The contact owns a 2006 Hummer H3. On May 23, 2008, while driving 35 mph, the contact attempted to downshift and noticed that the transmission made a rubbling sound. The transmission stopped functioning and the vehicle suddenly pulled to the left. The vehicle was towed to a GMC dealer and they stated that the clutch assembly exploded. The vehicle was serviced and the contact did not notice any differences prior to the failure. While driving 55 mph, the brake warning light illuminated on the instrument panel.
