STEERING:LINKAGES:KNUCKLE:SPINDLE:ARM
ON AUG 23,07 AT APPROX 4:30 P.M., I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN IN SAN MATEO, CA. I STOPPED COMPLETELY, MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN, AND PROCEEDED SOUTH AT APPROX 10MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY THE RIGHT FRONT END OF MY 2003 HUMMER DROPPED ONTO THE GROUND, AND I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO STEERING, LITTLE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO TRAVEL TO THE RIGHT AND COLLIDED WITH A PARKED VEHICLE. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I COULD DO TO PREVENT THIS. I EXITED THE VEHICLE, A PEDESTRIAN APPROACHED ME, AND SAID HE NOTICED THE WHEEL WOBBLING AND SUDDENLY FLY OFF, TURN AROUND, MY VEHICLE DROP, SCREECH AND CONTINUE IN A FORWARD MOTION, AND THE WHEEL TURNED AROUND, CONTINUED MOVING, AND PARKED ITSELF IN A GREEN ZONE, INSIDE OUT, NEXT TO A CURB. I EXITED THE VEHICLE, SHOCKED AND CONFUSED, INSPECTED THE DAMAGED VEHICLE, INSPECTED THE AXLE ASSEMBLY AND WHEEL SITTING NEXT TO THE CURB, GOT MY WITNESS INFO, TOOK PICTURES AND NOTIFIED THE POLICE. I ALSO NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE (AAA). I ACQUIRED A RENTAL VEHICLE AND WAITED TO HEAR THE OUTCOME FROM MY INSURANCE CARRIER. THEY HAVE SINCE NOTIFIED ME THAT IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT I AM 100 PERCENT AT FAULT FOR THIS COLLISION AND PRINCIPALLY AT FAULT FOR A ROLLAWAY VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED GMC , WHO ARE ADMITTING NO LIABILITY, (GMC SAID A REP WILL RESPOND IN 30 TO 45 DAYS). I AM APPEALING AAA'S DETERMINATION THAT I AM AT FAULT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A STEERING KNUCKLE FAILURE (SAFETY), I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE, THERE WAS NO REASONABLE WAY TO CONTROL AN OUT OF CONTROL VEHICLE, AND IF AAA AND/OR GMC DO NOT WANT TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY I WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. AS OF THIS LETTER, 36 DAYS LATER, I AM IN A RENTAL VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED, NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN STARTED , AND EVEN IF THEY WERE, AT THIS POINT I DO NOT EVER WANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. IT IS TOTALLY UNSAFE. IN ALL MY YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED OR SO OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

2003 HUMMER H2 SPEEDOMETER IS NOT ACCURATE OR CONSISTENT. CURRENTLY THE GAUGE IS STUCK ABOVE THE MAX SPEED ON THE GAUGE. EARLIER TODAY THE SPEEDO WENT DOWN TO 35 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP THEN CLICKED OR SURGERED ITS WAY PAST 120MPH WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 70MPH. THIS IS MADDENING AND UNSAFE. *TR

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. I PULLED INTO MY OFFICE PARKING LOT ON THE MORNING OF 2-20-2006. THERE WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND. I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT, AND WITH A LITTLE THROTTLE, SPUN AROUND INTO MY PARKING PLACE. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT BY DOING THAT LITTLE MANEUVER, YOU CAN, AND I DID, SHEAR OFF THE SHAFT OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP. DISABLING THE POWER ASSIST TO THE STEERING AS WELL AS TO THE BRAKES! RENDERING THE TRUCK ALL BUT UNDRIVEABLE. THIS IS ALSO SITED IN A STORY BY WNBC ABOUT A LADY THAT LIVES IN THE POCONO'S WHO ENCOUNTERED THE SAME SITUATION IN HER H2 ONA SNOW COVERED ROAD. *JB

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 64 EAST MILE MARKER 261... DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN 03 HUMMER H2 AND WAS CUT OFF. MY SPEED WAS 70, THEIR SPEED WAS 55. SLAMMED ON BRAKES AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE AROUND PERSON THAT CUT ME OFF. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES WENT INTO A SKID (I THINK I LOST MY STEERING ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE, STILL SKID MARKS ON ROAD). HELD THE SKID FOR 600 FEET(?) AT WHICH POINT I LOST CONTROL. DROVE INTO DITCH AND ATTEMPTED TO DO A 180 AND BACK INTO THE WOODS BECAUSE I WAS GOING UP A HILL AND THE RAVINE ON EITHER SIDE WAS GETTING VERY DEEP AND THERE WAS A BRIDGE COMING UP. I FLIPPED ONCE BUT KNOCKED BOTH FRONT TIRES OFF. I DRIVE A LOT(150 MILES A DAY ON AVERAGE) AND HAVE NEVER HAD A WRECK. THIS WAS RIDICULOUS, I FEEL LIKE I CLEARLY LOST MY STEERING ON MY FRONT RIGHT(PASSENGER SIDE) AND THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE MORE I FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. WELL THE TRUCKS TOTALED SO NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT... ON THE UP HAND I WALKED AWAY FROM A PRETTY BAD ACCIDENT WITH ONLY ACHES A AND PAINS. *JB

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I BOUGHT A 2003 HUMMER H2 BRAND NEW. SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT HAD MANY PROBLEMS, BOTH ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL. THE STEERING IS VERY HARD AND THE BREAKING IS INEFFECTIVE AT TIMES. I SHOWED THEM A COPY OF THE BULLETIN ON THIS WEBSITE. THEY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEMS. THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES SEAT MEMORY PROBLEMS, MIRROR DON'T WORK..ETC. EVENTUALLY THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES FIXED. ROOF LEAKING WATER FROM THE READING LIGHT ON TWO OCCASIONS ONCE BECAUSE OF SUNROOF ISSUE AND THE SECOND TIME BECAUSE OF THE OUTSIDE ROOF LIGHT. NOW MOST RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE "CHECK ENGINE OIL" LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 5 TO 6 WEEKS AND WAY BEFORE AN OIL CHANGE IS DUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SO FAR. EVERYTIME THE ENGINE IS MISSING OIL. THE DEALER SAYS THAT HUMMER ALLOWS THE ENGINE TO BURN ONE QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY 100 GALS OF FUEL. I SAID WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN THAT LIGHT COMES ON. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID PULL OFF THE ROAD AND CHECK THE OIL. I SAID WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IF THE OIL IS LOW. HE SAID ADD OIL TO THE ENGINE. I SAID SO I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH A COUPLE OF QUARTS OF OIL IN THE BACK ALL THE TIME? THE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 5 TO 6 WEEKS. I SAID HOW MANY HUMMERS HAVE YOU SOLD? HE SAID MANY. I SAID HOW MANY YOU KNOW OF DO THAT? HE SAID NONE. I SAID IF NONE DO THAT, WHY DOES MINE DO IT? AND IF THIS NORMAL WHY NONE OF THE OTHERS DO IT? THE DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY LEAK OF OIL OR ANY BURNING OF OIL BY THE ENGINE!!!!!!! *NM
