NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM filed April 17, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1558638 (ODI reference 11196874) concerns a 2006 HUMMER H3 and was filed on April 17, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 11, 2019. The vehicle had 90,344 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HUMMER H3 cohort independently describe similar electrical system failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2006 HUMMER H3 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
THE PADLOCK SYSTEM THAT THE CAR HAS IT PREVENTS THE CAR TO START AND LEAVES YOU STOPPED FOR 10 MINUTES. IT'S BEEN DOING IT LATELY MORE IN THE MORNING OR WHEN THE CAR HASN'T BEEN MOVED IN AWHILE. THE SECURITY ICON IN THE DASHBOARD BLINKS WHEN THE PASSLOCK SECURITY ENABLES AND THAT LEAVES THE CAR WITHOUT STARTING.
