PURCHASED A 2006 HUMMER H3 FROM THE SELLER IN THIS COMPLAINT. I PAID EXACTLY $23,250 ALL CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE. HE ACTUALLY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO NEW JERSEY FROM MASS. TO MY RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AS IT ONLY HAD 14K MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT ONLY 3-MONTH'S AGO. ONE WOULD HARDLY THINK OF "HIDDEN" ISSUES AT THAT MILEAGE. IN ANY EVENT, I HAVE HAD REPAIRS TO THE REAR AND FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, AS IT HAD A LEAK AND THE FRONT END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE MOST DISTURBING THING WAS THIS SELLER LIED TO ME AND MISREPRESENTED THE "TRUE" OR ACTUAL CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE. UNFORTUNATELY WHICH WOULD SURFACE AFTER HE LEFT WITH MY $23,250 IN CASH! I WOULD E-MAIL THE SELLER AND TOLD HIM HE MISREPRESENTED HIMSELF AND THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE AND HOW HE APPARENTLY ABUSED IT. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I DISCOVERED "EXCESSIVE" RUST UNDERNEATH THIS VEHICLE. BECAUSE THESE CONDITIONS WERE NOT DIVULGED TO ME BY MR. JOHNSON, I AM HAVING A HARD TIME SELLING THE VEHICLE THAT PRACTICALLY CLEANED OUT ALL OF MY SAVINGS. HE CLAIMED THIS TRUCK WAS GARAGED KEPT AND THAT HE DID NO OFF ROAD RIDING. THIS APPARENTLY IS TOTALLY UNTRUE, AS THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE AS MUCH RUST AS IT IS LOADED WITH FOR A 2006! SO, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT RECOURSE, I MAY HAVE AS A THE BUYER, BESIDES HIRING A PRIVATE ATTORNEY WHO I CAN'T AFFORD, AS I AM ON PERMANENT DISABILITY. THERE MUST I SOMETHING MY I CAN PURSUE UNDER ANY STATE OR FEDERAL CONSUMER LAWS, ESPECIALLY, SINCE THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BY GENERAL MOTORS.. I SHOULD ALSO ADD THAT I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH A LOCAL HUMMER DEALER "ROYAL HUMMER" IN FLORHAM PARK, WHO SEEMED RELUCTANT TO ADDRESS THE MANY ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH THIS HUMMER! I WOULD ALSO APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN FORWARD THIS COMPLAINT TO GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, IN MICHIGAN, AS THEY SHOULD KNOW I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH DEALERS WANTING TO HONOR,AS THEY SHOULD, ANY WARRANTY WORK! I AM PREPARED TO FILE EVERY COMPLAINT I COULD TO GET RESTITUTION FOR THIS APPARENT. *TR

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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the blower motor connector module overheats, it can increase the risk of a fire.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace part of the blower motor connector and harness, free of charge. The recall began February 26, 2016. Owners may contact Hummer customer service at 1-800-732-5493. GM's number for this recall is 15042.
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVING WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT COULD STRIKE A FOLLOWING VEHICLE AND CAUSE INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL APPLY AN ADHESIVE TO THE HOOD LOUVER TO SECURE IT TO THE HOOD. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 12, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HUMMER AT 800-732-5493 OR AT THE OWNER CENTER AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
CERTAIN VEHICLES ORIGINALLY BUILT WITH CLOTH SEATS THAT WERE EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC AIR BAG PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM AND LATER REUPHOLSTERED WITH AFTERMARKET LEATHER SEAT COVER KITS ARE INVOLVED. TESTING HAS INDICATED THAT THE AFTERMARKET LEATHER SEAT COVERS CAN CAUSE THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, THE FRONT AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MAY BE DISABLED WHEN IT SHOULD BE ENABLED, OR ENABLED WHEN IT SHOULD BE DISABLED. IN EITHER CASE, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT REQUIRES AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, A FRONT PASSENGER'S LEVEL OF INJURY MAY BE INCREASED.
Remedy: BECAUSE A REPLACEMENT LEATHER SEAT COVER THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM IS NOT AVAILABLE, GENERAL MOTORS (GM) WILL REPURCHASE THESE VEHICLES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS STATED IN GM'S LETTER TO OWNERS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 6, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT GM AT 1-877-477-1022 TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF REPURCHASING THEIR VEHICLE.
CERTAIN TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 110, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS." THESE VEHICLES WERE SHIPPED WITH TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABELS LISTING AN INACCCURATE VEHICLE CAPACITY WEIGHT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A MISPRINTED LABEL COULD LEAD TO IMPROPER VEHICLE LOADING SPECIFICATIONS OR TIRE INFLATION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TIRE FAILURE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH CORRECTED LABELS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. AT THE CUSTOMER'S OPTION, A DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 31, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, CADILLAC AT 1-866-982-2339, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, HUMMER AT 1-800-732-5493, PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668, SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876, OR ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727.
