2007 Hummer H3 Electrical System Problems

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2007 Hummer H3. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was an independent dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 122,791 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 122,799 but additional documents also showed that the mileage was unchanged over a 3-year period.

IGNITION SWITCH STAYS ON WITH KEY OFF AND OUT AND ALARM GOES OFF SOMETIMES JUST SITTING AND BATTERY GOES DEAD

OIL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IDLE. TRUCK LOSES PRESSURE. NO DEALERSHIP SOLUTION.

ON 3/13/2020 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2007 HUMMER H3 WHEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND DASH AREA CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR MODULE HAD BEEN REPLACED RECENTLY AS PART OF A SAFETY RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND SHE HAD JUST MADE A LEFT TURN. ALTHOUGH THE PART HAD BEEN REPLACED, I STILL BELIEVE THAT THIS RECALL ISSUE WAS THE CAUSE OF SAID FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED IT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL. THIS WAS TRAUMATIC FOR MY WIFE SHE HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD A MISCARRIAGE.

HELLO,MY NAME IS [XXX],AND WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS MANY SEEM TO BE HAVING AS WE JUST SEEN ON GOOGLE AND MORE,GOT IN THE HUMMER THIS MORNING STARTED UP FINE,STOPPED AT GAS STATION FOR A DRINK ON WAY TO WORK,WENT BACK TO CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START,AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT FINALLY DID,MAKING ME LATE FOR WORK. HAVE HAD THE 2007 HUMMER H3 FOR MAYBE 4 DAYS!!! AND ALREADY HAVING ISSUES? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING 45-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,565.

PASSLOCK ISSUES NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO START. WAIT 10MIN WITH MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS.

SIR/MA'AM, I AM WRITING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE 2007 HUMMER H3 SECURITY SYSTEM NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO START UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE TO HIGH STANDARDS AND OVER THE LAST 8 MONTHS HAVE HAD ISSUES STARTING MY HUMMER. WHEN THE HUMMER DOES NOT START, YOU MUST WAIT 10-15 MINUTES TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OVER, BUT NO FUEL IS SENT TO THE ENGINE TO START. IF IT DOESN'T START AGAIN, YOU MUST WAIT ANOTHER 10-15 MINUTES. THE LATTER HAS HAPPENED TO ME 5 OR 6 TIMES IN JUST THE LAST 2 MONTHS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO GM ABOUT THIS EXACT ISSUE, AND HAS FALLEN ON DEAF EARS. MANY VEHICLE FORUM USERS COMPLAIN OF THE EXACT ISSUE AS WELL, WITH ZERO ASSISTANCE FROM GM AS SEEN HERE: HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-C8039_DS531571 I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE SPORADIC SECURITY LOCKDOWN (PASSLOCK) OCCURS WHILE DRIVING, FUEL IS CUT OFF FROM THE RUNNING ENGINE, SPEED/STEERING/BRAKING WILL BE MINIMIZED, AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH IS INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY. PLEASE ADVISE GM THERE NEEDS TO BE A FIX FOR THIS AND ENSURE THEY COMPLY! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I BELIEVE MY PHOTOS OF THE BLOWER MOTOR FAN RESISTOR BEING BURNT HELPED GET GM ISSUE A RECALL, AND I HOPE THIS WILL URGE THEM TO FIX AS WELL

VEHICLE WON'T START. THE PASSLOCK PREVENTS THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING. THE CAR ALARM WILL START WHILE I'M OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THEN THE VEHICLE WON'T START. I REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THE PASSLOCK STILL MAKES THE ALARM GO OFF WHILE ITS LOCKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY I HAVE TO WAIT 10 MIN.BEFORE THE TRUCK WILL START THIS IS CRAZY AND NO ONE WANTS TO FIX THE ISSUE.I HAVE HAD IT TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THEY SAY ITS ALL THE HUMMER H3S THAT THIS PROBLEM IS IN THE COMPUTER AND WILL COST ME OVER $800 TO FIX THATS CRAZY THIS SHOULD BE PUT FOR RECALL NOT GOOD BUSINESS I HAVE CHILDREN THAT IF THERES AN EMERGANCY MY HUMMER WONT START. REALLY GM GET IT TOGETHER THIS HAPPENES ALL THE TIME AND HALF THE TIME I HAVE TO WAIT 20 TO 30 MIN FOR IT TO START

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FERRIS CHEVROLET WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 112,171.

AS I WAS REACHING A LIGHT TO SLOW DOWN BEHIND A VEHICLE, MY CAR UP IN DIES ON ME OUT OF NOWHERE. I WAS UNSURE AS TO WHAT HAPPENED SEEING AS I JUST INTENDED TO SLOW DOWN FOR MY HUMMER TO JUST COMPLETELY DIE ON ME. I HAD IT IN DRIVE BUT IT DIED HOW IT WAS (MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL SITTING AT 40 MPH). I HAD NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE SO I WAS CONFUSED IN SCARED BECAUSE WHEN MY VEHICLE STOPPED, NOTHING WOULD TURN ON NOT EVEN MY HAZARD LIGHTS. I WAS UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER DRIVERS TO LET THEM KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AS I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH THE KEY NOT EVEN CLICKING TO THE IGNITION. I CALLED THE POLICE TO BRING A DETOUR AND A TOW TUCK.

THE BATTERY CONTINUES TO BE DEAD: SOMETIMES STARTS, SOMETIMES DOESN'T. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY TWICE AND PROBLEM REMAINS. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM? I LOVE MY HUMMER, BUT I AM AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE IN IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET STRANDED WHEN IT IS BELOW FREEZING OUTSIDE. CURRENTLY I HAVE TO CARRY A SPARE BATTERY AND JUMPER CABLES IN MY BACKSEAT JUST TO GET IT STARTED WHEN THIS PROBLEM ACTS UP. ALSO AFFECTING MY ABILITY TO WORK AND TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY. STRONGLY SUGGEST A CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

I PURCHASED THIS 2007 HUMMER H3 ON JUNE 2016 WITH 77,000 MILES ON IT. ON 11/13/2016 WITH 80,300+ MILES , I EXPERIENCED THE FIRST NO START CONDITION DUE TO "PASSLOCK THEFT-DETERRENT SYSTEM" INDICATOR BLINKING WHEN I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE. I LOOKED UP THE OWNERS MANUAL ON PAGE 100 AND IT INDICATED TO WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE VEHICLE STARTED AFTER WAITING FOR 10 MINUTES. THE SECOND NO START CONDITION WITH "PASSLOCK THEFT-DETERRENT SYSTEM" INDICATOR BLINKING AGAIN WAS ON 12/05/2016 WITH 80,900+ MILES AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS FREEZING POINT AT THAT TIME AND I HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES INSIDE THE COLD VEHICLE BEFORE I CAN START IT AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H3. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE STARTER FAILED TO START THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT UP TO TEN MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,642.

SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE PARKED, THE PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM WILL RANDOMLY DISABLES THE ENGINE FROM STARTING. AFTER WAITING 10 MINUTES THE SYSTEM WILL ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO START. THIS MAKES STARTING THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY VERY UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE SECURITY LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

REPEAT NO START DUE TO FAULTY SECURITY SYSTEM. HAD TO GO TO EMERGENCY ROOM AND COULD NOT GO DUE TO FAULTY SECURITY OR "PASS LOCK" ISSUE AND THIS IS APPARENTLY KNOWN. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE THEFT LOCK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND UNKNOWN FUSES RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

IGNITION SWITCH ON THIS VEHICLE IS FAILING SAME AS ON OTHER GM VEHICLES WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED. SWITCH SETTING CHANGES INTO OFF POSITION SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE WHEN A MODERATE BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD IS ENCOUNTERED, SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND LOCKING STEERING WHEEL. GM REFUSES TO HONOR RECALL FOR IGNITION SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED UNDER ACTIVE RECALL/LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT. 5 OCCURRENCES OF THIS SHUT DOWN TO-DATE. GM COMPLAINT NUMBER 8-2272247746 WAS RESOLVED IN THEIR OPINION BY STATING TO ME THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE CURRENT GM IGNITION RECALL. THE STATED THAT THEY SHARE MY SAFETY CONCERN AND BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT MY EXPENSE. THEY SUGGESTED CONTACTING SAFE CARS.GOV TO ATTEMPT ADDING THIS VEHICLE TO ACTIVE RECALL. PLEASE HELP.
