Consumer Description

MY 2009 HUMMER H3 ON OCCASION WILL NOT START. IT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME, ANY WHERE, UNDER ANY WEATHER CONDITIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR RADIO, INTERIOR LIGHTS, ETC. ARE HOWEVER STILL WORKING. I THEN HAVE TO WAIT APPROX. 10 TO 15 MINUTES, AND THE VEHICLE STARTS UP LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED.. FROM DOING SOME ON-LINE RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT MANY, MANY, HUMMER H3 OWNERS FROM YEARS 2002 TO 2009 HAVE THIS SAME DISTURBING ISSUE. I HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM DAY ONE WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER NOW IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT.. THIS OCCURRED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK. SOME ATTRIBUTE THIS TO A FAULTY SECURITY PASS LOCK SYSTEM. I FEEL THIS IS WIDESPREAD DANGEROUS ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL ON ALL HUMMER H3'S THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
