2006 Hummer H3

CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF LEAFSPRING/REAR SUSPENSION. TURNING OUT ONTO ROAD AND HEARD A LOUD SNAP, STEERING WENT CRAZY, ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF CAR. SAW SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WEB. SOME ENDING IN THE TRUCK FLIPPING END OVER END. SEE COMMON THREAD...BAD WELD IN LEAF SPRING AND IT SNAPS RANDOMLY OVER TIME AT WELD. NOTICED SOMEONE ON FORUMS ALSO COMPLAINED WITH THIS NHTSA TRACKING NUMBER (10838131). PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ACTIVATED BUT FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V421000 (VISIBILITY); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,203. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

2006 HUMMER H3 SUN ROOF LEAKS AND WATER SEEPING INTO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. HAD SAME ISSUE 1 YEAR AGO AND HAD FIXED. SAME PROBLEM JUST UNDER 1 YEAR LATER. NEVER USE SUN ROOF IS NEVER OPENED OR CRACKED BUT BEING TOLD ISSUE STEMS FROM DEBRIS BUILD UP WHICH SHOULD NOT OCCUR AS THE ROOF IS NEVER OPENED. LOOKING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ISSUE HAPPENS DURING RAIN WHETHER VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR MOVING.

WHILE DRIVING, WATER POURS IN FROM THE SUNROOF WHILE RAINING, TO THE POINT MY HEAD, SHIRT AND PANTS ARE COMPLETELY DRENCHED. WHILE DRIVING THE WATER IS COMING DOWN ATOP MY HEAD COMING DOWN MY FACE CREATING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. WATER ALSO DRAINS DOWN ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD DUE TO THE SUNROOF SOMEHOW BECOMING BLOCKED WITH DEBRIS. DEFINITELY A MAJOR PROBLEM!! MY CARPETS ARE MOLDY AS A RESULT. MY CAR SMELLS DUE TO THIS OCCURRING AFTER IT RAINS! PLEASE REPAIR THIS DEFECT.

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

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.
