2006 Hummer H3

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.

TRUCK WILL NOT START FOR NO APPARENT REASON. KEY TURNS, SOUNDS LIKE IT WILL START BUT DOES NOT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OTHER HUMMER OWNERS TOO. I JUST HAD IT TOWED ONCE AGAIN TO THE MECHANICS SHOP. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME WITHIN ONE YEAR. UNABLE TO LEAVE MY HOUSE DURING AN EMERGENCY, CHILD RELATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, LOCKED UP, AND DID NOT RESTART. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED LATER AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHERE THE FOLLOWING CODES WERE RUN FOR THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING: C0240, P0106, P0601. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WHEN I START VEHICLE SMOKE BLOWS OUT THE EXHAUST FOR 30-90 SECONDS THEN IT IS GONE. SITTING STILL AND ONLY DOES IT WHEN IT STARTS UP. GOOGLED THIS AND OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE. HEAD GASKET LEAKING INTO VALVES. THIS IS A HEADACHE FOR TONS OF HUMMER OWNERS, SO WHY HAVEN'T THEY ISSUED A RECALL? STARTED LAST YEAR, POSSIBLY IN 2015 AND I'VE JUST KEPT AN EYE ON THE OIL AND KEEP REFILLING AS NEEDED.

WHEN THE SUN ROOF GOT CLOGGED WITH DIRT, IT CAUSED WATER TO LEAK INTO THE VEHICLE WHENEVER IT RAINED.

THIS COMPLAINT IS CONCERNING THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM ON MY HUMMER H3. MY H3 HAS BEEN NOT STARTING DUE TO THE VEHICLE THINKING IT IS BEING STOLEN. IT HAS BECOME A FREQUENT PROBLEM AND IS REALLY FRUSTRATING. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED HAPPENING IT WAS, MAYBE 6 MONTHS BEFORE IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW, IT IS HAPPENING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. THIS MORNING I NEEDED TO BRING MY DAUGHTER TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR AN EXTREMELY HIGH FEVER AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. I HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD GET MOVING. THIS HAS BECOME THE NORM. TRUCK WON'T START, WAIT 10 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN; TRUCK STARTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING AND REALLY AN INCONVENIENCE.
