Hummer vehicles are celebrated for their rugged design and off-road capabilities. However, certain models have exhibited recurring issues that may classify them as lemons under California’s Lemon Law. If you’ve encountered persistent problems with your Hummer, you could be eligible for compensation, a replacement vehicle, or a refund.

Common Hummer recalls and defects

While Hummers are built for durability, some models have been subject to recalls and reported defects, including:

  • Engine issues: The 2006 Hummer H3 has been reported to have rough-running engines, especially after surpassing 50,000 miles.
  • Leaking radiators: The 2007 Hummer H3 has had complaints about leaking radiators, leading to potential overheating problems.
  • Faulty oil lines: Certain 2023-2024 GMC Hummer EV Pickup models have been recalled due to oil cooler hoses that could rupture, potentially causing engine stalls or fires.
  • Seat belt defects: Some 2023-2024 Hummer EV models were recalled because of seat belt buckle attachment bolts that may not have been tightened to specification, affecting seat belt performance.

These defects not only compromise the performance and safety of your vehicle but may also qualify you for relief under California’s Lemon Law if they persist after multiple repair attempts.

Hummer models commonly affected by recalls

Several Hummer models have been subject to frequent recalls or known defects, including:

  • Hummer H3 (2006-2007): Reports of engine running rough and leaking radiators.
  • GMC Hummer EV Pickup (2023-2024): Recalled for faulty oil lines and seat belt defects.

If your Hummer model has experienced these or similar issues, Alipour Law Group, APC can assist you in pursuing legal action under California’s Lemon Law.

Any of the following Hummer models may be affected

Hummer has produced a range of models over the years. If you own any of the following vehicles, they may be subject to the issues mentioned above:

  • Hummer H1
  • Hummer H2
  • Hummer H3
  • GMC Hummer EV Pickup
  • GMC Hummer EV SUV

If you own one of these models and have experienced persistent issues, it’s essential to understand your rights under California’s Lemon Law.

How do I know if my Hummer is a lemon?

Your Hummer may be a lemon if, during the first 18,000 miles or first 18 months, any of the following occurred:

  • Substantial safety issue: The dealer attempted two (2) or more times to fix the same issue that can cause serious bodily injury or death.
  • Non-substantial safety issue: The dealer attempted four (4) or more times to fix the same issue.
  • Out of service: Your car was out for a total of more than 30 days for any repair.

Other considerations:

  • Manufactured in the last 5 years.
  • Within the original manufacturer’s warranty.

What happens next if my Hummer is a lemon?

If your Hummer is a lemon, there may be several options available, each with its own benefits:

  1. Buyback: The manufacturer repurchases your vehicle, compensating you for your payments (including down payment and monthly payments), registration, and certain damages. Your Hummer is now officially a lemon law buyback!
  2. Recall: The manufacturer notifies all vehicle owners of a defect that needs to be fixed. Unlike buybacks, not all lemons are recalled, but you can still receive compensation for your damages.

What if my Hummer doesn’t meet these requirements?

Even if your Hummer cannot meet the above requirements, you may still have a valid lemon law claim against Hummer. Many customers bear the burden of driving a defective car simply because they are not fully aware of their rights and assume they don’t have a valid claim.

Options include:

  • Buyback or Compensation: The manufacturer may buy back your lemon or compensate you for the time the car was defective, allowing you to cash and keep your lemon.
  • Recall Notification: Manufacturers may issue recalls for major safety issues, ensuring the defect is addressed.

At Alipour Law Group, APC, our combined engineering and legal expertise bridges the gap for you, protecting you against your defective Hummer.

California Lemon Law and Your Rights

California’s Lemon Law protects consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles that manufacturers cannot repair after a reasonable number of attempts. If your Hummer has been subject to repeated repairs or has spent significant time out of service, you may be entitled to:

  • A replacement vehicle: A new car that is free of defects.
  • A full refund: Recovery of the purchase price, including taxes and fees.
  • Additional compensation: Payment for diminished vehicle value and related costs.

California law also requires the manufacturer to pay your attorney fees if your Lemon Law claim is successful, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket for our services.
