Yesterday I turned off the alarm and unlocked the doors via the keypad. I opened the driver door and my wife opened the passenger rear door and the Hummer H2 started. No key in the ignition and the fob does not have a start button. I then got in the car and inserted the key and turned the key to ON then to off and the vehicle would not shut off. Only after cycling through the gears was I able to shut off the vehicle. I have now disconnected the battery to prevent another unwanted start.

As I was driving on I 5 in oregon I experienced a complete failure of the electrical system and brake systems. The vehicle was on cruise control and when I disengaged it all of the safety warning light appeared on the dashboard. I pressed on the brakes and they were a complete failure also. At this time the dashboard lights and controls went off and I loss power. I was able to get to the side of the road when I noticed smoke coming from under the hood. I got my daughter out of the vehicle to a safe distance and opened the hood and the main fuse relay panel was fully engulfed in fire. I called 911. In the approx. 5 min.

I feel that this key problem falling out of the ignition, key will not turn on or off making it hard to control when the key is in the ignition and causing it not to start. I had this same problem on a 2003 isuzu ascender. Also the "driver information center" has quit working right which controls a lot of things on the vehicle. I think it is a defective switch from gm who also built my 2003 isuzu.
