Some Hummer H3 owners report experiencing engine running issues despite the engine itself functioning, often attributed to various underlying causes. These include cylinder head problems, such as cracks or damage, which can lead to performance issues. Additionally, a cracked radiator, particularly in 2008 models, may result in coolant leaks that affect engine operation. Some owners have encountered timing chain or belt failures, which can cause the engine to stop running suddenly. Transmission failures have also been reported, impacting overall engine performance. Furthermore, engine valve leaks in certain model years, like 2005 and 2006, can complicate engine operation. Regular maintenance and inspections of the cooling system and other components are crucial for preventing these engine-related problems and ensuring optimal performance in the Hummer H3.
