2007 Hummer H3

I WAS DRIVING HOME I WAS GOING ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOYED. MY SEAT BELT LOCKED UP ON ME AND CAUTION LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS GLAD THAT NO CAR WAS AROUND BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE WRECKED. THE INSIDE OFT HUMMER WAS FILLED UP WITH GUN POWDER. I CALLED GM AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. AFTER ABOUT 2 DAYS OF CALLING THEY CAME TO PICK UP MY TRUCK. THEY FIRST ASKED ME IF I COULD DRIVE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER 25 MILES AWAY LOL NO MY AIRBAGS ARE DOWN AND I COULD NOT PUT MY SEAT BELT ON. SO NOW I HAVE A RENTAL CAR TO DRIVE TILL THEY LET ME KNOW SOMETHING. I JUST SO GLAD THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN THE DAY BEFORE WHEN I WAS DRIVING DOWN 95 I COULD HAVE BEEN DIED IF IT WOULD HAVE GONE OFF THEN. I HOPE GM WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. *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 WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT PROVOCATION. THE DRIVER SUFFERED BRUISING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED IT WOULD TAKE BETWEEN TWENTY AND THIRTY DAYS TO EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS BELIEVED TO BE DUE TO FAULTY SIDE AIR BAG SENSORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THEY WOULD SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO THE DEALER WITHIN THE NEXT TWENTY TO THIRTY DAYS TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THEY WERE UNSURE WHETHER THE FAILURE WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

I WAS DRIVING OFF-ROAD IN MY 2007 HUMMER H3 WITH A GROUP OF HUMMER OWNERS. DRIVING ON A FLAT DIRT ROAD, APPROACHING THE PAVED ROAD, THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. H3 WAS GOING APROX. 35 MPH. I HAD MY SON WITH ME IN THE FRONT SEAT AND HE WAS HURT BY THE AIRBAG. I'VE SEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING WITH H3'S AND THE ISSUE SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GM. EITHER THE SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE OR IS SET TOO SENSITIVE FOR OFF-ROAD DRIVING. I'M THANKFUL IT DIDN'T HAPPEN ON A BUSY FREEWAY OR ON A BUSY STREET. MY H3 HAS BEEN IN AT THE GM DEALER FOR 7 DAYS AND THEY ARE WANTING MY INSURANCE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THAT MEANS DEDUCTIBLES AND RENTAL CAR FEES FOR ME TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY GM. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT 3/22/2009, 2007 HUMMER H3, THE OTHER DRIVER LOST CONTROL AND HIS EXPLORER TRAVELED HORIZONTALLY ON FREEWAY 5, IN LOS ANGELES. I T BONED HIM I WAS TRAVELING 65 MPH AT TIME OF IMPACT. THE HUMMER WAS TOTALED THE FRONT END DAMAGED FATALLY. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I SUFFERED AND STILL SUFFER FROM A BACK INJURY I HAVE HAD 5 PROCEDURES TO MY BACK FOR PAIN AND NUMBNESS. I WAS THE DRIVER. MY HUSBAND WAS A PASSENGER AND HE REQUIRED KNEE SURGERY DUE TO AN INJURY CAUSED BY HITTING THE DASH. HE AND I BOTH STILL HAVE DAILY PAIN AND MY ABILITY TO PERFORM MY JOB HAS BEEN COMPROMISED. I CANNOT TAKE NARCOTIC PAIN MEDICATIONS SECONDARY TO MY JOB, SO I SUFFER DAILY. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE BOTH VEHICLES INVOLVED. I THINK IF THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED I AND MY HUSBAND MAY NOT HAVE HAD SUCH DAMAGING AND LONG TERM INJURIES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT THE 2006 HUMMER AIR BAGS ( CLOTH SEATS) HAD ISSUES. MY VEHICLE HAD CLOTH SEATS.THIS MAY NOT BE THE APPROPRIATE FORUM BUT I HAD A PAID SERVICE ONSTAR. THE ONSTAR SERVICE FAILED TO RESPOND AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I CALLED THEM ON MY CELL PHONE AND THEY STATED THEY WOULD CALL THE CHP. EVENTUALLY THE ONSTAR CALLED ME ON MY VEHICLE BUT THE TOW TRUCK AND CHP HAD ALREADY ARRIVED. . MY HUSBAND CALLED 911 IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT OF 45 MPH, WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER TURNED FROM A CROSS STREET INTO HER, CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION. FULL FRONTAL DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES OCCURRED, AND THE AIRBAG IN OUR VEHICLE DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIRBAG IN THE OTHER VEHICLE DID DEPLOY. ONSTAR WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ACCIDENT AS WELL AS LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. THE OTHER DRIVER WAS DESIGNATED AS THE AT- FAULT DRIVER IN THE ACCIDENT. I DID CONTACT GM AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY, AND THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT CLAIMS THAT IF THE "CRUMPLE ZONES" DID THEIR JOBS THEN THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY, EVEN IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. OUR VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE TOW LOT, AND THE AIRBAG IS STILL INTACT. *TR
