2006 Hummer H3

THE BLOWER ON MY 2006 HUMMER H3 STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND WE SMELLED A BURNT PLASTIC SMELL WHEN THE BLOWER STOPPED. THE SMELL EVENTUALLY WENT AWAY, BUT THE BLOWER NEVER WORKED AGAIN. I FOUND THAT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR NOT JUST HUMMER OWNERS, BUT OTHER GM VEHICLE OWNERS. THE RESISTOR AND PLASTIC CLIP WERE MELTED TOGETHER AND WHEN DISCONNECTED, FIRE DAMAGE WAS EVIDENT. THIS RESISTOR FOR THE AC BLOWER IS LOCATED RIGHT UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND LUCKILY NOTHING FLAMMABLE WAS CLOSE TO THIS WHEN IS BLEW WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE AND SUBSEQUENT DANGER THIS ISSUE POSES. OTHER POSTS OF PEOPLE SEEING THIS ISSUE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. DUE TO HEAVY RAIN CONDITIONS THE SUN ROOF BEGAN TO LEAK. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE DRAIN IN THE SUNROOF WAS CLOGGED. THE DEALER UNCLOGGED THE DRAIN AND WITHIN A FEW MONTHS THE SUNROOF STARTED TO LEAK AGAIN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE DRAIN WAS UNCLOGGED AGAIN; HOWEVER, THE SUNROOF CONTINUED TO LEAK. THE SUNROOF SEAL WAS BEING REPLACED BY THE DEALER WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE COMPLAINTS ON THE LEAKING SUNROOF. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE LEAK WAS DUE TO THE CLOGGED DRAINS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL SINCE THE FAILURE WAS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

HUMMER H3 COMPLAINT FIRST, THE 06 HUMMER H3 SUNROOF HAS LEAKED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF APART, MOST RECENT THIS MAY-JUNE. WATER LEAKAGE INSIDE ON THE FRONT SIDE WINDOW PANELS AND FLOOR PANELS AND FLOOR. MOORE CADILLAC-HUMMER TOLD ME THAT CLOGGED DRAINS WERE THE CAUSE. I THINK THE SEAL MUST BE DEFECTIVE OTHERWISE THE RAIN WOULD NOT GET IN. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY; THIS PAST INCIDENCE THE WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED SO I WAS CHARGED $100 DOLLARS. I HAVE A FEELING THAT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I'VE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN ON OTHER CARS, THE SEALS NEVER LEAKED UNLESS I LEFT THE ROOF OPEN. SECOND, THE A/C FAN BLOWER RECENTLY WENT OUT, THIS JULY-AUGUST, MY LOCAL MECHANIC SAID THAT THE R & R BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR AND RESISTOR WIRE HARNESS BURNED OUT. I'VE READ THIS ON SEVERAL BLOGS, THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN REPEATEDLY DUE TO THE DESIGN AND RESISTOR CAPACITY. HIS SERVICE FEE TO REPAIR IS $300 DOLLARS; ABOUT $170 FOR LABOR AND $ 130 FOR PARTS, WHICH I THINK IS TOO HIGH. I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL GM DEALER (MOORE CADILLAC-HUMMER), THOUGH I PURCHASED IT FROM CRISWELL IN GAITHERSBURG, MD, SINCE I PROBABLY COULD NOT AFFORD THEIR COST. *TR
