2007 HUMMER H3 Electrical System Problems

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

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

MY CAR BEGAN SHOW THE PASSLOCK DISABLING SYSTEM LIGHT AND THEN FAILING TO START. AFTER STARTING, IT WOULD THEN SHOW THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS FOR A PERIOD THAT MIGHT BE SEVERAL MINUTES TO SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE GOING OUT AGAIN. THIS CYCLE HAPPENED AT RANDOM TIMES DISABLING THE AUTO WITHOUT WARNING AND IN SOME DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. IT IS A WELL KNOWN AND PUBLICIZED PROBLEM THAT GM HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE. I HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM BY HAVING PASSLOCK DISABLED AND IGNORING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WITH THE ASSUMPTION IT IS A FALSE WARNING. THESE RECENT EVENTS HAVE ME RECONSIDERING THAT ACTION, BUT THE COST OF HAVING THE PROBLEM RECTIFIED WOULD BE MORE THAN I COULD AFFORD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, SHE BEGAN TO SMELL PLASTIC BURNING UNDER THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE STOPPED THE VEHICLE, SHE NOTICED THAT THE RESISTOR FOR THE MOTOR BLOWER HAD CAUGHT ON FIRE AND MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

HERE ARE MULTIPLE ISSUES WELL DOCUMENTED ACROSS THE INTERNET OF HUMMERS HAVING AND ISSUE WITH THESE RESISTORS, AS WELL AS CHEVY COLORADOS. MY BLOWER QUIT A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND THE RESISTORS AND WIRING HARNESS ARE MELTED TO THE POINT OF CHARRING! THE NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS OR ARE YOU WAITING FOR AN ACTUAL FIRE TO CAUSE GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE? *TR

THE ANTI-THEFT PASSLOCK SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND WILL NOT LET ME START MY CAR. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR. GOING ON-LINE TO SEE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT MADE ME AWARE OF THE OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF GM CAR OWNERS THAT THIS HAS AFFECTED. SOME BEING STRANDED FOR HOURS AND DAYS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO START THEIR CARS DUE TO THE FAULTY PASSLOCK SYSTEM. IT IS HAPPENING TO ALL MAKES AND MODELS OF GM CARS. I CALLED GM AND THEY WEREN'T INTERESTED IN DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNLESS YOU FORCE THEM TO. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS AND HELP THOSE OF US WHO GET STRANDED IN PLACES (SOMETIMES SCARY PLACES) BECAUSE OUR CAR WON'T START. THANK YOU. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 20 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND THE HEATER FAN QUIT. HAD CUT OUT A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE AND COME BACK ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION FAILED TO RECOGNIZED THE KEY, CAUSING THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM TO ACTIVATE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONER ON. IT WORKED BUT SUDDENLY STOPPED BLOWING AIR. I TOOK IT IN AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR HAD GONE OUT. I HAD IT REPLACED ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN ONE WEEK LATER BUT THIS TIME I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. THE WIRING HAD BURNED GOING TO THE RESISTOR. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THIS HAPPENS OFTEN WITH THESE VEHICLES AND HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE HUMMER H3. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL SO THAT NO ONE GETS HURT. IF I HAD A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT, THEY WOULD HAVE RECEIVED BURNS ON THEIR FEET FROM THE WIRING MALFUNCTION AND...

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2007 GENERAL MOTORS HUMMER H3. THE AUTO HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED BY A GM DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAS 53,600 MILES AND IS IN PERFECT MECHANICAL CONDITION EXCEPT THIS RECENT ISSUE WITH PASSLOCK SECURITY WHICH HAS RENDERED THE VEHICLE UNRELIABLE AND A PERSONAL AND PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 30 DAYS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. IN RECENT WEEKS, THE PASSLOCK SECURITY LIGHT BEGAN RANDOMLY ILLUMINATING WHILE DRIVING. THIS LIGHT COULD EXTINGUISH ON NEXT START OR STAY ILLUMINATED THROUGH SEVERAL STARTS. TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE RETURNING FROM A TRIP LATER AT NIGHT, THE VEHICLE WAS DISABLED AND FAILED TO START IN AN AIRPORT PARKING LOT. THE PASSLOCK LIGHT CONTINUALLY FLASHED AND THE ENGINE CRANKED, BUT WITHOUT STARTING. A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED, BUT BY THE TIME IT ARRIVED, AN ATTEMPT TO START THE...

MY VEHICLE HAS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH A FAULTY RESISTOR/WIRING HARNESS ON THE BLOWER MOTOR. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER GM TRUCKS & VEHICLES AND THE PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN/REPORTED ON THE INTERNET. FOR SOME REASON GM REFUSES TO ISSUE/FIX THIS RECALL FOR THE HUMMER H3? THE PROBLEM CAUSES THE WIRING TO GET SO HOT TO MELT THE INSULATION, WHICH COULD CAUSE A FIRE. I PARK MY VEHICLE IN AN ATTACHED GARAGE. *TT

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT BETWEEN 25MPH AND 0. I WORK FOR THE US CENSUS BUREAU, PERMANENT WORKER AND I TRAVEL THROUGH ALL TYPES OF WEATHER CONDITIONS IN A DAY, FROM 9,000 FT MOUNTAINS COVERED IN SNOW TO DESERT GRAVEL ROADS, MESAS, CLIFFS. OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVERSING MOUNTAIN ROADS COVERED IN SNOW WITH NO GUARD RAILS, AND THREE TIMES, WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, I LOST STEERING AND CAME WITHIN INCHES OF GOING OFF THE SIDE (CLIFFS) OF THESE ROADS, NOT TO MENTION IN TOWN, WHEN MY ENGINE SHUTS OFF AS I DRIVE, I HAVE COME CLOSE TO HITTING OTHER VEHICLES OR POLES AS I LOSE POWER STEERING ON A TURN.. I HAVE TO DRIVE ABOUT 90 MILES ONE WAY TO GET IT SERVICED, WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, I HAD IT "REPAIRED" ABOUT FIVE TIMES, NO SUCCESS,...
