2006 HUMMER H3 Electrical System Problems

On the electrical, I refer to my air conditioning and heater. When I have my air selection to coldest and I drop 1 click for it to be less cool, my heater turns on and at times it smells like something burning. I have to turn it off . On the engine, after I hit 90,000 miles, I have to fill up my engine oil every 2-3 weeks because my vehicle is burning it quick or something. It doesn't leak oil at all. The oil just seems like it's burning somewhere and I ha e to be waisting money to buy oil $30 to $60 a month. Please help. Thank you!

THE IGNITION SWITCH IS STAKED AND IS NOT ABLE TO TURNING ON

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.

I GO TO STOP TRACTION CONTROL STABILIZER GOES OUT, I ALSO HAVE BEEN HAVING TO BUY NEW BATTERIES AND CARRY A JUMP BOX THE CAR IGNITION DOESN'T GO OFF ALL THE WAY. YOU WILL COME BACK TO THE CAR WITH THE RADIO PLAYING, DRIVERS WINDOW STOPPED WORKING, ETC

THE PADLOCK SYSTEM THAT THE CAR HAS IT PREVENTS THE CAR TO START AND LEAVES YOU STOPPED FOR 10 MINUTES. IT'S BEEN DOING IT LATELY MORE IN THE MORNING OR WHEN THE CAR HASN'T BEEN MOVED IN AWHILE. THE SECURITY ICON IN THE DASHBOARD BLINKS WHEN THE PASSLOCK SECURITY ENABLES AND THAT LEAVES THE CAR WITHOUT STARTING.

MY H3 HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH RANDOM WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING. OFTEN MULTIPLE LIGHTS LIKE ENGINE, CHECK TRANSMISSION AND TRACTION. EACH TIME I WOULD TAKE IT TO MECHANIC AND WOULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM ANYTHING IN ENGINE. THEN THE 4 WHEEL LIGHT DRIVE WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE MOST RECENT PROBLEM IS MUCH WORST... WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL CAME ON BY ITSELF. I GOT IN IT TO DRIVE IT TO LOCAL MECHANIC AND WHILE DRIVING IT ACTIVATED THE BRAKE AND MANY WARNING LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AS WELL. VERY DISTURBING. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 2006 NOW IT HAS 125000 MILES. I HAVE KEPT A COMPLETE HISTORY OF MAINTENANCE THAT INCLUDES OIL CHANGED EVERY TIME BETWEEN 3500-5000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE (UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX) CAUGHT ON FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THE PERSON FROM THE PARKING LOT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, BUT THE FIRE WAS ALREADY EXTINGUISHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (LAKESIDE CHEVROLET BUICK, 10215 W MAIN RD, NORTH EAST, PA 16428; (814) 746-4300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD, WINDSHIELD, WIRE HARNESS, AND CARPETS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OVER, BATTERY IS FINE, BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT START, DUE TO THE ON-BOARD SECURITY SYSTEM THINKING THAT THE VEHICLE IS BEING STOLEN. THIS FREQUENT PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE NHTSB NUMEROUS TIMES AND TO GM WITH NO RESULTS. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIMS THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT IF YOU GOOGLE: 2006 HUMMER3 STARTING PROBLEMS, YOU WILL SEE A LONG LIST OF EXACTLY THE SAME COMPLAINTS. THIS SITUATION SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL AND REPAIR AT GM'S EXPENSE. THE CURRENT REMEDY IS TO SIT AND WAIT 10 MINUTES UNTIL THE SECURITY SYSTEM RESETS AND THEN THE VEHICLE CAN BE STARTED. THIS CONDITION OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING AND IS NOT COVERED AT ALL IN THE OWNERS MANUAL.

PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING CAUSING THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND FUNCTIONS TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHICH, IS VERY UNSAFE AT NIGHT. IT ALSO PREVENTS STARTING THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY UNTIL YOU WAIT 10 MINUTES, AFTER IT RESETS.

Mileage: 165,000

2006 HUMMER H3 SECURITY LOCKOUT ENGAGES RANDOMLY. HAVE REPEATED OCCURRENCES OF ENGINE NOT ENGAGING UPON ENTRANCE TO VEHICLE. HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE IGNITION WILL WORK AGAIN. PROBLEM OCCURS APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES A WEEK. RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2006 H3.

Mileage: 118,000

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.

I HAVE REPLACED THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS MORE THAN 3 TIMES. GM HAS KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE SINCE 2009 AND HAS NOT CORRECTED IT. THEY HAVE NO WAY OF KEEPING MY H3 FROM RANDOMLY CATCHING FIRE AND REFUSE TO EXPLORE ANY OPTION OTHER THAN REPLACING WITH SAME DEFECTIVE PART THAT HAS ALREADY FAILED. THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO MY PROPERTY OR LIFE DO TO THIS. TO DATE 43 H3 HAVE BEEN TOTAL LOSS FIRES CAUSED BY THIS ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OWNERS LEFT WITH NO HVAC SYSTEM. MY 8 MONTH PREGNANT WIFE IS NOW FORCED TO DRIVE MY 5 YEAR OLD SON TO SCHOOL IN 10 DEGREE WEATHER WITH NO HEAT IN FEAR THAT THE WIRING WILL CATCH FIRE NEXT TIME THE RESISTOR FAILS.

GM HAS A SECURITY SYSTEM CALLED PASSLOCK THAT OVER TIME SEEMS TO FAIL AND TRIPS A "FAILURE" AND FLASHES A KEY SYMBOL ON THE DASH AND DISABLES STARTING YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL IT RESETS 10 MINUTES LATER. THIS OCCURS TO MY WIFE ALMSOT 50% OF THE TIME SHE TRIES TO START HER VEHICLE. SO FAR GM HAS COME FORWARD WITH A FIX YET I'VE SEEN POSTS ON HUMMER FORUMNS FROM HUNDREDS OF OWNERS. THIS HAS MANY SAFETY CONCERNS AS WELL AS JUST BEING A GENERAL ANNOYANCE: 1) IN LAS VEGAS WE ROUTINELY SEE TEMPATURES OVER 110F. IF THE SYSTEM TRIPS AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES IN THAT HEAT IT CAN BE DEADLY 2) MISSING APPONTMENTS OR BEING LATE TO WORK BECAUSE YOU VEHICLE INTENTIONALLY IS DISABLING ITSELF IT UNACCEPTABLE 3) GROCERIES COLD/FROZEN STUCK IN THE HEAT FOR 10 MINUTES WAITING FOR A RESET GET RUINED 4) MY WIFE WHEN ALONE IS STUCK WAITING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE IN THE HEAT OR LOCKING HERSELF INSIDE WAITING FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET CAN LEAVE HER EXPOSED TO CRIMINAL TYPES

WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, NOTICED A GLOW FROM THE CORNER OF MY EYE, AND SOMETHING DRIP FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER GLOVEBOX. THERE WAS A FUNNY SMELL. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED, AND TOLD MY PASSENGER TO GET OUT, AND NOTICED A FIRE UNDER THE PASSENGER GLOVEBOX. I TRIED POURING MILK AND JUICE ON THE FIRE TO PUT IT OUT UNDER THE DASH BUT IT DIDN'T PUT THE FIRE COMPLETELY OUT. BYSTANDERS HELPED WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHERS BUT IT DIDN'T HELP MUCH EITHER, THE FIRE MOVED THROUGH THE FIREWALL AND WAS UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAR QUICKLY WENT UP IN FLAMES AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. ONCE THE FIRE STARTED, THE DOORS DIDN'T AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE BACK DOORS OPEN SINCE THERE IS NO KEY ENTRY AND IT'S ALL ELECTRONIC. IF I HAD CHILDREN OR PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM OUT THROUGH THE BACK DOORS - THEY WOULD NOT OPEN. THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE GLOVEBOX SEEMED TO BE RELATED TO THE RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS TIED TO THE A/C. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, AND GM SHOULD RECOUP EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD A TOTAL LOSS RELATED TO THIS INCIDENT. I WILL NEVER BUY AMERICAN CAR AGAIN, THIS ONE WAS A MISTAKE SINCE I PURCHASED IT WITH CONSTANT ISSUES AND NOW THIS AT LESS THAN 100K MILES. UNBELIEVABLE!

I LEFT MY HOUSE TO PICKUP MY STEPSON FROM PRACTICE. WHILE DRIVING TO THE SCHOOL I BEGAN TO SMELL AN ODOR OF MELTING PLASTIC, PULLING INTO MY STEPSON'S SCHOOL, I BEGAN TO SMELL AND SEE SMOKE. WHEN I GOT CLOSER TO THE PARKING AREA, SPARKS BEGAN TO FALL FROM UNDERNEATH THE RIGHT PASSENGER DASH. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED THE CAR AND RAN AROUND TO THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE AND OPENED THE DOOR. I TOLD THE KIDS TO MOVE BACK AND PLACED A COFFEE CUP UNDERNEATH TO CATCH THE FLAMES DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE DASHBOARD WHICH WAS QUICKLY SPREADING AND BURNING THE CARPET. I TOLD MY STEPSON TO CALL THE FIRE DEPT. I TOOK HIS PHONE AND GOT THROUGH TO COLLIN COUNTY. AND THEY SWITCHED ME TO THE LOCAL FIRE DEPT. BEFORE THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED, MY CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND A TOTAL LOSS. THE FIRE REPORT CONCURS WHERE THE FIRE BEGAN. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH HUMMERS AND THERE ARE MANY REPORTS SIMILAR TO MY EXPERIENCE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACED THAT SAME HARNESS ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR BECAUSE WE SMELLED SMOKE AND REALIZED THE VERY SAME PART HAD BURNED. MANY OTHER HUMMER OWNERS HAVE REPLACED THIS PART MULTIPLE TIMES DO TO THIS DEFECTIVE BLOWER MOTOR FAN HARNESS. THE PROBLEM IS HUMMER KNOWS THE PART IS DEFECTIVE AND THE REPLACEMENT IS ALSO DEFECTIVE. ALSO, THAT PART IS A DEALER ITEM. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO FIXED WITH A NATIONAL PUBLIC RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE OCCURS.

I LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE I STARTED LOOKING FOR WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE SMOKE. I REMEMBERED THAT THE SMOKE DIDN'T START UNTIL AFTER I TURNED ON THE HEATER SO I IMMEDIATELY CHECKED ALL RELEVANT FUSES AND RELAYS WHICH WERE GOOD...NONE WERE BLOWN. I THEN SET ABOUT CHECKING THE FAN, AND AS I REMOVED THE RESISTOR FROM THE FAN HOUSING UNDER THE DASH AND UNPLUGGED IT I SAW THAT IT (THE RESISTOR) WAS BURNED AT ONE OF THE BLADES.WITH SOME PLASTIC AROUND IT AND SCORCH MARKS AT ANOTHER BLADE. THIS PROMPTED ME TO INSPECT THE RESISTOR FEMALE RECEPTACLE ON THE WIRING HARNESS. I BEGAN INSPECTING THE RECEPTACLE. I FOUND A BURNED UP FEMALE BLADE RECEPTACLE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE RESISTOR SHORTED OUT OR THE WIRING HARNESS SHORTED OUT. I WENT TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE AND BOUGHT ANOTHER RESISTOR BECAUSE I NEEDED HEAT IN MY VEHICLE SO I PLUGGED IN AND REINSTALLED THE NEW RESISTOR AND STARTED UP THE TRUCK AND OBSERVED THE RESISTOR. NO SMOKE. I THEN TURNED ON THE HEAT (FAN) AND IT WOULDN'T COME ON SO I JUGGLED THE WIRING HARNESS AND IT CAME ON. BUT NOW I CANT SELECT RECIRCULATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHEN I DO ALL THREE LIGHTS ON ALL THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL KNOBS JUST BLINK ABOUT 5 TIMES THEN STOP.. ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN GIVE ME IN THIS MATTER WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *TR

WE HAVE BATTLING THE PROBLEM OF THE SUNROOF LEAKING ON OUR HUMMER. THERE IS DRAIN TUBES IN THE CORNERS OF THE SUNROOF THIS WATER IS SUPPOSED TO GO DO THESE TUBES THEN ON THE GROUND. HOW EVER THIS IS NOT THE CASE. IN MOST CASES THE WATER LEAKS DOWN THE PILLARS IN THE TRUCKS DASH COMPARTMENT AND SOAKS THE CARPET ON BOTH SIDES AND THE HEAD LINER. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL ACCESSIONS AND THEY JUST SAY THEY WERE STOP UP BUT THEY JUST LEAK THE NEXT DAY LIKE NOTHING HAS EVEN BEEN DONE. THEY CHARGE 300 DOLLARS TO DO THIS. I HAVE THE TECHNICIAN TELL ME THAT NOTHING HE HAS DONE WILL FIX THIS OFF THE RECORD..WHEN THE WATER IS POURING IN THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO THE ONSTAR GOES OFF AND YOUR LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE GO DIM WE HAVE HAD THE CPU SHORT OUT DUE TO WATER THE BLOWER CONTROLLER BOTH FRONT SPEAKERS AND BEHIND THE DASH ALL THE METAL PARTS ARE COVERED IN RUST. WHEN THE ELECTRICAL PARTS SHORTED OUT THE WIRES WERE BURNT AND WE WERE DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED ON ONE OCCASION AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. WE HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TAKEN IT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HELP. THE TRUCK IS ALWAYS DAMP INSIDE. THEN OF COURSE THE SMELL OF THE CARPETS. I EVEN HAVE CONTACTED GM AND JUST SAID TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE GONNA CHARGE THE SAME THING. I AM SCARED FOR MY WIFE AND FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK. WE WILL NOT EVEN LEAVE IN THE GARAGE DUE THE RISK OF FIRE. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM THERE IS OVER 60K TOPICS ON THIS AND FORUM AFTER FORUM ABOUT IT. AND EVERY IS SAYING THIS. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND GM IS NOT GOING TO STAND BEHIND THIS. I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMETHING VERY BAD HAPPENS TO SOMEONE IN THESE TRUCKS.

ON OCTOBER 30TH I SMELLED A FAINT SCENT OF SOMETHING BURNING INSIDE MY VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. NOVEMBER 1ST WAS OUR FIRST COLD MORNING SO I STARTED MY CAR, AND HAD NO HEAT. THE SYSTEM WASN'T BLOWING, BUT THE HEATER A/C CONTROLS WERE LIT UP. SINCE I AM A MECHANIC, AND HAVE KNOWLEDGE I WENT RIGHT TO THE FUSE BOX IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FUSES WERE OK. I THEN WENT TO THE BLOWER RESISTOR PACK WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER THE GLOVE BOX. THE ORANGE POWER WIRE IN THE HARNESS WAS BURNT UP PRETTY GOOD, AND THE TERMINAL MOLDED INTO THE HARNESS PACK WAS ALSO BURNED UP PRETTY GOOD. I THEN WENT ONLINE TO GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM TO SEE HOW COMMON IT WAS, AND WAS SURPRISED TO SEE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THERE ARE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, NOT JUST REGARDING THE HUMMER LINE, BUT WITHIN GM VEHICLES ITSELF. I CALLED THE SERVICE TECH WHERE I HAVE MY WORK DONE, AND HE WAS VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS FAILURE. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING TO MY OFFICE FROM A LUNCH BREAK, MY A/C AND VENTILATION STOPPED WORKING, I TURNED THE ON AND OFF DIAL AND AIR NEVER CAME BACK ON, SHORTLY AFTER THAT A STRONG "BURNED" SMELL CAME FROM THE GLOVE BOX OF MY VEHICLE, I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED A LITTLE BIT OF SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE GLOVE BOX. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNED AND DISCOVERED IT WAS A BURNED OUT "VENT BLOWER RESISTOR" (AC DELCO PART# 15-80647) I HAVE SINCE REPLACED IT BUT IT STILL NOT WORKING. I HAVE THE BURNED PART IF EVER NEEDED, I MUST SAY I DON'T FEEL AT ALL SAFE WITH A SITUATION LIKE THIS AS IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME. I DECIDED TO INCLUDE MY COMPLAINT AS I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS ON THIS VEHICLE, A FIRE IS EMINENT AND SHOULD BE PREVENTED.

ONLINE SEARCH OF H3 A/C BLOWER ISSUES GAVE ME A PLACE TO START LOOKING. FUSE WAS OK, CHECKED RESISTOR PACK (PN 11221007.011) UNDER DASH AND FOUND PIN "A" MELTED WITH SIGN OF RECENT ELECTRICAL FIRE DUE TO SHORTING OUT. THE ORANGE CONNECTOR ON THE HARNESS WAS ALSO MELTED. FURTHER ONLINE RESEARCH OF THIS ISSUE REVEALED THAT IT IS A "COMMON OCCURRENCE". I CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD "THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT".

I BOUGHT MY HUMMER H3 IN AUGUST OF 2009, USED AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP THAT IS A SISTER STORE OF CHEVY/HUMMER DEALERSHIP. MY 2006 HUMMER WAS FINE UNTIL THE COLD WEATHER HIT. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AROUND THE FIRST WEEK OF NOVEMBER. I WAS LEAVING TO GO TO A FRIENDS HOUSE AROUND 9:00PM I WENT OUTSIDE HOWEVER TO TURN MY HEAT AND MY HEATED SEAT ON, AND ABOUT FIVE MINUETS LATER I WENT OUT TO MY CAR TO LEAVE AND MY CAR WAS FREEZING WITH NO FAN MOTOR ON AT ALL. AFTER STARING AT MY FUSE BOX AND READING THE CRAPPY OWNERS MANUAL FOR AROUND AND HOUR, WE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT NO FUSES HAD BEEN BLOWN. THE NEXT DAY I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO THE CHEVY GARAGE. THE SERVICE MAN CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID THAT HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. A WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING BACK TO PICK UP MY HUMMER UP. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP I GOT ABOUT FIVE MILES UP THE ROAD AND MY CAR WAS FILLING UP WITH SMOKE. I THEN RETURNED MY CAR TO THE DEALER. A WEEK LATER AGAIN I PICKED MY CAR UP, DROVE FINE AND GET THIS I EVEN HAD HEAT FOR ABOUT A MONTH. UNTIL IT WAS AROUND CHRISTMAS AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED, DROPPED MY CAR OFF AND A WEEK LATER PICKED IT UP. TWO WEEKS LATER AND IT WAS AROUND THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE GARAGE YET AGAIN AND THE FIXED THE SAME THING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FIXING, NO CHANGE AND NO INVESTIGATION ON THE PROBLEM. THE FIFTH TIME HAPPENED AROUND FIVE OR SIX DAYS AFTER I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE PREVIOUS TIME GETTING FIXED, ONLY THIS TIME THEY BROUGHT IT TO THEIR SISTER STORE THE ONE WITH THE HUMMER CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS. I FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK TWO WEEKS LATER. THEN AROUND THE LAST OF THE COLD WEATHER IT HAPPENED AGAIN IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF APRIL. I GOT IT BACK AND HAD NO PROBLEMS, NOT EVEN WITH MY A/C, WHICH I RUN ALL SUMMER LONG. NOW THIS NOVEMBER WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AGAIN SINCE LAST APRIL, AND IT'S GOING TO BE THE LAST. *TR

LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY HOME WHEN MY H3 CAB FILLED WITH SMOKE BLOCKING MY VISION AND THE A/C BLOWER STOPPED...I NEARLY DROVE INTO A TREE...IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED, I WOULD BE DEAD. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL SHOP, AS CLOSE AS I COULD GET...ANYWAY MY DEALER WAS SHUT DOWN AS GM WENT INTO BANKRUPTCY. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT A WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR BURNED OUT, CREATING THE SMOKE AND CUTTING THE BLOWER OFF (SEE PHOTOS). I REPORTED THIS TO GM, ASKING THEM FOR REFUND OF COSTS AND TO INVESTIGATE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER. THEY REFUSED BECAUSE I AM OUT OF WARRANTY! I BELIEVE THEY ARE COVERING UP A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING FLAW...WHEN THE MECHANIC PHONED GM FOR THE WIRING HARNESS SECTION INVOLVED, THEY HAD IT IN STOCK READY TO GO...EVIDENTLY, GM KNOWS OF THIS FLAW.
