Consumer Description
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.....
