Hummer H3 2006 to 2010 common problems, issues, recalls, defects and complaints

[@Quis85]

Over 200 thousand miles still running. 06 h3. Your correct about all. But they last and run good if you take care of it. Im keeping mine. It's reliable and strong. Looks brand new. I have to humble myself whenever i take to the shop for big stuff I can't fix myself. They are always amazed how good it runs and looks inside and under the vehicle. Yes I pressure wash under the truck and engine bay from time to time.

I have a 2006 H3 5 Speed for over 9 years with 273k miles. Since then replaced the radiators twice, heat resistor twice, wheel bearings twice, camshaft solenoid valve x 3, valve cover gaskets and rebuild the transmission. The TPM is on but I read that the batteries in them only last for 5 years. I figured out how to bypass the passcode lock so you don't have to wait 10 minutes or replace the ignition switch. She's old but she still looks good on the exterior and interior. I usually budget for repairs every year. My family and friends always tell me to get rid of it but I'm like "No Way I love it!"

[@zams100]

How did you bypass the pass lock?

[@javiermendez9365]

How did you bypass the lock issue?

[@robertvanderhoof6082]

I have almost 200,000 miles on my 07 and every single one of these problems has popped up that sometime or another. I still love this truck. But you know what they say. Sometimes love can get you in big trouble.

[@robertvanderhoof6082]

Haha I’ve had almost all these problems. I have a 07 with 185000 miles on it. I still have the truck and still love it and would do it all over again if they till made them.

[@ronhoros2709]

You nailed it!!!!! I have about 4 of the problems right now! Thank you for the great video!

[@waynehutchinson1423]

[@Fire-Manz]

How is the gas on the H3? is it as horrible as the h2 or is it actually somewhat reliable?

[@billynicgorski1]

Hahaha you nailed every one . 150 thousand miles and I repaired everything you mentioned.. funny

[@bachkim4485]

Better than wrangler

[@raulaguilar4952]

Another common problem is the sunroof motor and/or rails will need to be replaced.

2008 with the TPMS sensor light on. mines got the 5.3

[@Zazquatch1]

2008 H3 Alpha with 5.3L V8, 40.000 miles, price: $25.500 or… 2007 H3 Safari Edition pkg (Lifted) 3.7L 245hp, 97.000 miles, price: $17.300 or… 2006 H3 3.5L, 223hp, including Rear Diff Locker, 87.000 miles, price: $13.500 or finally… 2009 H3 3.7, 245hp, Lifted incl. Rear Diff Locker, 44.000 miles, price: $19.000. I am not atm a "Rock Climber" or yet an "Overlander", but I want to have a capable car in snow as I live far up north in Scandinavia. Q - Are the 3.5's and 3.7's enough? I have heard that they are not optimized for such a heavy vehicle. Q - Vere/Are there problems with the 3.5/3.7's with overheating or " oil boiling"? Thoughts..?

[@m998hmmwv7]

They are fairly reliable if you keep up on the maintenance religiously.

[@MastaGooch]

right now i have a h3 hummer 2006, and it has motor oil in its air cleaner resonator... :( any tips? maybe clogged pcv?

[@jrussell49]

My 2007 H3 w/over 200k has had every thing you mentioned. A new problem just came up. At low idle the oil light on the dash comes on and chimes. I drive, it stops. I changed the oil but it persists. How do I fix it?

[@jeaninejoe9801]

sounds like it might be a 0il sending unit,oil pressure sensor maybe. worth a look see

[@americaamerica8579]

That passlock system is a real motherF. Gm should banned for this.

[@robertvanderhoof6082]

I have problem with heat over of my Hammer H3 How can i solve it ?

[@tapiten]

[@mushmmm1509]

My moms hummer h3 shakes hard left and right when braking. Don’t think it’s warped rotors as it literally pulse shakes pretty hard left and right. Is it rotors or possibly something else

[@Odiebutagoldie]

I would have those checked and possibly your brake calipers as well

[@chrisbecker7564]

Front hubs or i have also replaced control arms because the ball joints failed and they are pressed in ,have to replace the whole arm

[@billosbourn4905]

sounds like the rotors to me, need to have them checked and not that expensive

[@BubbaJaeger]

Abs module? Code

[@chrisbecker7564]

#11 problem steering shaft u joints fail

[@nnfefe9451]

GM used to make reliable vehicles. Hummer is just for looks but not sturdy parts were used in making it.
