POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
GM 4L65-E OR 4L65E TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND FREQUENTLY THE 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LOSES FIRST AND FOURTH GEARS. WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFT FROM THIRD TO SECOND (THIS CAN BE DONE MANUALLY - ONLY 2ND AND 3RD WORK THOUGH) - FEELS LIKE IT WILL NOT COME OUT OF DRIVE AUTOMATICALLY WHEN SLOWING ALL THE WAY TO A STOP. IT HAS BEEN ACTING ERRATIC FROM NORMAL TO PROBLEMATIC - ERROR CODE INDICATES 'TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID LOCK UP' A YOUTUBE VIDEO MIGHT DESCRIBE IT HERE: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=5JEB0KPAN_G I COULD SEE WHERE IT VERY WELL COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN IT DECIDES IT WANTS TO. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 H2 HUMMER. I WAS ON A DEEP SLOPE HILL. I WAS BACKING UP AND I HIT A 500 SERIES MERCEDEZ ON HIS LEFT BUMPER FROM LEFT REAR BUMPER. IMMEDIATELY AFTER I HIT, I STARTED TO SHIFT THE GEAR SO THAT I COULD STOP THE CAR TO GET OUT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. AT THIS POINT, THE HUMMER STARTED TO TRAVEL AT VERY FAST SPEED DOWN THE STREET IN THE SAME PATTERN THAT I HAD ORIGINALLY DRIVEN UP. I TRIED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I TRIED TO STEER, STEERING WAS IN A LOCK POSITION. I HIT A PEDESTRIAN HARD AND MY CAR LANDED IN MY NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. WHEN I HIT THE HOUSE, THE 2 FRONT WHEELS BECAME DETACHED FROM THE CAR. THE PEDESTRIAN THAT I HIT HAS INCURRED MANY SERIOUS DAMAGES. I HAD 1 ENGINEERING COMPANY LOOK AT THE CAR BACK IN 2004 AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WHEN I LOOK NOW, I'VE HEARD OF MANY CASES WHERE SIMILAR INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO BRAKES. I AM CURRENTLY IN COURT FOR ANOTHER 1 WEEK AS THIS PEDESTRIAN IS NOW SUING ME. I PLEAD TO ALL H2 HUMMER OWNERS TO CONTRIBUTE ANY INFORMATION THAT THEY MAY HAVE ABOUT OTHER HUMMER OWNERS OR THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE. YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THIS MATTER IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HUMMER H2. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE HYDRAULIC SERVICE BRAKES BECAME STIFF AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

THE HUMMER MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 05V043000, 04V045000 AND 06E010000. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 61,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HUMMER H2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING STEADY RAINFALL, WATER SEEPS THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD HANDLE BAR ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. ON A PREVIOUS OCCASION, THE WATER SHORTED OUT THE IGNITION AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING FAILURE WITH THE MOTHERBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WATER ALSO ENTERS THROUGH THE REAR HEADLINER.

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
THE POWER RETRACT MECHANISM IN BOTH OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER FAILURE, THE MIRRORS CAN BE BLOWN INWARD AT HIGH SPEEDS CAUSING UNEXPECTED VIEWING PROBLEMS WHEN USED DURING OPERATION.. THE MIRRORS CAN ALSO EXHIBIT HIGH VIBRATIONS WHICH MAKE THEM DIFFICULT TO USE DURING OPERATION. IT IS FELT THAT THESE PROBLEMS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO AN ACCIDENT. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DT: 2004 GMC HUMMER THE CONSUMER STATES HE HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP AND THE BRAKES WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE CONSUMER TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM HIMSELF AND IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. HE FEELS IT WILL NOT STOP IN TIME DURING AN EMERGENCY. THE MANUFACTURER TOLD THE CONSUMER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THE BRAKES FAIL EVERY TIME THE CONSUMER NEEDS TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP. *NM

VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
(2)SAFETY EQUIPMENT DEFECT...POWER FOLDING MIRRORS ON 2004 H2 HUMMER FAIL TO REPOSITION PROPERLY AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE RELIABLY. CONSEQUENCES FROM THIS DEFECT MAY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES DUE TO UNEXPECTED CHANGE OF REAR VIEWING AREAS. (3)ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGE EVEN THOUGH MILEAGE HAS EXCEEDED WARRANTY LIMITS. UPON PRESENTING VEHICLE FOR REPAIR, I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR. PRESUMING THAT THE USABLE LIFE SPAN OF THESE FOLDING MIRRORS SHOULD BE WELL IN EXCESS OF THE OCCASIONAL OPERATION THAT THEY HAD, I REFUSED TO PAY AND LEFT. THE SALESMAN WHO SOLD ME THIS HUMMER LATER SAID HE HAS NO CONTROL OF HOW THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OPERATES AND THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT. ALSO, I WAS TOLD PREVIOUS TO MAKING MY APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE POWER FOLDING MIRRORS ON H2 HUMMERS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT (REAR VIEW MIRRORS). LEFT REAR DOOR FAILS TO LATCH DUE TO BINDING MECHANISM. THIS WAS ALSO REPORTED AND NOT REPAIRED DUE TO SAME CIRCUMSTANCES.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT
FRONT WHEEL LINKAGE FAILURE, WHEEL FELL OFF. MY BROTHER AND I NEARLY DIED TODAY FROM AN ACCIDENT IN MY MOTHERS H2. WE HAD JUST LEFT A FRIENDS HOUSE AND WERE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SEEMED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BROKE FREE. THE H2 VIOLENTLY SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND EVEN THOUGH I AM A BIG GUY IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THAT 6000 LBS BEAST FROM SWERVING. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT THOSE DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP SINCE THE BRAKES WERE STILL ATTACHED TO THE WHEEL WHICH I COULD SEE WAS BEHIND US FROM THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR. THE H2 TORE THROUGH THE OPPOSITE LANE AND SLAMMED US INTO A DITCH CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE. I CAN ONLY THANK GOD THAT WE WERE FINE AND THAT THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT THAT TIME. THE BRAKING OFF OF THE WHEEL CAUSED MAJOR WHEEL WELL AND FENDER DAMAGE. THE FORCE OF THE WHEEL SLAMMING INTO THE WELL SHATTERED THE WINDSHIELD AND BROKE THE SIDE STEP. I HAD DIFFICULTY OPENING THE DOOR TO GET OUT BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE. WHEN I GOT OUT I SAW THAT THE WHEEL WAS ABOUT 10 FEET BEHIND US. THERE WERE SEVERAL SUSPENSION PIECES STILL CONNECTED TO IT. THE POLICE OFFICER HAD A HARD TIME BELIEVING MY STORY, BUT THAT IS EXPECTED FROM THEM, THE REAL PAINFUL THING IS THAT MY MOTHER WONT BELIEVE ME EITHER. I HAVE READ OF SEVERAL CASES LIKE THIS. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY ACCIDENT, NOTHING IS WORSE THAN LOOSING ALL CONTROL OF A VEHICLE WITH A LOVED ONE INSIDE, KNOWING THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT PERSON. *AK
