2007 Hummer H3 electrical complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 76, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle won't start. The passlock prevents the vehicle from starting. The car alarm will start while I'm outside the vehicle and then the vehicle won't start. I replaced the battery but the passlock still makes the alarm go off while its locked in the driveway.

As I was reaching a light to slow down behind a vehicle, my car up in dies on me out of nowhere. I was unsure as to what happened seeing as I just intended to slow down for my hummer to just completely die on me. I had it in drive but it died how it was (my speedometer was still sitting at 40 MPH). I had never had this issue before so I was confused in scared because when my vehicle stopped, nothing would turn on not even my hazard lights. I was unable to communicate with other drivers to let them know there was an issue with my vehicle as I was stuck in the middle of the road with the key not even clicking to the ignition. I called the police to bring a detour and a tow tuck.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 hummer h3. While driving 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled and the theft lock warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was restarted. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic and unknown fuses related to the electrical system were replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 145,000.
The battery continues to be dead: sometimes starts, sometimes doesn't. I've replaced the battery twice and problem remains. How many complaints does it take for the manufacturer to remedy this problem? I love my hummer, but I am afraid to go anywhere in it because I don't want to get stranded when it is below freezing outside. Currently I have to carry a spare battery and jumper cables in my backseat just to get it started when this problem acts up. Also affecting my ability to work and take care of my family. Strongly suggest a class-action law suit against the manufacturer to correct this problem. Enough is enough!!
I purchased this 2007 hummer h3 on june 2016 with 77,000 miles on it. On 11/13/2016 with 80,300+ miles , I experienced the first no start condition due to "passlock theft-deterrent system" indicator blinking when I tried to start the vehicle. I looked up the owners manual on page 100 and it indicated to wait 10 minutes before starting the vehicle again. The vehicle started after waiting for 10 minutes. The second no start condition with "passlock theft-deterrent system" indicator blinking again was on 12/05/2016 with 80,900+ miles and outside temperature was freezing point at that time and I have to wait 10 minutes inside the cold vehicle before I can start it again.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 121,642.
Several times, while parked, the passlock security system will randomly disables the engine from starting. After waiting 10 minutes the system will allow the vehicle to start. This makes starting the vehicle in an emergency very unreliable and dangerous.

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.

Repeat no start due to faulty security system. Had to go to emergency room and could not go due to faulty security or "pass lock" issue and this is apparently known. Why is there no recall, this is a safety issue!
My car will not start due to the pass lock engaging when I go to start the vehicle. I have to wait 10 to 15 minutes for pass lock to reset and then it will start. My car is always parked when this problem occurs. This problem has been on going for a year now, started once a month and now it's every 2 weeks.
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

I keep getting a code that states that my truck runs with a low engine temperature. Plus my truck has had a leak from some where around the lower windshield that is causing electrical problems and soaking wet floors! We had a mechanic look for the leak and try to fix this issue but was unable to find the problem and we were also told by a few dealership that they have seen a lot of h3 hummers with the same problem! Also we are having issues that causes the traction signal to come on regularly and it causes my truck to lock up. It has almost caused us to wreck several times! It's very scary to drive my hummer! Every time we have any of these problems we are always in motion and it's always on the highway when we are driving at higher speeds. It never seems to happen while driving around town!! This has been continuing going on ever since we purchased this vehicle in august 2014
I received an important safety recall letter from hummer (gm) in august 2015 for my 2007 hummer h3. It is safety recall 15042. The letter indicated that it was a safety recall stating the connector module that controls the blower motor speed in the heat/vent/air conditioning (HVAC) system may overheat under extended operational periods at high and medium-high blower speeds. If this condition occurs there could be a risk of fire. The letter said parts weren't available and when they were I would be contacted to arrange a service appoint. After several months and no call, I contacted the number, 1‑800‑833‑6537, and asked what the hold-up is on the parts? I was told the parts were still unavailable. After several more months, I called again only to receive the same excuse with no projected date of arrival. To me this unacceptable especially this recall involves a potential risk of a fire. It is now march 2016 and I have not been contacted. I find it hard to believe that it takes so long to obtain replacements. I am hesitant to use the blower motor because of the potential fire risk.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 hummer h3. The contact stated that the vent control functions for the AC/heater failed to operate without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available. Parts distribution disconnect.
The radiator has a crack in it which is a very common issue...needs to be recalled. My h3 was idling rough and would shut off. Had to replace throttle body and solenoid. The anti-theft acts up and the h3 won't start have to wait 10 minutes. The AC blower and connector burnt paid for it to get fixed then the recall comes out 7 days later....still haven't been refunded for that. I have all the issues on my 2007 h3 that should all be recalled and fixed at gm expense. Sunroof drains get clogged all the time and have water leak onto the floor which makes the ABS light trigger on and off. Issue after issue which gm doesn't take any responsibility for. It looks like it's time to sell the hummer h3!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 hummer h3. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the contact smelled burning plastic. The vehicle became filled with the odor.

After reading all if these complaints I decided to write mine. Probably about a little over a year ago the first thing that started was my tpm sensor would come on and then go off I took it to the tire store and they said this could be going bad ok well then it stopped , next I got into my vehicle from grocery shopping and my car would not start in the hot summer in my vehicle ( thank god my 2 young kids weren't with me) after several attempts it finally started, this happens a lot more then once until one day when it was freezing cold outside in wonderful wyoming my key would not come out of the ignition, I had to unplug my battery until I could take it to the shop ! Then after I get my car back a few days later my blower to my heater quit working for a few minutes and then I smelled a burning smell, I called the repair shop again to take it back and there was a charred wire and they had to replace what was being recalled.( I received the 1st letter about 6 months later) , which I still haven't received a 2nd letter! Now I'm starting to have a issue of my car dying when I'm slowing down to stop at a stop sign or to turn!!! I happened to get on her and read all the complaints and nothing has been done!!! I have 2 small children and this is absolutely disturbing, I am really regretting not getting rid of this vehicle last year!! I beg that you all please look into these, before someone dies or anything else!! ( it shouldn't even get to that point). I had about 70,000 miles when this all started and noe I have 84,999. My MPH was 0-30 !!!

The car wouldnt start because the passlock system engages and then you have to wait 10 min for it to reset, then it will start. The vehicle was in park and off.
I've had electrical concerning the factory and after market alarm system that the dealer influenced me to buy. I've had some sort of short causing to have it towed to dealer several times, I never got a complete understanding or reasoning for the problem. Now my air condition blower stopped working and I was not informed of the recall for my car from the manufacturer or the dealer. After contacting dealer that I bought the car from was informed that there wasn't a fix for the problem
Our 2007 hummer h3's air conditioning stopped working in may, 2014. We took it to our mechanic and they found burned/melted wires and components related to the blower relay. They replaced parts and wires to return the A/C to working order. Recently, we received the recall notice related to this hazard, but gm doesn't have a solution yet. Today, the selector on the A/C has stopped working. We have a serious concern that wires and components might be burning again. We have stopped driving the car. How can gm get away with this dangerous hazard and not fix our car? I see so many complaints on this website related to this issue. What other agency of the government can influence the car manufacturer to remedy this potentially-deadly defect?
