2006 Hummer H3 engine and engine cooling problems

“The contact owns a 2006 Hummer H3. The contact stated that the frame was rusted on the driver's side. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact looked underneath the vehicle and was able to see through the subframe. The contact also noticed cracks in sub frame. The contact was concerned about driving the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined there was an issue with the temperature sensor. While receiving an oil change, it was determined that the subframe was rusted. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that there was no recall coverage for the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.”

“THE OIL HAS BEEN CHANGED BUT I WILL DRIVE IT 10 TO 15 MILES AND STOP. THE OIL LIGHT AND THE DINGER COME ON. I RESET THE BUTTON AND THEN COME TO THE NEXT STOP AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE DINGER GOES OFF. THE ONLY WAY IT STOPS IS SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND LET IT SET OVERNIGHT. I CHECK THE OIL WHEN IT DOES THIS AND THE DIP STICK IS FINE. IS THIS AN OIL SENSOR PROBLEM AND IS THIS UNDER WARRANTY OR A RECALL? *TR”

“ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DURING EMISSION TESTING, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO FAIL. JUST HAD THE THERMOSTAT AND EVAPORATOR VALVE REPLACED THE WEEK BEFORE. THE EMISSIONS DEPARTMENT STATED THAT IT WAS A CODE P0300, MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 1. I TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND AFTER A COIL TEST AND COMPRESSION TEST (FAILED), THEY STATED THAT IS WAS A CYLINDER VALVE LEAKAGE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN OUT ON 2006 H3 FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE'S VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THIS BULLETIN AND THAT THE MILEAGE WAS PAST THE WARRANTY. THE ONLY THING THEY COULD SUGGEST TO ME IS TO TAKE IT TO A GM CERTIFIED REPAIR FACILITY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE COMPLETE REPAIR MYSELF. *TR”
