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

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
THE 2 BRAIDED STEEL HOOD SUPPORT STRAPS EXHIBIT PREMATURE CORROSION WITHIN THE RUBBER COVERS CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE WHICH MAY CAUSE AN INJURY DURING THE UNEXPECTED FAILURE WHEN THE HOOD IS OPENED BY USER. THE RUBBER COVERS HIDE THE CORROSION PROBLEM UNTIL FAILURE OCCURS. *NM

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:PUMP
THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. I PULLED INTO MY OFFICE PARKING LOT ON THE MORNING OF 2-20-2006. THERE WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND. I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT, AND WITH A LITTLE THROTTLE, SPUN AROUND INTO MY PARKING PLACE. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT BY DOING THAT LITTLE MANEUVER, YOU CAN, AND I DID, SHEAR OFF THE SHAFT OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP. DISABLING THE POWER ASSIST TO THE STEERING AS WELL AS TO THE BRAKES! RENDERING THE TRUCK ALL BUT UNDRIVEABLE. THIS IS ALSO SITED IN A STORY BY WNBC ABOUT A LADY THAT LIVES IN THE POCONO'S WHO ENCOUNTERED THE SAME SITUATION IN HER H2 ONA SNOW COVERED ROAD. *JB

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 64 EAST MILE MARKER 261... DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN 03 HUMMER H2 AND WAS CUT OFF. MY SPEED WAS 70, THEIR SPEED WAS 55. SLAMMED ON BRAKES AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE AROUND PERSON THAT CUT ME OFF. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES WENT INTO A SKID (I THINK I LOST MY STEERING ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE, STILL SKID MARKS ON ROAD). HELD THE SKID FOR 600 FEET(?) AT WHICH POINT I LOST CONTROL. DROVE INTO DITCH AND ATTEMPTED TO DO A 180 AND BACK INTO THE WOODS BECAUSE I WAS GOING UP A HILL AND THE RAVINE ON EITHER SIDE WAS GETTING VERY DEEP AND THERE WAS A BRIDGE COMING UP. I FLIPPED ONCE BUT KNOCKED BOTH FRONT TIRES OFF. I DRIVE A LOT(150 MILES A DAY ON AVERAGE) AND HAVE NEVER HAD A WRECK. THIS WAS RIDICULOUS, I FEEL LIKE I CLEARLY LOST MY STEERING ON MY FRONT RIGHT(PASSENGER SIDE) AND THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE MORE I FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. WELL THE TRUCKS TOTALED SO NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO FIX IT... ON THE UP HAND I WALKED AWAY FROM A PRETTY BAD ACCIDENT WITH ONLY ACHES A AND PAINS. *JB

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I BOUGHT A 2003 HUMMER H2 BRAND NEW. SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT HAD MANY PROBLEMS, BOTH ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL. THE STEERING IS VERY HARD AND THE BREAKING IS INEFFECTIVE AT TIMES. I SHOWED THEM A COPY OF THE BULLETIN ON THIS WEBSITE. THEY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEMS. THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES SEAT MEMORY PROBLEMS, MIRROR DON'T WORK..ETC. EVENTUALLY THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES FIXED. ROOF LEAKING WATER FROM THE READING LIGHT ON TWO OCCASIONS ONCE BECAUSE OF SUNROOF ISSUE AND THE SECOND TIME BECAUSE OF THE OUTSIDE ROOF LIGHT. NOW MOST RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE "CHECK ENGINE OIL" LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 5 TO 6 WEEKS AND WAY BEFORE AN OIL CHANGE IS DUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES SO FAR. EVERYTIME THE ENGINE IS MISSING OIL. THE DEALER SAYS THAT HUMMER ALLOWS THE ENGINE TO BURN ONE QUART OF OIL FOR EVERY 100 GALS OF FUEL. I SAID WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN THAT LIGHT COMES ON. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID PULL OFF THE ROAD AND CHECK THE OIL. I SAID WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IF THE OIL IS LOW. HE SAID ADD OIL TO THE ENGINE. I SAID SO I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH A COUPLE OF QUARTS OF OIL IN THE BACK ALL THE TIME? THE LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 5 TO 6 WEEKS. I SAID HOW MANY HUMMERS HAVE YOU SOLD? HE SAID MANY. I SAID HOW MANY YOU KNOW OF DO THAT? HE SAID NONE. I SAID IF NONE DO THAT, WHY DOES MINE DO IT? AND IF THIS NORMAL WHY NONE OF THE OTHERS DO IT? THE DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY LEAK OF OIL OR ANY BURNING OF OIL BY THE ENGINE!!!!!!! *NM

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. THE HOOD CABLE ON THE H2 WAS SURROUNDED BY A RUBBER SLEEVE FOR THE HOOD RELEASE. OVER A PERIOD OF TIME THE CABLE DETERIORATED AND IT CAUSED THE HOOD TO FALL, RESULTING IN INJURY TO THE CONTACT. WHEN THE HOOD WAS IN THE LOCK POSITION THE RUBBER HOSES AROUND THE SUPPORT CABLES HELD WATER IN THE PROCESS AND CAUSED THE CABLE TO RUST. THIS OCCURRED ON BOTH OF THE HOOD CABLES. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE CABLE, AND THEY DID NOT PUT THE RUBBER HOSE ON THE CABLE. THEY REPLACED IT WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE OF CABLE. THE CONTACT REPORTED THIS TO GM MANUFACTURER. THEY OFFERED HIM A $200 SETTLEMENT FOR HIS INJURY. THIS OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2004.*AK *JB

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
