VISIBILITY, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
I WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALL 08V456000 UNTIL THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY HUMMER H2 BEGAN UNTIL THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN BECAME INOPERATIVE. GM ISSUED A SECOND RECALL FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE MOTOR, BUT SAID MY VIN FELL OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL POINTS. I AM HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FINDING A REPLACEMENT MOTOR AT A PRICE I CAN AFFORD. GM SAYS IT IS JUST MY PROBLEM. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND AM UNABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE AS I NEED TO BECAUSE OF CONCERN FOR HIS SAFETY. GM IS RECALLING 13,358 MY 2003 HUMMER H2 VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH WATER CAN ENTER THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MODULE. IF A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF WATER ENTERS THE MODULE, OVER TIME, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS MAY WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR THEY MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE CONSEQUENCE IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, DRIVER VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH. REMEDY DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE COVER, AND REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE COVER FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

WINDSHIELD MOTOR BEGAN RUNNING ON ITS OWN. WIPER FLUID BEGAN SQUIRTING ON ITS OWN. WOULD NOT RESPOND TO CONTROL. RECALL NOTICE DOCUMENT ID # 1197628 STATES THE RECALL IS TO REPLACE A COVER OVER THE MOTOR TO PREVENT IT FROM FAILING....... WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED THEY CHANGED THE COVER? LEAVING THE MOTOR INOPERABLE. I AM SURE THIS WAS NOT THE INTENTION OF THE RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 HUMMER H2. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IN 2005 THE WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER MODULE FAILED DURING HEAVY RAINS. THE DEALER REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. ON JANUARY 21, 2010, DURING HEAVY RAINS, IT FAILED AGAIN. I LOOKED UP THE MODULE ON THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT THAT IN 2008, 2003 HUMMERS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VERY REASON. UNFORTUNATELY, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT WITHIN THOSE RECALLED. I SAW POSTS REGARDING THE FAILURE OF THIS MODULE ON MANY OTHER YEARS. I CONTACTED GMC, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE MODULE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY ONLY RECALL MODELS WHEN THE NHTSA FORCES THEM TO, AND THEY DO NOT VOLUNTEER ANY RECALL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS OBSCURE UNIT FAILING. NO OTHER CAR IN THE WORLD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM, ONLY HUMMER. *TR

STEERING
ON APRIL 22, 2008 MY SON WAS DRIVING MY H2 AND WAS TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO CHANGE LANES QUICKLY DUE TO A CAR MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF HIM. WHEN HE TURNED THE STEERING TO THE LEFT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL FELL OFF AND CAUSED HIM TO SLIDE INTO THE CAR MAKING THE RIGHT TURN. I AM THANKFUL IT HAPPENED WHEN HE WAS CHANGING LANES GOING ONLY 10-15 MILES PER HOUR INSTEAD OF IT HAPPENING WHILE CHANGING LANES ON THE FREEWAY DOING 65 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. WE WROTE TO GMC AS WELL AS OUR WARRANTY PEOPLE AND MY INSURANCE, MERCURY, AND THEY ALL SAID IT WAS NOT A MALFUNCTION IN WAS MY SONS FAULT. WE HAD TO PAY OUT OVER $1800 IN RENTAL CAR FEES AND THEN WHEN WE FOUND OUT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY AND CLAIM IT ON OUR INSURANCE WE DID WITHOUT A CAR FOR OVER 3 MONTHS WHILE THE H2 WAS BEING REPAIRED. WE WERE OUT $2573 IN REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE KNUCKLE AND OTHER STEERING PARTS VIA MARVIN K. BROWN AUTO CENTER. WE FINALLY GOT IT BACK AND NOW ONLY A YEAR LATER IT IS SHOWING SIGNS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING AGAIN. IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN WHEN IT WANTS TO HAVE POWER STEERING OR NOT, IT ALSO TURNS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. I AM VERY AFRAID THAT I OR SOMEONE ELSE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THESE ECONOMIC TIMES I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

WIPER COVER RECALL NOTICE 08243. TOOK VEHICLE IN, WIPERS HAD ALREADY STOPPED WORKING. TOLD CREST CADILLAC THIS WHEN I CALLED. THEY REPLACED THE COVER ON A MOTOR THAT WAS BROKEN ALREADY. WOULD NOT REPLACE THE MOTOR. NOTE ON INSPECTION REPORT SAID WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CALLED GM SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TO RECALL WAS FOR MOTOR COVER AND NOT MOTOR. I WOULD SAY, YES BUT BECAUSE THE COVER IS DEFECTIVE AND ALLOWED WATER IN THE MOTOR ASSEMBLY IT HAS STOPPED WORKING. WOULD NOT REPLACE OR COVER CHARGES. WENT TO SEE MANAGER OR REPAIR SHOP, HE SAID HE COULD NOT REPLACE MOTOR WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION OR HE WOULD NOT GET REIMBURSED FOR CHARGES. FILLED COMPLAIN WITH BBB. GOT CALL FROM GM WITHIN 3 DAYS, AFTER ANSWERING HER QUESTIONS SHE TOLD ME THEY COULD WOULD NOT REPLACE THE MOTOR AT THIS TIME. CALLED MANAGER OF CREST CADILLAC AND GAVE HER INFO. SHE SAID SHE WOULD CALL ME BACK. I NEVER HEARD FROM HER. DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. WHEN THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THEY MADE A LOUD REVVING NOISE AS IF THE MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V283000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR); HOWEVER, THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL OPEN RECALL FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COVER (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V456000: (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR)). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE REPAIRS HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE FOR THE REPAIRS AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT YET PAID FOR THE SERVICES, WHICH IS WHY IT WAS SHOWN AS AN OPEN RECALL. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 60,700.

NEED TO REPLACE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR MODULE. IT QUIT WORKING AND WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REPLACE PART SINCE SEPT 2008. GM INFORMED ME THEY DO NOT CURRENTLY MAKE THIS PART. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO ICE/FROST AND OR CONDENSATION FORMING ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOWS DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER HERE. IT MAKES VISIBILITY SLIM TO NONE. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A MONTH TO FIND SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS PART...THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO. JUST SINCE SEPT 2008 THERE ARE ALMOST 500 PEOPLE HUNTING THIS SAME PART, WE ARE #8 ON THE LIST. I FEEL DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME IT SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALL...REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AS WELL AS FREE LABOR, AND A RENTAL CAR PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE UNTIL GM/HUMMER CAN FIX MY VEHICLE SO I CAN HAVE THE USE OF IT. *TR
