OWN HUMMER H3 2006. RANDOMLY, TRACTION, FAILURE,REDUCED,POWER,STAB SYS, SERVICE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN ONLY AROUND 40 MILE PER HOUR WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS ON FREE WAY. IT ONLY HAPPENS RANDOMLY. USUALLY AFTER RAIN OR COLD WEATHER. BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. CALLED GM, THEY TOLD ME THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ALTHOUGH THEY SAY THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION AND THERE MIGHT BE FUTURE RECALL. *TR

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! GM SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE INCIDENTS. *TR

LEARNED THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS KNOWN TO GM IN 2008 THAT THEY HAD A DESIGN DEFECT THAT CAUSED PISTONS TO FAIL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WE WENT TO GM DEALERSHIP, CALLED THEIR CORPORATE OFFICES AFTER LEARNING THE KNEW OF THE PISTON DEFECT SINCE AT LEAST 2008. I'M SURE THEY HAVE REPLACED MILLIONS OF PISTONS DURING WARRANTY BUT THE COST OF REPLACEMENT IS $5000. WE LEASED THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS AND ARE PURCHASING IT. GM REFUSED TO ASSIST US IN FIXING THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE DISHONEST AND UNPROFESSIONAL. HOW MANY VEHICLES IN THE US HAVE PISTON FAILURES AS A DESIGN DEFECT? THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED ON A SATURDAY WITH THE DEALERSHIP NOT ADVISING US THERE WERE ANY ISSUES. THE NEXT DAY WE HEADED TO THE LAKE AND 20 MINUTES LATER WE WERE SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING VERY HARD WITH RPM GOING CRAZY. NOW OVER A YEAR AND SEVERAL VISITS TO THE SHOP LATER WE ARE STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS INITIALLY TURNED ON IT WILL NOT MOVE. IT HAS TO SIT FOR ABOUT 3 MINUTES WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHING. IF YOU TRY TO PUSH THR GAS NOTHING HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE IDLES VERY HARD. IT IS ONLY FIRING ON 4 CYLINDERS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THEY SAID IT IS A "BAD BATCH" AND WILL JUST HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE HEAD TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. *TR
