2008 Hummer H3

The last dealership I went to they advised to come th the dealership but when I got there nobody wasn’t trying to work there instead the said that it was going to be hard to work on it cause nobody work on those cars anymore and then they said they were going to order the part but never call me back for it. Call them but gave me the runaround basically.

Engine was replaced at 163,000 miles now at 168,000 miles the frame is rusted beyond repair and is about to give at any moment nothing really left near rear axels. This could have definitely caused a horrible accident to myself or others having a big car just give way and collapse. Took it to mechanic who warned me first then next day took it to body shop that said nothing could be done. Basically both said get rid of it for parts as fast as you can and don’t look back. After the body shop guy actually showed me the rusted out areas i was scared to even drive it like the 10miles back to my house. It sucks after spending all that money on an engine and now having this issue and now having to buy a new car.

THE ANTILOCK SAFETY IS PREVENTING ME FROM STARTING MY VEHICLE. WHEN IT DOES START, AND I GO TO AN INTERSECTION TO TURN THE TRUCK WILL THEN STALL OUT. IT CAN CAUSE A WRECK. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, TIME CONSUMING, AND MONEY CONSUMING WHEN I HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES TO TRY TO START MY TRUCK, OR IT DOESN'T START, I HAVE TO REPLACE IT FOR $450+ WHICH I DON'T HAVE TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IT'S DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF IT DOES LET IT START I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IT WILL STALL OUT ON ANY GIVEN SECOND CAUSING A CATASTROPHE!!! THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES ON THEIR VEHICLES. GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO DO A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM.

RADIATOR HAS A 8 INCH HORIZONTAL HAIR LINE CRACK THAT LETS THE COOLANT LEAK. THE CRACK IS ON TOP RIGHT CORNER( DRIVERS SIDE). THE RADIATOR TOP IS MADE FROM PLASTIC THAT IS PRONE TO CRACKING DUE TO FRAMEWORK BUMPING INTO IT CAUSING STRAIN ON RADIATOR TOP WHICH AFTER TIME CAUSES THE TOP RIGHT CORNER TO ESTABLISH A HAIRLINE CRACK AND CAUSE THE COOLANT TO LEAK. MANY HUMMER H3 VEHICLES OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE OF HAVING HAIRLINE CRACKS IN TOP RIGHT CORNER. HUMMER HAS REPLACED SEVERAL HUMMER OWNERS RADIATORS AT NO COST, DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW THAT THE TOP RIGHT RADIATOR BUMPS INTO THE FRAMEWORK CAUSING STRESS ON IT AND CRACKING. GM HAS UPDATED THE RADIATOR TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT HAS NOT SHOWED INTEREST IN SAYING THAT THIS IS A BIG ISSUE. WHY WOULD THEY ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN TO THOUSANDS OF HUMMER H3 OWNERS IF THEY KNOW THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH THEY ARE AWARE OF. MY HUMMER H3 ONLY HAS 24,400 MILES IN IT AND STREET DRIVEN ONLY HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO SOON.I HAD IT CHECKED BY MY LOCAL GM DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS AND TO CONTACT GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE.

THE ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP. LUCKILY, EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THERE WERE NO ERROR LIGHTS THAT CAME UP ON BOTH OCCASIONS OF THIS HAPPENING. THE BATTERY CONTINUE TO DIE, EVEN AFTER BEING REPLACED THREE TIMES IN 6 MONTHS!

THE SECURITY LOCK SYSTEM ON MY HUMMER H3 INTERMITTENTLY FLASHES DURING START CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT CRANK. NORMALLY I HAVE TO WAIT 10 TO 20 MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET ITSELF AND SHE STARTS RIGHT UP, BUT TODAY IT'S BEEN 8 HOURS. FINALLY I HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW TO THE GM DEALERSHIP. WE GOT LUCKY TODAY. AT 10AM MY WIFE THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING INTO LABOR, WE GET TO THE TRUCK AND NO START. JUST A FLASHING SECURITY LOCK SYMBOL FLASHING AT ME. ENDED UP USING HER CAR. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN, WHAT IF HER WATER HAD BROKE OR MY SON WAS NEEDING MEDICAL ATTENTION. I KNOW GM KNOWS OF THIS DEFECT BECAUSE I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM ONLINE. THEY WILL NOT FIX IT UNLESS MADE TO.
