I have the same problem with the switches, but I can reach them with my fingers. However, this is not unique to the H3, I had a problem with my Vette and a Grand Prix I used to own.
My suggestion to Hummer designers....
Extend the arm rest six inches forward, and put the seat switches on the arm rest. (Yes this is expensive since the seat supplier now installs the switches in the seat, and it could require more wiring in the door). Put the window switches on the console around the shifter, as they do on Saturn VUEs. This would cut down on one switch for the passenger door, and allow the passenger to also control all the rear windows.

As for the pedals, I have this problem with tennis shoes, but not dress shoes. I'll give it the ultimate test this weekend when my 6'6" kid, with size 14 feet comes over and takes it for a spin.
I have learned to drive with my foot resting on the bottom of the throttle pedal, versus half-way up. This appears to have solved that problem.
