SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DISC BRAKE ROTORS NOT MACHINED TO LEGAL SPECIFICATIONS. APPROXIMATELY 40% OF ROTORS FACE WERE STILL ROUGH CASTING, THIS CAUSED ROUGH BRAKING AND EARLY BRAKE PAD FAILURE. DEALER AND GM REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, CLAIMED THEY WERE OK. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT FOR THEIR LACK OF CONCERN. STATE INSPECTION REQUIRES 100% CLEAN UP OF MACHINED SURFACE ON ROTORS. *TR

VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR
MY 2004 HUMMER H2 VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE HAS A CONDITION IN WHICH WATER CAN ENTER THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MODULE. IF A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF WATER ENTERS THE MODULE, OVER TIME, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS MAY WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR THEY MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, DRIVER VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V456000 THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR BUT GM REFUSES TO ASSIST BECAUSE MY VIN # IS NOT ON THEIR RECALL LIST. WHICH MEANS THAT THERE ARE A LOT MORE HUMMERS THAT ARE ON THE ROAD WITH THIS CONDITION GETTING ABSOLUTELY NO HELP FROM GM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD & ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FRONT & BACK WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING OFF, AS WELL AS THE WIPER WASHER HAD TO PULL OVER & PULL THE FUSE. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. GOOGLED THE PROBLEM SEEN THAT ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM & THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE GETTING WATER IN IT & CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT. CONTACTED HUMMER THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR 03 & SINCE MINE WAS AN 04 IT WASN'T ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. WHICH I THOUGHT WAS BULL. THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSTIC @ A HUMMER DEALERSHIP & THEN RE CONTACT THEM. THERE IS NO WAY IM GOING TO GIVE THEM ANY MORE MONEY ESPECIALLY IF THEY WON'T TAKE CARE OF THERE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. NO MORE HUMMERS FOR ME! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I OWN A 2004 HUMMER H2. IT CURRENTLY HAS 50K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED SINCE I PURCHASED IT. RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING I NOTED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO BE INACCURATE. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, YET CARS WERE FLYING AROUND ME AND CUTTING ME OFF. I LOOKED AT MY SPEEDOMETER AGAIN AND IT READ "65" SO I CONTINUED ABOUT MY BUSINESS WHILE OTHER MOTORISTS WERE STILL PASSING ME BY AND CUTTING ME OFF. WHEN I GOT HOME AND PULLED THE H2 INTO THE GARAGE, I REALIZED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STILL READING "65" AND I WAS PARKED. I CONTACTED HUMMER AND GM WHO BOTH INFORMED ME IT IS THE STEPPER MOTOR AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY ALSO STATED THAT IT IS A PROBLEM IN 2003-2004 GM PRODUCTS AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL BUT NOT FOR THE HUMMER. I ASKED WHY ALL THE OTHER GM PRODUCTS WERE COVERED AND NOT MINE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY JUST DON'T FIX ENOUGH OF THEM SO THERE IS NO RECALL. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN THAT THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ITEM AND THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. GM OBVIOUSLY FELT IT WAS ENOUGH OF A CONCERN TO RECALL ITS OTHER GMC SUV'S THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT HUMMER TOLD ME THAT HE FIXES ABOUT ONE A WEEK AT THE COST OF $500-$700.00. IF THAT MANY HUMMERS ARE BEING REPAIRED, WHY THE PREJUDICE AGAINST THIS GM PRODUCT FOR THE RECALL. I GUESS THEY FIGURE IF YOU OWN A HUMMER, THEN YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT TO GET REPAIRED. I BEG TO DIFFER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND IN DOING MY RESEARCH ON OTHER HUMMER H2'S FROM 2003-2004, IT IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE STEEPER MOTOR. THE SERVICE MANAGER ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED TO ME THAT I CAN "STILL DRIVE IT". I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND DRIVING IT UNDER THESE CONDITIONS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, NOR IS RISKING OUR LIVES, BUT THEN AGAIN, I AM CERTAIN IF SOMEONE DIED AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM, GM WOULD ADDRESS IT AND RECALL THE DEFECT. THE GM PRODUCT LINE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED USES THE SAME EXACT PART THAT THE HUMMER H2 DOES SO WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED! *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
