Was doing a frame inspection on my hummer h3. Turns out the rear left frame rail is completely rusted through. And there are parts hanging on by a thread. I have found many complaints online about rust in this exact spot( rear left frame). I believe this issue should be dealt with immediately. Someone could be killed. The car is not that old and no other car of this age and mileage has this amount of rust penetration through the frame. GM needs to be held accountable. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

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 last dealership I went to they advised to come th the dealership but when I got there nobody wasn’t trying to work there instead the said that it was going to be hard to work on it cause nobody work on those cars anymore and then they said they were going to order the part but never call me back for it. Call them but gave me the runaround basically.

So the part that is a malfunction is the rear doors weren’t made with any child lock and of course one of my kids opened the door while i was driving on the highway.I have a 3 and 5 year old and it scared me so bad I had to hurry and pull the hummer over and park and just held my son. I couldn’t even drive after that because of how bad it traumatized me. My mom had to come get and take me and my kids home and drive my hummer back home. Even though we didn’t crash or one of my kids didn’t fall out.it’s still a very serious safety hazard. I reached out to gm to see what my options were and there response was how gm made child locks in 2007 and up and that’s not the truth because mine is a 2007 and it clearly doesn’t have child locks. Then they later proceeded to tell me I should just sell my vehicle. I was so upset because if one of my kids would have fallen out and something happened I would do everything in my power to make sure they were held accountable and file a lawsuit against them. Yes The vehicle is available to inspect. My kids safety was at risk and then me braking and pulling off the highway in panic mode could have caused an accident.it’s been reported to gm and also local dealers. There was no warning just when it happened scared me so bad because my kids are in my back seat. The photos I uploaded are of the transcribed voicemails and I’m willing to also submit the voicemails from gm as well.

NHTSA complaint #11432617 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
Vehicle will not crank. After 10-12 minute wait vehicle cranks. According to symbol this is an anti-theft lockdown. But it happens repeatedly for no reason. Has happened 5 times in 6 days. My concern is this could happen during an emergency or in a dangerous place for a woman alone (dark deserted parking lot for instance). For this reason I am very conscious of where I park, but the 1st time it happened, with no warning, was terrifying. From what I have read even replacing the ignition does not solve the issue permanently, the same thing begins to happen again.

THE ANTILOCK SAFETY IS PREVENTING ME FROM STARTING MY VEHICLE. WHEN IT DOES START, AND I GO TO AN INTERSECTION TO TURN THE TRUCK WILL THEN STALL OUT. IT CAN CAUSE A WRECK. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, TIME CONSUMING, AND MONEY CONSUMING WHEN I HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES TO TRY TO START MY TRUCK, OR IT DOESN'T START, I HAVE TO REPLACE IT FOR $450+ WHICH I DON'T HAVE TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF IT DOES LET IT START I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IT WILL STALL OUT ON ANY GIVEN SECOND CAUSING A CATASTROPHE!!! THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES ON THEIR VEHICLES. GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM.

ON 3/13/2020 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2007 HUMMER H3 WHEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND DASH AREA CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR MODULE HAD BEEN REPLACED RECENTLY AS PART OF A SAFETY RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND SHE HAD JUST MADE A LEFT TURN. ALTHOUGH THE PART HAD BEEN REPLACED, I STILL BELIEVE THAT THIS RECALL ISSUE WAS THE CAUSE OF SAID FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED IT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THERE WAS NO WARNING AT ALL. THIS WAS TRAUMATIC FOR MY WIFE SHE HAD TO JUMP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD A MISCARRIAGE.

MY SUNROOF HAS BEEN LEAKING, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT CHIMES OUT BEHIND & BELOW THE GLOVE BOX. ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IT LEAKS DIRECTLY FROM THE SUNROOF ONTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT, AND BEHIND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. BOTH SIDES SOAK THE FLOORBOARDS FRONT & BACK. IT LEAKS WHETHER STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, HOWEVER WHEN IT HAS BEEN SITTING DURING A RAIN STORM, WHEN YOU MOVE IT, SHEETS OF WATER POUR DOWN FROM THE SUNROOF.

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.
