW ONE AND REPLACED IT TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE IN THE PLUG FROM IT GETTING TO HOT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE H3. I TALKED TO GM SAFETY AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING AND BOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO AGE AND MILES. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS NOT TO BE A RECALL ISSUE. NO BLOWER MOTOR MEANS NO DEFROST ON YOUR WINDSHIELD. DUE TO COLD WINTERS IN NEW YORK YOU NEED THE DEFROST. NOW MY TRUCKS BLOWER MOTOR WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO DUE TO FAULTY WIRE HARNESS IN TRUCK. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE PLUG AND OLD RESISTER. THANK YOU *TR
