I own a 2006 Hummer H3. My fan blower quit working. Upon investigation I found the blower motor resistor and the connector to be welded together. I had to replace both items because they were melted together. This has to be a fire hazard and after I googled it to figure out how to fix it I was shocked at the number of people who have had the same problem. I can not believe this has not been a recall issue.

The contact owns a 2006 Hummer H3. While driving at 70 mph under normal conditions the oil and air bag warning indicator lights turned on and the vehicle began to decelerate. The contact turned the ignition off, and on within 5 minutes, drove the vehicle and failure didn't reappear. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. Also, the dealer stated that it could be an electrical failure but they couldn't confirm it. The current and failure mileage were both 13,000.

Vehicle had an engine miss fire that required replacement of the head. Miss. Returned shortly after repairs. Dealer said there was no miss. Vehicle filled up with water during a rainstorm. All interior had to be removed and dried out. Electrical problems occurred that required four batteries over 12 months. Dealer stated it was my problem, because I had a small inverter for computer. Sold the vehicle to the Hummer dealer at a loss of $15,000. Hummer refused any assistance after first stating they would.
