SERVICE BRAKES
FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM DUE TO COMPLETE EROSION OF BRAKE LINES. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH VERY COSTLY REPAIRS FOR A VEHICLE CONSUMERS BELIEVED TO BE "WELL-MADE". I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SUBSTANDARD DEFECTIVE PARTS AND ASSOCIATED REPAIRS HAVE NOT BEEN A DETERMINED AS A RECALL. BASED UPON THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE CONSUMERS THAT PAID FOR A "HIGH-END" VEHICLE WERE DUPED!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, SEATS
I WENT TO CRANK UP MY HUMMER TO WARM IT UP DUE TO THE VERY COLD WEATHER ONCE I CRANKED THE HUMMER I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED A VERY STRONG BURNING ODOR. IT BEGIN TO SMOKE AND MY HUSBAND YELLED IT YOUR TRUCK AND I LOOKED AND SAW THE SMOKE GETTING WORSE AND THICKER. I UNHOOKED MY INFANT SON'S CAR SEAT BELT AND TOOK HIM OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I RAN TO THE BUILDING WE WERE LEAVING TO CALL 911 BECAUSE OF THE SMOKE WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH THE 911 DISPATCHER I SAW THE FIRE START INSIDE THE TRUCK ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD IT THEN IT IMMEDIATELY SPREAD AND BURNED THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK WHERE IT IS NOT RECOGNIZABLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND SPRAYED WATER ON IT TO PUT OUT THE FIRE THERE WERE BLUE AND RED SPARKS SHOOTING OUT OF THE TRUCK. THE SPARKS AND FIRE STARTED IN THE STEERING WHEEL AREA WHICH SHOWED THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT CAUSED THIS FIRE. I CHECKED OTHER RECALLS AND NOTICED THAT THE ISSUE I SPEAK OF WAS RECALLED INSIDE OF THE 2006 H2 HUMMERS. *TR

WE HAVE A 2003 HUMMER H2- THE RESISTOR FOR THE BLOWER MOTOR IS NO LONGER MADE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT CAN LIMIT VISIBILITY DUE TO FAILURE TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. WE HAVE CONTACTED GM WITH NO RESULTS. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT HAS THIS PARTICULAR PART. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE SINCE IT CAN LIMIT THE VISIBILITY AND CAN CAUSE A FATAL CRASH. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

ENGINE
MY VEHICLE'S WARRANTY WHICH I PURCHASED SEPARATELY HAD JUST EXPIRED BUT I STILL WENT BACK TO DEALER AS THE NOISE I HAD REPORTED TO THEM UNDER WARRANTY WAS NOW MORE APPARENT. TURNS OUT IT WAS DUE TO BROKEN OFF EXHAUST HEADER BOLTS.NOW I AM OUT OF WARRANTY, DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX. I HAVE 1 BROKEN ON DRIVERS SIDE AND 3 ON PASSENGER SIDE. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON SHOWING AN OXYGEN SENSOR FAILURE OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED !! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
STARTING IN OCTOBER 2013 MY SPEEDOMETER HAS NOT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED NO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU ARE GOING. IT IS EITHER STUCK AT 0 OR BOTTOMS OUT OVER 120. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM DRIVING UNLESS I USE MY PORTABLE GPS THAT SHOWS SPEED. IF IT WASN'T FOR MY GPS THEN I COULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT OR GET A TICKET BECAUSE I WOULD NOT KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AS I AM NOT THE ONLY HUMMER OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP. *TR

I GOT OUT OF MY H2 AND NOTICED A LARGE AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID RUNNING OUT FROM UNDER THE REAR END NEAR THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED IN TWO. I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND SAW THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I FEEL THAT THIS KEY PROBLEM FALLING OUT OF THE IGNITION, KEY WILL NOT TURN ON OR OFF MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND CAUSING IT NOT TO START. I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON A 2003 ISUZU ASCENDER. ALSO THE "DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER" HAS QUIT WORKING RIGHT WHICH CONTROLS A LOT OF THINGS ON THE VEHICLE. I THINK IT IS A DEFECTIVE SWITCH FROM GM WHO ALSO BUILT MY 2003 ISUZU. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY INTERSTATE 70 IN MARYLAND AND WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES . AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES , THE TRUCK PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT ,AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR . IF I WOULD NOT HAVE SWERVED ONTO THE MEDIAN , I WOULD HAVE RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE . AFTER STOPPING , I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND ,AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS COVERED IN BRAKE FLUID. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I NOTICED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED. GM STATES THAT YOUR VEHICLE CAN STILL STOP IF YOU LOSE ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES . IN MY SITUATION , I FOUND THIS TO BE A FALSE STATEMENT . THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ,AND I WAS VERY SURPRISED WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A CERTIFIED GM DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY OFFERED A VOUCHER FOR 1000 TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE . I OWN A 1968 CAMARO THAT IS ALL ORIGINAL ,AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY RUST ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LINES . HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE THAT A CAR 35 YEARS OLD DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM ? AND EVEN MORE CRAZY , THAT GM TURNS A BLIND EYE TO THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE . NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WILL NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT ! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE LINES RUSTED THROUGH AND FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING WHILE STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT. SINCE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WAS RUSTED, THERE WAS NO RESERVE BRAKING FROM THE DUAL SYSTEM. I WAS TRAVELING AT A MODERATE SPEED AND WAS ABLE TO RECOVER WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. I REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE LINES AT A COST OF $1100, NOT KNOWING THAT THIS WAS A COMMON DEFECT IN GM VEHICLES. I SAW TODAY IN THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT MANY OTHER GM VEHICLE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS APPARENT THAT GM ENGINEERS HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF GALVANIC CORROSION AND USED THE WRONG MATERIALS FOR CRITICAL COMPONENTS. *JS
