THE INSIDE CHROME WHEELS OF MY WIFE'S 2006 HUMMER H3 ARE FLAKING OFF AND PEELING. PIECES OF THE DEBRIS COME LOOSE AT ALL TIMES (ESPECIALLY WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION). MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT IT WILL INTERFERE WITH THE BRAKE PADS WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED TO SLOW/STOP THE VEHICLE. SINCE MY WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE IN THIS CAR MORE FREQUENTLY, I DO NOT WANT THIS TO BECOME AN INCIDENT THAT COULD LEAD TO AN AVOIDABLE ACCIDENT. I HAVE PICTURES THAT DETAIL MY CONCERN WITH THE INSIDE OF THE CHROME WHEELS THAT I COULD SEND TO YOU (SHOULD YOU NEED THEM).

H3 |DRAINAGE PROBLEM I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED A YEAR AGO AND IT IS BLOCKED UP AGAIN. MY WIFE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HER H3. I HAVE HAD CARS AND TRUCKS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WITH THERE SUN ROOFS. I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT HERE THAT'S HAD THE SAME PROBLEM . WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP ONE OF THE SHOP MECHANICS SAID THE DESIGN WAS A POOR CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN.THE COMPANY SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THERE DESIGN AND FIX IT OR HAVE A PROGRAM TO KEEP THEM FROM FLOODING . IT COULD LEAD TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS . DO TO THE WATER RUNNING DOWN OVER THE LOWER PANELS. I'M NOT HAPPY PAYING TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN. THIS IS JUST A BAD DESIGN ON GM PART. *TR
