2006 HUMMER H3 Electrical System Problems

On the electrical, I refer to my air conditioning and heater. When I have my air selection to coldest and I drop 1 click for it to be less cool, my heater turns on and at times it smells like something burning. I have to turn it off . On the engine, after I hit 90,000 miles, I have to fill up my engine oil every 2-3 weeks because my vehicle is burning it quick or something. It doesn't leak oil at all. The oil just seems like it's burning somewhere and I ha e to be waisting money to buy oil $30 to $60 a month. Please help. Thank you!

THE IGNITION SWITCH IS STAKED AND IS NOT ABLE TO TURNING ON

THE H3 WILL NOT START. DASH SCREEN KEEPS SHOWING THE PASSLOCK ACTIVATED AND WON'T TURN OFF. COMPUTER THINKS THE H3 IS BEING STOLEN. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET AND NO LUCK. I HAD THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO AND CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK AND NOW ON 28 MARCH 2020. ENGINE IS TURNING OVER AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS LIGHT UP, BUT SOUNDS LIKE FUEL IS NOT GETTING INTO THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, FINDING OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE IS TO WAIT 10 MIN, STILL NO LUCK. WAITING 15 MIN SEEMED TO WORK BEFORE, BUT NOW IT DOESN'T. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SAFELY IN THE VEHICLE, DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND THEN IT STALLS AGAIN? I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVEN'T HAD THIS ISSUE UNTIL IT STARTED 4 WEEKS AGO. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING ON...

I GO TO STOP TRACTION CONTROL STABILIZER GOES OUT, I ALSO HAVE BEEN HAVING TO BUY NEW BATTERIES AND CARRY A JUMP BOX THE CAR IGNITION DOESN'T GO OFF ALL THE WAY. YOU WILL COME BACK TO THE CAR WITH THE RADIO PLAYING, DRIVERS WINDOW STOPPED WORKING, ETC

THE PADLOCK SYSTEM THAT THE CAR HAS IT PREVENTS THE CAR TO START AND LEAVES YOU STOPPED FOR 10 MINUTES. IT'S BEEN DOING IT LATELY MORE IN THE MORNING OR WHEN THE CAR HASN'T BEEN MOVED IN AWHILE. THE SECURITY ICON IN THE DASHBOARD BLINKS WHEN THE PASSLOCK SECURITY ENABLES AND THAT LEAVES THE CAR WITHOUT STARTING.

MY H3 HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH RANDOM WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING. OFTEN MULTIPLE LIGHTS LIKE ENGINE, CHECK TRANSMISSION AND TRACTION. EACH TIME I WOULD TAKE IT TO MECHANIC AND WOULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM ANYTHING IN ENGINE. THEN THE 4 WHEEL LIGHT DRIVE WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM IS MUCH WORST... WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL CAME ON BY ITSELF. I GOT IN IT TO DRIVE IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND WHILE DRIVING IT ACTIVATED THE BRAKE AND MANY WARNING LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AS WELL. VERY DISTURBING. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2006 NOW IT HAS 125000 MILES. I HAVE KEPT A COMPLETE HISTORY OF MAINTENANCE THAT INCLUDES OIL CHANGED EVERY TIME BETWEEN 3500-5000 MILES

ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS, EITHER THE VEHICLE WIL NO START DUE TO THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM OR I WILL LOSE ALL POWER WHEN DRIVING.

MY 2006 H3 HAS SPORADIC ISSUES WITH STARTING FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT WILL CRANK FINE BUT WILL NOT START. IF I WAIT APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES & TRY AGAIN, IT STARTS WITH NO PROBLEMS. DURING THIS ISSUE, EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS IN THE VEHICLE (RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC..). I'VE HAD IT CHECKED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS & REPLACED LOTS OF PARTS BUT DIDN'T HELP THIS ISSUE AT ALL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS REFERENCE THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE ONLINE & THROUGH NHTSA BUT NOBODY HAS HAD ANY POSITIVE RESPONSES. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM AS A RECALL. I WILL BE PART OF THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THROUGH THESE THREADS RELATED TO THIS HUMMER H3 ISSUE. THANK YOU & WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE GM ISSUE.

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 10 YEARS. ITS ALWAYS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. ESPECIALLY THE ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE. I'VE GOTTEN 3 NOTICES IN THE MAIL FOR RECALLS AND GM HAS IGNORED MY REQUEST. AT THIS TIME I AM HOLDING THEM RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE MY HUMMER H3 IS ALWAYS IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP AND DONT FEEL LIKE IVE GOTTEN THE VALUE I DESERVE ON MY PURCHASE. PLEASE GIVE ME CALL AT [XXX]. IMY NAME IS [XXX]. EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NO MORE HUMMER DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE SPECIALIZES IN THE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE TAKEN COMPLETE CARE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF MY INVESTMENT AND HOPE TO GET SOME TYPE OF LEEWAY IN THIS MATTER. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

MY 2006 H3 (50K MILES) HAS STARTING ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN GETTING MORE FREQUENT SINCE LAST YEAR. WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT WILL CRANK FINE BUT WILL NOT START. IF I WAIT APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES & TRY AGAIN, IT STARTS WITH NO PROBLEMS. DURING THIS ISSUE, EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS IN THE VEHICLE (RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC..). I'VE HAD IT CHECKED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS & REPLACED LOTS OF PARTS BUT DIDN'T HELP THIS ISSUE AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL. CAR WILL NOT START, AFTER ABOUT 10MIN IT WILL START UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE (UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX) CAUGHT ON FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE PERSON FROM THE PARKING LOT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, BUT THE FIRE WAS ALREADY EXTINGUISHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (LAKESIDE CHEVROLET BUICK, 10215 W MAIN RD, NORTH EAST, PA 16428; (814) 746-4300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD, WINDSHIELD, WIRE HARNESS, AND CARPETS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V421000 AND 10V179000 (VISIBILITY, STRUCTURE). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OVER, BATTERY IS FINE, BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT START, DUE TO THE ON-BOARD SECURITY SYSTEM THINKING THAT THE VEHICLE IS BEING STOLEN. THIS FREQUENT PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE NHTSB NUMEROUS TIMES AND TO GM WITH NO RESULTS. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT IF YOU GOOGLE: 2006 HUMMER3 STARTING PROBLEMS, YOU WILL SEE A LONG LIST OF EXACTLY THE SAME COMPLAINTS. THIS SITUATION SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL AND REPAIR AT GM'S EXPENSE. THE CURRENT REMEDY IS TO SIT AND WAIT 10 MINUTES UNTIL THE SECURITY SYSTEM RESETS AND THEN THE VEHICLE CAN BE STARTED. THIS CONDITION OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND IS NOT COVERED AT ALL IN THE OWNERS MANUAL.

TRUCK WILL NOT START FOR NO APPARENT REASON. KEY TURNS, SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL START BUT DOES NOT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OTHER HUMMER OWNERS TOO. I JUST HAD IT TOWED ONCE AGAIN TO THE MECHANICS SHOP. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME WITHIN ONE YEAR. UNABLE TO LEAVE MY HOUSE DURING AN EMERGENCY, CHILD RELATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED TO 30 MPH. THE STABILITY TRACKING SYSTEM, CHECK ENGINE, AND A THIRD INDICATOR ALL ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V421000 (VISIBILITY). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I HAVE A 2006 HUMMER H3 AND I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY IGNITION SWITCH CUTTING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD . THERE ARE TIMES THAT MY CAR WILL NOT START DO TO THIS. I'VE HAD IT TESTED AND IT'S THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT I'M TAKING ABOUT. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING RECALLED!!!!! SOMEONE'S LIFE CAN BE TAKEN AWAY FOR SOMETHING THAT KEEPS HAPPENING TO THESE HUMMER H3!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A FIRE STARTED UNDER THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE WIRING HARNESS MELTED.

THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V421000 (VISIBILITY). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND FUNCTIONS TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH, IS VERY UNSAFE AT NIGHT. IT ALSO PREVENTS STARTING THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY UNTIL YOU WAIT 10 MINUTES, AFTER IT RESETS.

2006 HUMMER H3 SECURITY LOCKOUT ENGAGES RANDOMLY. HAVE REPEATED OCCURRENCES OF ENGINE NOT ENGAGING UPON ENTRANCE TO VEHICLE. HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE IGNITION WILL WORK AGAIN. PROBLEM OCCURS APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES A WEEK. RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2006 H3.

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY NOT PERMIT YOU TO START THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE ON SEVERAL FORUMS, I SEE THAT THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH HUMMER MODELS, NOT JUST THE H3. IT SEEMS THAT THE IGNITION IS BELIEVING YOU ARE A BURGLAR, AND IT LOCKS YOU OUT FOR 10 MINUTES. AFTER THE 10 MINUTES HAVE PASSED, YOU CAN START THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEM. THE ONLY WAY TO GET AROUND THIS (PER GM) IS TO REPLACE THE IGNITION, BUT SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL INSTEAD OF CONSUMERS HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS FLAW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE.

ONSTAR EMERGENCY REQUEST BUTTON, AND ALL OTHER ONSTAR BUTTONS DO NOT TRANSMIT OR RECEIVE. A VERIZON MESSAGE ANNOUNCES "NO PHONE SERVICE AVAILABLE." HAPPEN AT ALL TIMES, IN ALL CONDITIONS. VERIZON, GM AND ONSTAR EACH DENY ITS THEIR PROBLEM.

SOMETIMES WHEN I GO TO START MY CAR IT WILL NOT START. THEN I WAIT EXACTLY 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS NOW. IT HAPPENS ABOUT SIX TIMES A MONTH

TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING OR NOT START. WHEN DRIVING TRUCK AND IT BEGINS TO SHUT OFF, MENU WILL SAY, "REDUCED POWER." THEN IT WILL SAY, "STABILITY SYSTEM IMMOBILIZED." THE TRUCK WILL NOT START UP. THE SECURITY ICON ON THE DASH WILL BE LIT UP. AFTER SITTING AND WAITING FOR 10 MINS OR SO, THE TRUCK WILL START AND IS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON MAIN STREETS, HIGHWAYS, BACK ROADS.. ETC.

QUESTION: RECALL FOR HVAC CONNECTOR WIRE FAILURE ISSUED JUN.25TH,2015. NOTIFIED BY GM OF RECALL IN AUGUST, 2015. AS OF THIS DATE, GM'S STANCE IS "INCOMPLETE- REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE".

I HAVE REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS MORE THAN 3 TIMES. GM HAS KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE SINCE 2009 AND HAS NOT CORRECTED IT. THEY HAVE NO WAY OF KEEPING MY H3 FROM RANDOMLY CATCHING FIRE AND REFUSE TO EXPLORE ANY OPTION OTHER THAN REPLACING WITH SAME DEFECTIVE PART THAT HAS ALREADY FAILED. THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO MY PROPERTY OR LIFE DO TO THIS. TO DATE 43 H3 HAVE BEEN TOTAL LOSS FIRES CAUSED BY THIS ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OWNERS LEFT WITH NO HVAC SYSTEM. MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE IS NOW FORCED TO DRIVE MY 5 YEAR OLD SON TO SCHOOL IN 10 DEGREE WEATHER WITH NO HEAT IN FEAR THAT THE WIRING WILL CATCH FIRE NEXT TIME THE RESISTOR FAILS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM A COMPANY BOASTING 8.3 BILLION DOLLAR SALE PROFITS. THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR HAS BURNED...

BLOWER MOTOR RECALL ISSUE. BURNING ELECTRICAL ODOR COMING FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT. COINCIDES WITH THE BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR RECALL. THIS CANNOT BE RESOLVED SOON ENOUGH.

PASS LOCK SYSTEM PROHIBITS TRUCK FROM STARTING. HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES WHEN IT DECIDES TO WORK. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THIS TRUCK COST THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY.

GM HAS A SECURITY SYSTEM CALLED PASSLOCK THAT OVER TIME SEEMS TO FAIL AND TRIPS A "FAILURE" AND FLASHES A KEY SYMBOL ON THE DASH AND DISABLES STARTING YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL IT RESETS 10 MINUTES LATER. THIS OCCURS TO MY WIFE ALMSOT 50% OF THE TIME SHE TRIES TO START HER VEHICLE. SO FAR GM HAS COME FORWARD WITH A FIX YET I'VE SEEN POSTS ON HUMMER FORUMNS FROM HUNDREDS OF OWNERS. THIS HAS MANY SAFETY CONCERNS AS WELL AS JUST BEING A GENERAL ANNOYANCE: 1) IN LAS VEGAS WE ROUTINELY SEE TEMPATURES OVER 110F. IF THE SYSTEM TRIPS AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES IN THAT HEAT IT CAN BE DEADLY 2) MISSING APPONTMENTS OR BEING LATE TO WORK BECAUSE YOU VEHICLE INTENTIONALLY IS DISABLING ITSELF IT UNACCEPTABLE 3) GROCERIES COLD/FROZEN STUCK IN THE HEAT FOR 10 MINUTES WAITING FOR A RESET GET RUINED 4) MY WIFE WHEN...

SINCE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED NEW, WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE OFF POSITION IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE KEY WILL 'TURN ITSELF ON' WITH ONLY THE SLIGHTEST 'BUMP' OF THE KEY OR THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL SAME VEHICLE OWNERS. WHAT WITH ALL THE ISSUES WITH OTHER VEHICLE IGNITION MATTERS THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTED AND CORRECTED YEARS BEFORE NOW. I STILL OWN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, NOTICED A GLOW FROM THE CORNER OF MY EYE, AND SOMETHING DRIP FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER GLOVEBOX. THERE WAS A FUNNY SMELL. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED, AND TOLD MY PASSENGER TO GET OUT, AND NOTICED A FIRE UNDER THE PASSENGER GLOVEBOX. I TRIED POURING MILK AND JUICE ON THE FIRE TO PUT IT OUT UNDER THE DASH BUT IT DIDN'T PUT THE FIRE COMPLETELY OUT. BYSTANDERS HELPED WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHERS BUT IT DIDN'T HELP MUCH EITHER, THE FIRE MOVED THROUGH THE FIREWALL AND WAS UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAR QUICKLY WENT UP IN FLAMES AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. ONCE THE FIRE STARTED, THE DOORS DIDN'T AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE BACK DOORS OPEN SINCE THERE IS NO KEY ENTRY AND IT'S ALL ELECTRONIC. IF I HAD CHILDREN OR...
