2007 Hummer H3

IGNITION SWITCH ON THIS VEHICLE IS FAILING SAME AS ON OTHER GM VEHICLES WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED. SWITCH SETTING CHANGES INTO OFF POSITION SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE WHEN A MODERATE BUMP OR DIP IN THE ROAD IS ENCOUNTERED, SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND LOCKING STEERING WHEEL. GM REFUSES TO HONOR RECALL FOR IGNITION SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED UNDER ACTIVE RECALL/LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT. 5 OCCURRENCES OF THIS SHUT DOWN TO-DATE. GM COMPLAINT NUMBER 8-2272247746 WAS RESOLVED IN THEIR OPINION BY STATING TO ME THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF THE CURRENT GM IGNITION RECALL. THE STATED THAT THEY SHARE MY SAFETY CONCERN AND BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT MY EXPENSE. THEY SUGGESTED CONTACTING SAFE CARS.GOV TO ATTEMPT ADDING THIS VEHICLE TO ACTIVE RECALL. PLEASE HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H3. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION CYLINDER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER MADE MANY ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED. IN ADDITION, VARIOUS ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS FAILED AND A BURNING ODOR WAS NOTICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

PASSLOCK PROBLEM (GM SECURITY) CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL AT ANY SPEED WITH NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING TILL YOU COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND TRY IT AGAIN MIGHT GO 1 MILE MIGHT GO 100 MILES BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN, PASSLOCK LIGHT FLASHES WHEN VEHICLE STALLS, TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, THIS HAS HAPPENED 100'S OF TIMES TILL I TOOK IT TO THE ONLY SERVICE MECHANIC SHOP ON OUR ISLAND IN ALASKA AND IT HAS SAT THERE FOR A MONTH NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND NO DEALERSHIP HAS COME THROUGH ON THE PHONE TO HELP EITHER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V421000 (VISIBILITY); HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I HAVE OWNED MY HUMMER H3 FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 YEARS AND DURING THE LAST 4 TO 5 YEARS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A REPETITIVE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING AND THEN AFTER WAITING 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTS WITH NO ISSUES. THIS OF COURSE HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY NOW, BECOMING MORE AND MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE/INCONVENIENCE. I HAVE COMMUNICATED THIS TO GM AND THEIR ANSWER IS THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL AND THEY SOUND SOMEWHAT SURPRISED WITH THE ISSUE AS IF THEY ARE HEARING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. I HAVE GONE ONLINE AND HAVE WITNESSED THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER HUMMER CUSTOMERS. SOME HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO ACHIEVE TEMPORARY OR NO RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM HOPING THAT MY TESTIMONY TO THIS ISSUE WILL FURTHER CORROBORATE/JUSTIFY OTHER COMPLAINS ALREADY FILED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND INFLUENCE A CORRECTIVE ACTION RESPONSE "RECALL" FROM GM.

THE VEHICLE JUST LOST POWER AND ALMOST LOST IGNITION WHILE DRIVING 50 MILES AN HOUR. DIAGNOSTIC CODE STATE, MISFIRE IN CYLINDER ONE. VALVE SPRINGS ( ROCKER ARM) ARE BREAKING PREMATURELY CAUSING A LEAKING VALVE PROBLEM. MECHANIC ALSO NOTICED OTHER SPRINGS WERE FATIQUED CAUSING A LOOSER THAN NORMAL SEATING. GM SERVICE MANAGER MENTION A SPRING PROBLEM ON 2006 2007 RENDEVOUS. ONE OF THE LARGEST COMPLAINTS WITH THE HUMMER 3 IS THIS LEAKY VALVE SYNDROM WHICH THE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT. SOME OCCURING WITH THE VEHICLE HAVING ONLY 30,000 PLUS MILES.
