2007 Hummer H3

HAD PURCHASED VEHICLE 3 DAYS PRIOR FROM INDIVIDUAL. DROVE TO EL PASO TX1 APPROXIMATELY 80 MILES DROVE AROUND TOWN DOING ERRANDS. TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING BADLY, I PULLED INTO A WAL-MART AND WENT TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. VEHICLE HAD A COMPRESSION TYPE DIPSTICK. WHEN I TOUCHED THE LEVER ON THE DIPSTICK IT SHOT UP APPROXIMATELY 8 INCHES AND SHOWERED MY RIGHT HAND WITH VERY HOT TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS CAUSED SECOND DEGREE BURNS TO THE PALM AND FINGERS, THIS MADE A TRIP TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM NECESSARY. THE OWNER OF THE TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME THAT IN HIS 20 YEARS IN THE BUSINESS HE HAD NEVER SEEN A TRANSMISSION GET SO HOT AS TO MELT THE FILTER. THIS ONE HAD MELTED THE FILTER. *TR

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

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE 25,000 MILES. NO CODE EVER INDICATED SO DEALERS WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE TRANSMISSION UNTIL 1ST AND 2ND GEARS FAILED. PROBLEM OF INCORRECT SHIFTING CONTINUED WITH SEVERAL STOPS AT THE DEALERSHIP. NO CODE NO SERVICE. NOW THE TRANSMISSION SLAMMED IN REVERSE INITIATING A CODE (SPEED SENSOR PASS/FAIL). AFTER AGREEING TO REPLACE THE PORTION OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT CONTAINS THE SHORTED SPEED SENSOR, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE TRANSMISSION WAS CONTAMINATED BY RADIATOR FLUID. NOW THE RADIATOR, NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY, ALSO MUST BE REPLACED WITH THE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION. RESEARCHING HUMMER FORUMS, THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE SPEED SENSOR AND RADIATOR CONTAMINATION THAT IS BEING IGNORED. *TR
