  STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR, VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY

  ANY TIME IT RAINS THE VEHICLE FILLS UP WITH WATER. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE SUN ROOF, THE GASKET IN THE DRIVERS DOOR, AND THE CARGO HATCH. THE ELECTRIC DRIVERS SEAT MOVES UP AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BE CRUSHED AGAINST THE DASH BOARD. THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE HOOD IS TOO HEAVY AND THAT THERE IS NO SUPPORT BAR TO HOLD IT UP. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES SINCE THE CONSUMER PURCHASED IT. *MR

  VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER

  I OWN A 2003 HUMMER H2. THIS IS THE SECOND WINTER WITH THIS CAR AND THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED EVERYTIME I DRIVE IN SNOW. I CLEANED THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD INCLUDING SNOW AND ICE UNDER THE WIPERS, I WARM UP THE CAR PROPERLY, I TURN THE DEFROST ON (LAST NIGHT IT WAS SET AT 80 DEGREES)/ WITHIN A FEW MILES THE WIPERS ARE INEFFECTIVE BECAUSE A LAYER OF ICE AND SNOW HAS ACCUMULATED BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE WIPER BLADES. VISIBILITY---ZERO. *LA

  SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM

  MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL, INNER BACKING AND AXLE CAME OFF. THE LOWER FLANGE BROKE AWAY FROM THE LOWER A-ARM. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED ROAD NEAR MY HOUSE. THE A-ARM HIT THE GROUND AND SPUN THE H2 OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A TREE. THE RIGHT WHEEL'S BRAKE BACKING PLATE AND AXLE CAME OFF ALL IN ONE PIECE. EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE FLANGE, THE REMAINDER OF EACH FRONT WHEEL IS HELD IN PLACE BY ONLY BALL JOINTS. THE UPPER FLANGE IS ATTACHED TO A BALL JOINT. THE LOWER FLANGE IS A MAJOR STRUCTURAL COMPONENT OF THE FRONT END. THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO ANY OF THE PARTS OF THE RIGHT WHEEL ASSEMBLY OR AXLE EVEN AFTER I WAS THROWN OFF THE ROAD. OBVIOUSLY THE BRAKE LINE AND ABS CIRCUIT WAS SEVERED IMMEDIATELY. I HAD NO BRAKES AND LITTLE OTHER CONTROL. AFTER THE H2 HIT THE TREE, IT CAME TO A STOP. THE BOTTOM OF THE TREE STAYED STATIONARY, BUT THE TOP OF THE TREE BROKE OFF AND CAME DOWN (HARD) ON THE RIGHT WINDSHIELD POST, BENDING THE POST AND SHATTERING THE WINDSHIELD. WITH NO FRONT WHEEL, THE H2 DOES NOT HAVE ANY MOBILITY EXCEPT FOR SKIDDING AND SLIDING. THIS IS THE THIRD CASE OF THIS SAME TYPE OF DEFECT REPORTED TO THE WEBSITE "[email protected]" IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I REPORT IT TO YOU. THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN THE SACRAMENTO BEE ABOUT THIS TYPE OF DEFECT. PLEASE SEE "HTTP://WWW.SACBEE.COM/CONTENT/BUSINESS/AUTO/STORY/5721689P-6694625C.HTML" *LA

  EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS

  I AM A RETIRED U.S ARMY TRANSPORATION OFFICER, WITH A DEGREE IN TRANSPORTATION FROM INDIANA UNIVERSITY. I'M ALSO A CURRENT AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SPECIALIST IN RENO NEVADA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (AT LEAST 5) DURING THE PAST 2 MONTHS I HAVE FOLLOWED A POV IN THE HOURS OF DARKNESS WITHOUT ANY TAILIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON, BUT THE DRIVER WAS UNAWARE OF THE FACT THAT THEIR COMPLETE LIGHTING SYSTEM WAS NOT ON. THE REASON FOR THIS OVERSIGHT WAS THE FACT THAT THE AUTOMATIC DAYTIME HEADLIGHTS WERE ON, AND THE DRIVER THOUGHT THEY HAD FULL VEHICLE LIGHTING. I ADDITIONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN I PURCHASED MY NEW CAR IN MID DECEMBER, WHEN ONCE AT NIGHT I BEGAN TO DRIVE WITH MY HEADLIGHTS ON, BUT LUCKILY SOON NOTED THAT THE REST OF MY LIGHTING WAS NOT ACTIVATED. THE POINT OF THIS ADVISORY TO YOU IS THAT I BELIEVE THAT MANY TERRIBLE REAR END TYPE ACCIDENTS LIE AHEAD OR MAY HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED, DUE TO THIS POSSIBLE OVERSIGHT OF DRIVERS, AND IT IS NOT REALLY OF THEIR OWN FAULT. SOLUTION IS TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BY ADVISING ALL AUTO MAKERS TO HAVE A LIGHT SENSOR INSTALLED THAT WILL NOT ALLOW THE DAYLIGHT HEADLIGHTS TO AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATE PAST DUSK. ADDITIONALLY SEND OUT A NATION WIDE AWARENESS NOTICE TO ALL DRIVERS TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITH DAYLIGHT SAFETY HEADLIGHTS.
