2008 Hummer H3 Steering Problems

“I own a brand new base model 2008 Hummer H3 not even done 300kms on the meter and I hear and feel a rattling sound under the gas and brake pedal when the car travels 10 miles or so or when its very hot, I live in the middle east dubai and its always hot here... So please address this issue I think its the steering shaft,,,, and find a solution thanks.”

“I have a 08 Hummer H3 and just found out that I have a cracked radiator. The vehicle only has 52,891 miles on it. This seems to be happening alot to the 07 and 08 Hummer H3. I think we need a recall on this. All of the forums I have seen have had theirs crack in the same place. All on top of the radiators. This is something you might want to look into. I know personally I am tired of something going wrong on this. First was the rack and pinion with only 50,844 miles and now this. Come on its time for a recall.”

“I have a 2008 Hummer h-3. On november 3rd 2009 while driving about 30 miles an hour on a sharp left curve, there was a loud clunk in the front end and the truck pulled hard to the right making the vehicle go down into the ditch. Several week before this incident while in a parking lot making a sharp left turn( less than a mile per hour) there was a real loud clunk in the front passengers side, this happen twice including a week before the failure. When I checked under the front end I did not see anything. The vehicle was taken to the Hummer dealer but they could not tell if anything failed. …”

“The engine completely shut off while driving on a major highway. The steering wheel locked up and the car came to a stop. Luckily, each time this occurred, I was able to pull over to the shoulder. There were no error lights that came up on both occasions of this happening. The battery continue to die, even after being replaced three times in 6 months!”

“The contact owns a 2008 Hummer H3. Upon starting the vehicle, the steering wheel would inadvertently move to the left and right without warning. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the failure was due to the upper steering shaft and a bushing that needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 143,000.”
