2008 HUMMER H3 ALPHA WITH FACTORY TOW PACKAGE TRAILER ROUTED BETWEEN SHARP BODY PANEL AND BUMPER CAUSING VEHICLE MOTION TO RUB THE WIRES. THE EXPOSED WIRES SHORT TO THE BODY AND CAUSE HIGH CURRENT MELTING INTERIOR WIRING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN IMNTERMITTENT FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR AND HAVE HAD GM DEALER TROUBLESHOOT THE FAILURE OF TRAILER BRAKES AND LIGHTS WITH NO SOLUTION. I DISCOVERED PROBLEM BY REMOVING REAR BUMPER. PROBLEM CAN BE AVOIDED BY SHIELDING WIRING AND SMOOTHING THE SHARP METAL EDGES IT CROSSES. *JS

AND JUST AS EVERYONE SAID I PULLED OUT THE HARNESS AND IT WAS BURN COMPLETELY OUT. GM THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED COMPLAIN, OR SOMETHING POSSIBLY HAPPEN TO SOMEONE BEFORE YOUR COMPANY TAKES ACTION, WITH ALL THE RECALLS GOING ON WITH YOUR COMPANY YOU WOULD THINK YOU GUYS WOULD LEARN. *TR

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS HUNDREDS OF OTHERS WITH GM'S FAULTY BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR. THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS HAVE FAILED 2 TIMES NOW. MELTING TO EACH OTHER. LUCKILY NO FIRE, YET. THESE ARE EXPENSIVE VEHICLES, AND GM SHOULD OWN UP TO THE DESIGN FLAW AND ISSUE A RECALL, AND OR OFFER A REPAIR KIT THAT TRULY FIXES THE FLAW THAT OWNERS CAN INSTALL AS THE LOCATION IS FAIRLY EASY TO GET TO AND WORK ON IT. THE PURCHASERS OF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS QUALITY FLAW, AND RISK THEMSELVES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS. GM - DO THE RIGHT THING AND AVOID MAJOR LAWSUITS. *TR
