POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
SINCE AUGUST OF 2009, HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE "DIED IN FLIGHT" IN AUGUST, VEHICLE COUGHS, STUTTERS, AND STALLS OUT EVERY DAY AT FIRST START-UP, AND I'M EXPERIENCING HARSH SHIFTING DAILY. I'M ADVISED THERE IS NO RESOLUTION TO THE DAILY STALL-OUT PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOUR TIMES SINCE 8/6/09. ON LAST VISIT TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS ADVISED THAT "GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT HAS NO FIX FOR IT" (CASE #11074714). *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

STEERING
STEERING IS VERY SLOPPY AND VAGUE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THERE IS TOO MUCH NON ACTIVE MOVEMENT TO CORRECT DIRECTION. I HAVE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT LEAST 6 INCHES CONSTANTLY TO EVEN KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT. I HEAR GM HAS WEAK PITMAN ARMS ETC.. ALSO THE STEERING JUDDERS AND VIBRATES AND SOMETIMES IT GETS STUCK AND GOES WHEN COLDER USUALLY. SOMETIMES BRAKES ARE STRONG, SOMETIMES THEY ARE WOODEN AND LACK GRIP ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. I KEEP MUCH DISTANCE TO THE OTHER CARS SO I DID NOT CRASH. BUT I GET A SCARED SENSATION WHEN CONTROLS DON'T WORK CORRECTLY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SEATS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I PURCHASED A 2006 HUMMER H2 AT CERRITOS HUMMER. I CURRENTLY HAVE ALMOST 55,000 MILES. TODAY I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND NOTICED THE STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. ALSO THE BRAKES WERE REALLY WEAK. I USED ALL THE ENERGY I HAD TO GET INTO A GAS STATION DRIVEWAY. I DROVE ABOUT 1 BLOCK BECAUSE I NEEDED GAS WHERE I NOTICED OIL DROPPING UNDER THE CAR. I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND THE OIL WAS COMING OUT NEAR THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I OPENED THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND SAW THAT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE OIL BECAUSE IT HAD DROPPED UNDER MY CAR. MY STEERING IS TOO HARD TO TURN AND THE BRAKES ARE ALMOST NON EXISTENT PULLING INTO THE GAS STATION. I CALLED CERRITOS HUMMER AND TALKED TO THEIR SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID I WAS PAST WARRANTY. I TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT HE SAID NO AND GOT VERY LOUD AND MEAN TO ME. I TOLD HIM HE DID NOT HAVE TO GET MEAN BECAUSE HE CAN ONLY DO WHAT THE COMPUTERS AND PROTOCOL SUGGESTS, BUT HE DID NOT DO ENOUGH RESEARCH PRIOR TO REJECTING ANY RECALLS. HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TOW MY CAR THERE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO INSPECT AND THE CHARGES COULD BE HIGH DEPENDING ON THE PROBLEM. I SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BUT HE REJECTED IT AGAIN IN A STRONG TONE. I DID NOT WANT TO ARGUE IN CASE THEY HAVE TO REPAIR MY CAR. I THINK THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUE BECAUSE A WEAK PERSON WOULD NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO PULL INTO THE PARKING LOT AS I DID. I PULLED VARIOUS MUSCLES IN MY ARMS AND SHOULDERS STEERING THE CAR INTO THE GAS STATION. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER CAR AND I DON'T THINK I CAN PAY THE COST TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES TO CERRITOS HUMMER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY ANY TOW CHARGES NOR INSPECTION COSTS NOR COSTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I SPEND WAY TOO MUCH MONEY AT THEIR DEALERSHIP TO BE TREATED THIS WAY. I AM USUALLY AN EASY GOING GUY, BUT THE TREATMENT HE GAVE ME REALLY ANGERED ME. MY BACK ARMS AND SHOULDERS HURT BECAUSE THE STEERING WAS SO HARD. *TR

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

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

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

I OWN A 2004 HUMMER2 AND THE WIPER MOTOR MODULE STARTED TO SMOKE. AT FIRST MY WIPERS WOULD RUN WITHOUT ME EVEN TURNING THEM ON THEN THEY WOULDN"T WORK AT ALL. THEN ON FEB. 19TH,2004 AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD , THE WIPER MOTOR STARTED TO SMOKE. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAIN STREET TO STOP AND PULL THE FUSE. AFTER TALKING TO A HUMMER DEALERSHIP I FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PART, BUT ONLY IN THE 2003 MODEL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MOISTURE GETS INTO THE WIPER MOTOR AND BURNS UP THE CIRCUIT BOARD AND CAUSES IT TO SMOKE AND THEN THE WIPERS WON"T WORK AT ALL. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BUY THE NEW PART AND THE PART GUY NEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS. I DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING. I STILL HAVE THE OLD PART. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MORE SERIOUS!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE WASHER MOTOR WENT ON AND JUST KEPT RUNNING. IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE FUSES. AFTER SEARCHING I FOUND OUT THERE WAS AN INITIAL RECALL IN 2003 ON A FEW THOUSAND 2003 H2 WASHER/WIPER MOTORS WHICH APPARENTLY MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. NOW I SEE A MORE RECENT RECALL NHTSA 08V456000 STATING 13,000 VEHICLES INCLUDED AND MY DEALER STILL SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. I SEE ON MANY FORUMS CUSTOMERS STATING THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND DEALERS SAYING THEIR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. SOME SAY THEIR MOTORS CAUSED FIRES IN THEIR ENGINES AND NOW IM CONCERNED WITH DRIVING. *TR
