Sunroof leaking creating water to leak into the driver seat, passenger seat, speakers on the door. Water trickling down from the Onstar system while parked and in motion this is a safety hazard. The only resolution that is given from GM is to blow out the hose to the sunroof, that’s not helping this issue is creating mole into the vehicle and once again it’s hazardous when driving As the water raining inside as well as outside of the vehicle. please help not seeing any recalls for this Manufacturing defect.

THE H3 WILL NOT START. DASH SCREEN KEEPS SHOWING THE PASSLOCK ACTIVATED AND WON'T TURN OFF. COMPUTER THINKS THE H3 IS BEING STOLEN. I HAVE TRIED TO RESET AND NO LUCK. I HAD THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO AND CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK AND NOW ON 28 MARCH 2020. ENGINE IS TURNING OVER AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS LIGHT UP, BUT SOUNDS LIKE FUEL IS NOT GETTING INTO THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, FINDING OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE IS TO WAIT 10 MIN, STILL NO LUCK. WAITING 15 MIN SEEMED TO WORK BEFORE, BUT NOW IT DOESN'T. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE SAFELY IN THE VEHICLE, DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND THEN IT STALLS AGAIN? I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVEN'T HAD THIS ISSUE UNTIL IT STARTED 4 WEEKS AGO. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND FUEL STOPS GOING TO THE PUMP? THIS COULD CAUSE A MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

MY 2006 H3 HAS SPORADIC ISSUES WITH STARTING FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT WILL CRANK FINE BUT WILL NOT START. IF I WAIT APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES & TRY AGAIN, IT STARTS WITH NO PROBLEMS. DURING THIS ISSUE, EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS IN THE VEHICLE (RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC..). I'VE HAD IT CHECKED BY SEVERAL MECHANICS & REPLACED LOTS OF PARTS BUT DIDN'T HELP THIS ISSUE AT ALL. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS REFERENCE THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE ONLINE & THROUGH NHTSA BUT NOBODY HAS HAD ANY POSITIVE RESPONSES. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM AS A RECALL. I WILL BE PART OF THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THROUGH THESE THREADS RELATED TO THIS HUMMER H3 ISSUE. THANK YOU & WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE GM ISSUE.

THIS COMPLAINT IS CONCERNING THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM ON MY HUMMER H3. MY H3 HAS BEEN NOT STARTING DUE TO THE VEHICLE THINKING IT IS BEING STOLEN. IT HAS BECOME A FREQUENT PROBLEM AND IS REALLY FRUSTRATING. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING IT WAS, MAYBE 6 MONTHS BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW, IT IS HAPPENING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. THIS MORNING I NEEDED TO BRING MY DAUGHTER TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR AN EXTREMELY HIGH FEVER AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD GET MOVING. THIS HAS BECOME THE NORM. TRUCK WON'T START, WAIT 10 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN; TRUCK STARTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND REALLY AN INCONVENIENCE.

THE ANTI-THEFT ENGAGES RANDOMLY AND PREVENTS ME FROM STARTING MY CAR. THIS IS NOT ONLY INCONVENIENT BUT COULD ENDANGER MY SAFETY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LISTED ABOUT THIS DEFECT BY OTHER H3 OWNERS. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR LESS THAN 1 MONTH AGO.

MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START FOLLOWED BY A 10 MINUTE LOCKOUT PERIOD. THIS HAPPENS EVERY FEW DAYS. ONCE THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 10 MINUTED IT WILL START.

MY VEHICLE REPEATEDLY LEAVES ME STRANDED, DUE TO FAULTY OPERATIONS OF THE GM PASSLOCK SYSTEM. PERIODICALLY, THE VEHICLE, DESPITE BEING CRANKED WITH A VALID KEY, WILL TURN OVER AND THEN DIE, BECAUSE THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM HAS DISABLED THE FUEL INJECTORS AND A FLASHING LOCK ICON WILL DISPLAY ON THE DASH FOR 10 MINUTES. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED, WAITING THE 10 MINUTES THEN CRANKING USUALLY WORKED. NOW, IT TAKES SOMETIMES 8-9 TRIES TO FINALLY CRANK, WAITING 10 MINUTES BETWEEN EACH ATTEMPT, THUS LEAVING ME STRANDED FOR 1-2 HOURS. ONCE THE VEHICLE CRANKS, IT RUNS FINE, BUT I NEVER KNOW WHEN I GET OUT OF IT, IF IT'S GOING TO WORK THE NEXT TIME. OCCASIONALLY, IT WILL WORK FINE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THEN DECIDE TO QUIT WORKING AGAIN. I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE MALFUNCTIONING OF A SYSTEM THAT I HAD NO CHOICE OF OPTING INTO. I AM WILLING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHETHER OR NOT MY VEHICLE GETS STOLEN. I DID NOT ASK FOR GM'S PROTECTION, NOR DO I WANT OR NEED IT. I JUST WANT MY VEHICLE TO CRANK AND DRIVE LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO.

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.

IN A DOCUMENT DATED AUGUST 2015 I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL FOR MY HUMMER H# 2006. "GENERAL MOTORS HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN CERTAIN 2006 MODEL YEAR HUMMER H3. AS A RESULT, GM IS CONDUCTING A SAFETY RECALL. WE APOLOGIZE FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE. HOWEVER, WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR SAFETY A D CONTINUED SATISFACTION WITH OUR PRODUCTS," IMPORTANT * YOUR VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN GM SAFETY RECALL 15042 * PARTS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, WE WILL SEND YOU ANOTHER LETTER ASKING YOU TO CONTACT YOUR GM DEALER TO ARRANGE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT. * THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FOR YOU AT NO CHARGE." TO DATE, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CORRESPONDENCE FROM EITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR GM. THE RECALL LETTER ADVISED ME TO CONTACT YOU IF I WAS NOT SATISFIED THAT THEY HAD DONE THEIR BEST TO REMEDY THIS CONDITION WITHOUT CHARGE AND WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. I CERTAINLY AM NOT SATISFIED THAT THIS MATTER HAS BEEN RESOLVED WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE FOR FEAR IT WILL BURST INTO FLAMES DUE TO THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED TO ME. HOWEVER, I HAVE ONLY ONE VEHICLE AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS NOT RELIABLE IN MY AREA. I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF THE PARTS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE ARE EVER GOING TO BE AVAILABLE, AND FURTHER, IF I WILL EVER RECEIVE THE PROMISED SECOND LETTER TELLING ME TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY GM DEALER TO GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED.

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE LEAKING I NOTICED IT WHEN IT WAS RAINING THAT RAIN WOULD LEAK THROUGH THE ON STAR MICROPHONE AS WELL AS THROUGH THE FRONT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS AND MAKE THE CARPET LIKE A SPONGE: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/ENNNFWKHQWO THE VIDEO ATTACHED TO THIS LINK SHOWS A PRIME EXAMPLE. IF YOU READ THE COMMENTS IT WOULD SHOW MANY CUSTOMERS OF BEEN AFFECTED WITH THE SAME EXACT MODEL VEHICLE. ALSO THIS VIDEO SHOWS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF WATER LEAKING THROUGH THE ON STAR MICROPHONE. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/AQHYFOOSMXG IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE TO PAY $130.00 FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE A MANUFACTURING FLAW THAT MULTIPLE OWNERS ARE GOING THROUGH. PLEASE SET A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE FOR THEM TO RESOLVE. AGAIN IT IS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

THERE ARE REPORTS THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL FIX THE BURNT PLUG, BUT IT WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM, IT'LL BURN UP AGAIN. NOW I HAVE NO HEATER IN JANUARY IN OHIO THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL !!!!!!!!!
