General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Hummer H3 vehicles manufactured February 5, 2005, to May 24, 2010, and 2009-2010 Hummer H3T vehicles manufactured May 21, 2008, to May 24, 2010. In the affected vehicles, the connector module that controls the blower motor speed for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system may overheat.
If the blower motor connector module overheats, it can increase the risk of a fire.
GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 THROUGH 2010 HUMMER H3 VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH THE INTEGRAL CLIP-TABS ON THE LOUVER ON THE HOOD MAY FRACTURE, CAUSING THE HOOD LOUVER RATTLE AGAINST THE HOOD AND BECOME LOOSE. IF THIS INDICATOR IS UNNOTICED, ADDITIONAL CLIPS COULD FRACTURE AND THE HOOD LOUVER COULD DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE.
IF THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVING WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT COULD STRIKE A FOLLOWING VEHICLE AND CAUSE INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
I WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER DRIVER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE HORN FAILED TO OPERATE WHEN PRESSED. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, I DISCOVERED THAT THE HORN DOES NOT WORK AFTER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN EVERY FEW MILES! THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR HOURS OF DIAGNOSIS, AND FINALLY IT WAS DISCOVERED BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A BAD "SIR COIL". THE "SIR COIL" IS ON SPECIAL ORDER. *TR
SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC AND THE A/C STOPPED BLOWING. THE A/C WORKS ON THE LOWER SPEEDS. BURNT/MELTED PLUG ON THE A/C RESISTOR PLUG. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ONLINE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH H3'S AT ABOUT 40-60K MILES. WHY WONT GM DO A RECALL IF THIS IS A DAILY PROBLEM WITH H3 OWNERS. HOW MANY H3'S HAVE CAUGHT FIRE FROM THIS ? IT WAS OVER A 110 DEGREES WHEN MINE WENT OUT. WHAT IF I HAD YOUNG CHILD OR AN ELDERLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE AT THAT TEMP ? *TR
I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT WHY MY HEATER BLOWER WAS NOT WORKING AND THERE WERE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WIRING HARNESS AND RESISTOR BURNING OUT. I CHECKED MINE AND SURE ENOUGH MINE WAS BURNT ON THE WIRING HARNESS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PLASTIC. GM NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT WOULD CAUSE IT TO MALFUNCTION LIKE THAT CAUSE IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HUMMER H3. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD HAD SPOTS AND BUBBLES WHICH DOESN'T ALLOW THE CONTACT TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD CLEARLY. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WAS CRACKED ALONG THE BASE OF THE SEAT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RUST SPOTS COMPLETELY COVERED THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 37550.
