Hello, I have a Hummer H3 as well, and radiator is leaking and the cylinders misfire and it idles rough. Now needs a head job. All the problems add up to be around 5 grand. Love the vehicle, but just tired of all the problems, and I see all the things going on with mine are common problems!! Something has to be done about this. Vehicles cost too much money to also be adding thousands of dollars worth of work into them as well. We need to take action against GM immediately get the ball rolling some how, some way. Add me in lyricsdew@yahoo.com.

I have 2006 H3 with 49000 miles and have just been told the motor is shot. I have had no problems with it until now. We purchased it in May 2014. Count me in for a class action lawsuit.

My 2006 H3 does the same. I am so frustrated with it. I've invested so much money on it already. I'm also interested in the suit. Marlymada@yahoo.com

I have the misfire issue with my 06 too. Filed a complaint with the NHTSB today requesting a recall investigation. If enough people do it, then they will have to look into it.
Add me to the class action list if it happens. Missy.ashe@gmail.com

Me too, just bought my 06 H-3, and the day after I bought it, the engine light came on with a misfire on #4. 75000 miles, been through coil pack, plugs, lots of Sea Foam, had the head leakdown test, but it passed at 10 percent. Also found out, after they charged me 400.00 for that test, that the head was replaced at 30000 miles. They think my injector is clogged now. Had this piece of crap for 3 weeks now and am sick already. a1tony@outlook.com

Love the Hummer. I'm going to replace the piece of junk 5 cylinder with an LS3 from a Camaro I found totaled. I hope it sucks more fuel for all the tree hugging hippies that drive electric cars!!!

Bought my 06 H3 in 08 with 40 thousand miles on it.
Now it has 175 thousand and has been nearly trouble free; all the repairs that have been needed were front and rear brake pads, a set of spark plugs, radiator cap, and early oil changes every 3 thousand miles.
Now at 175 thousand it's got cylinder head problems causing a number 3 misfire. I'm not crying and complaining and trying to sue GM; the fact is it's my car not GM's; I own it and will have to repair it. I have been a mechanic for over 30 years and don't understand people's mentality that their costly car repair is someone else's problem.

Just buying my first H3, did not leave the lot, coolant leak, radiator replaced, 90921 miles.

The H3 Hummer is a bad product and GM is not standing by the product. I believe reporting the vehicle a lemon is the best way to win with GM and the dealerships. GM is basically a bad seller of cars; do not buy from GM.

I have had 3-5 GMs at any given time and disagree. Never owned this model, but a variety of others. Most new. I am aware of engine issues on these as a coworker's daughter has one. This model in all its forms and sizes simply never appealed to me. I have had Crossovers to a high top conversion van from GM. And Silverados for trucks. So escaped the engine woes of this model. I agree, bypass this one, but not all of the GMs.

06 Hummer H3, update, now at 80000 miles and more money spent, took it back for ANOTHER leakdown test, turns out after 4 tests, the leak happened on one of those tests. Need another new head. Spent close to 1000.00 just to find out that I need to spend another 4300.00 on this piece of garbage that General Motors built. Need that lawsuit people!!!

I bought my Hummer H3 2006 about 3 years ago from a private owner. This vehicle has been a nightmare. Since then, I have rebuilt the engine, changed the thermostat like 3 times, changed cylinder 1 and 5, put in all new sensors, put in a brand new gas pump, new oil seals, fixed A/C and heater, took in to a dealer to replace the blower motor due to a recall... basically anything you can think of, it has been done and this car still consumes oil. I have to keep buying oil all the time.
Right now I'm currently working on fixing the heater because it doesn't work. It has cost me thousands of dollars to repair this car and it's still giving me problems.
Has anyone started a lawsuit? I would love to get included in it. Please I need help.

All these H3 owners posting here their tales of woe... but all waiting for someone else to file a lawsuit?
9th Dec 2017, 15:14
I’d just sell it and simply buy a Rubicon or something else. I do not want the stress and repeated problems. Who feels like taking up a bunch of time in service visits or lawsuits.
10th Dec 2017, 13:21
Sell it privately to an experienced mechanic if possible that can deal with the issues directly. And not feel guilt passing a trouble prone vehicle onto a consumer unaware of the issues. That’s what I would do.

Please add me to the class action suit.

I bought an 06 H3 and have same problem that everybody is having with misfiring and burning oil. It has 138,000 miles, and since new I have replaced a rattling catalytic converter, a leaky radiator and a thermostat.
30th Jun 2020, 19:21
I too have an 07 Hummer H3.
Replaced the coil packs, new CV axles and rebuilt GM’s plastic parts transfer case... that got me about 3000km, then had the head replaced... tech installed it wrong so the next step was a new engine... now I’m about 1500km on the “new to me” engine, and same problem... GM has this same engine in the Canyon... The Canyon got its tech update and GM warrantied the faulty gasket and the head... they also spent a lot of money to make sure Hummer was not included, as not in that package I assume, as they were going to drop the whole lineup.
Yes this 100% should be GMC’s problem... instead of paying the customer to protect a dead brand, they paid the lawyers to make it go away... I’ll never own another GM... guess that's all we can do...

Anybody ever had a issue with the radiator cracked at top right driver's side? This is a defective issue; the framework causes the stress, which within time, the radiator establishes a hairline crack, then the leak. GM redesigned the radiator to fix this issue, but won’t admit it’s a design flaw. Contact GM and complain about it.

Oil sending unit is probably bad.
