I HAVE A 2007 H3 HUMMER WITH 81000 MILES. THIS PAST SUMMER I GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND PUT ON MY AIR CONDITIONING ON HIGH. NOTHING CAME OUT OF THE VENTS. BLOWER MOTOR WOULDN'T EVEN MOVE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC AND IT ALL LEAD TO A BURNT OUT BLOWER MOTOR RESISTER. I HAD PURCHASED A NEW ONE AND REPLACED IT TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE IN THE PLUG FROM IT GETTING TO HOT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE H3. I TALKED TO GM SAFETY AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING AND BOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO AGE AND MILES. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS NOT TO BE A RECALL ISSUE. NO BLOWER MOTOR MEANS NO DEFROST ON YOUR WINDSHIELD. DUE TO COLD WINTERS IN NEW YORK YOU NEED THE DEFROST. NOW MY TRUCKS BLOWER MOTOR WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO DUE TO FAULTY WIRE HARNESS IN TRUCK. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE PLUG AND OLD RESISTER. THANK YOU *TR

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT, I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONER ON. IT WORKED BUT SUDDENLY STOPPED BLOWING AIR. I TOOK IT IN AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR HAD GONE OUT. I HAD IT REPLACED ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN ONE WEEK LATER BUT THIS TIME I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. THE WIRING HAD BURNED GOING TO THE RESISTOR. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT THIS HAPPENS OFTEN WITH THESE VEHICLES AND HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE HUMMER H3. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL SO THAT NO ONE GETS HURT. IF I HAD A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT, THEY WOULD HAVE RECEIVED BURNS ON THEIR FEET FROM THE WIRING MALFUNCTION AND BURNING. I AGAIN AM HAVING TO PAY TO GET THIS CORRECTED.

THIS IS THE FIRST WINTER THIS VEHICLE HAS SEEN. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE EITHER NOT WORKED OR STOPPED MIDCYCLE. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS AT HOME. I HAVE AUTOSTART SO I STARTED MY CARD TO WARM THE VEHICLE AND THAW THE WINDSHIELD. APPROX. TWO HOURS LATER I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON MY WIPERS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON A SECOND OCCASION. ON DECEMBER 31,2008 DURING A STORM THAT CAUSED WHITE OUT CONDITIONS, MY WIPERS STOPPED LESS THAN 5 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE HOME. THE DESIGN OF THE WIPERS CAUSES THE ARM THAT MOVES THE WIPER ITSELF TO FREEZE SOLID AND CANNOT BE UNFROZEN UNTIL YOU GET THE VEHICLE INTO A WARM ENVIRONMENT, UNLESS YOU'RE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE AN ICE PICK OR BOILING WATER WITH YOU! THE VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE WIPERS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. *TR

I OWN A 2007 HUMMER H3. DRIVING HOME IN A SNOWSTORM LAST NIGHT, THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED THE DEALER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TELL ME THAT SINCE THE AREA AROUND THE WIPER BLADES IS SO LARGE, THIS SHOULD BE EXPECTED AND THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL OTHER CALLS ON THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS IN A SNOW STORM AND COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I BOUGHT THE H3 TO DRIVE IN THE WINTER, HOWEVER I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE IN SNOW. NEED HELP FROM GM ON THIS ONE. *NM
