VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, WHILE IN THE POURING DOWN RAIN. NO ACCIDENT, BUT THE 2003 H2 DOES HAVE A RECALL ON THE WIPERS FOR THIS EXACT REASON. I HAD TO PUT OUT OVER 700 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE VIN NUMBER REVIEWED AS TO WHY IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AS WHAT HAPPENED IS WHAT THEY DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM TO BE. I DO HAVE THE INVOICE FROM THE REPAIR. *TR

ENGINE
A PARKED HUMMER H2 2003 WAS SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTED AND DESTROYED. THE SUV WAS DRIVEN THAT FATEFUL DAY FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BACK AND FORTH TO A GROCERY STORE AND PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. ENGINE WAS OFF AND KEY WAS OUT. ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER, MY DAUGHTER NOTICED THE ENGINE ON FIRE AND PANICKED. CALLED 911. FIRE ENGINE HOSED THE FIRE OUT IN THE NEXT 1/2 HOUR BUT THE SUV WAS CHARRED AND THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE DAMAGED BADLY. WE HAD KEPT THE H2 WELL MAINTAINED AND SERVICED IT REGULARLY. THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES OTHERWISE. WE ARE A NON-SMOKING FAMILY. VERY SAD TO SEE OUR PRIDE AND JOY BURNT TO ASHES. MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY HURT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE SO OTHERS COULD BE SAVED FROM THE CATASTROPHE WE ARE GOING THROUGH. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STARTED SMELLING STRONG FUEL SMELLS SO TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. DEALER CALLED AND ASKED ME TO STOP BACK BECAUSE WHEN THEY DROPPED FUEL TANK THEY DISCOVERED FUEL LINES RUNNING FROM GAS TANK WERE SO BADLY CORRODED THROUGH THAT WERE SPRAYING PIN-STREAMS OF RAW GAS ALL OVER THE UNDERSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. SAID IT WAS A MIRACLE I DID NOT EXPLODE OR CATCH FIRE. MECHANIC THEN ASKED ME TO ALSO LOOK AT EVERY BRAKE LINE ON THE TRUCK WHICH WERE ALSO SO BADLY CORRODED AND DETERIORATING THAT HE SAID THEY WERE A REAL DANGER AS WELL AND ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ASAP AT HUGE EXPENSE. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN CAREFULLY MAINTAINED, ALWAYS CLEANED AND SERVICED AND SOUTHERN OHIO (WHERE I LIVE) IS NOT AN ESPECIALLY HOSTILE OR CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW AND IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY IN THIS FAIRLY BENIGN ENVIRONMENT. THIS SEEMS SUSPICIOUS AND IS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED. *TR
