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

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
I BOUGHT A HUMMER H2 IN APRIL 2004. I WENT OFF ROAD THE NEXT WEEKEND AND WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR UP A MOUNTAIN AND LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. WE FOUND OUT THE TIE ROD BROKE. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I WENT TO ABRITRATION AND WON MY CASE. THIS LAST WEEKEND I WAS CLIMBING A HILL LESS THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR AND THE SAME TIE ROD BROKE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THAT WHEEL. I TALKED TO A SALES MAN AT THE HUMMER DEALER I BOUGHT MY TRUCK FROM AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE BROKE A TIE ROD AT ONE OF THE HUMMER TEST CENTERS. WHEN I PICKED MY TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME MY TIE ROD BROKE I SAW ANOTHER HUMMER H2 BEING BROUGHT IN FOR A BROKEN TIE ROD. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE REPAIR TECH AND HE TOLD ME HE COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW SMALL THE TIE RODS ARE. I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO TELL YOU THESE STORIES. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO SEE PEOPLE DIE FROM THIS DEFECTIVE TIE ROD. I KNOW GM DOES NOT WANT TO RECALL THIS PART BUT IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. THANKS FOR YOU HELP, ANTHONY OREFICE 661 510-6523 CELL. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT, POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY
LIFTED VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO HAVE A LEAKING UPPER DRIVER'S SIDE CV BOOT REPLACED. WHEN THE AXLE WAS REMOVED, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE AXLE HAD BEEN DESTOYED AND THE PIECES PUNCTURED THE CV BOOT INTERNALLY CAUSING THE LEAK. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IN A LITTLE OVER 600 MILES THAT THIS BOOT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THE CV BOOT WAS LAST REPLACED, THERE WAS NO NOTICABLE DAMAGE TO THE AXLE. WAS INFORMED BY A GM TECH TODAY THAT THE DAMAGE MAY HAVE OCCURED WHEN THE AXLE WAS REINSTALLED. NOW I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE GM FACTORY REP HAS DENIED WARRANTY COVERAGE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN LIFTED AND DEALERSHIP ATTRIBUTES THE DAMAGE TO THE LIFT AND THE ANGLE OF THE AXLES. VEHICLE IS NOT USED OFF-ROAD AND 4X4 OPTION IS NOT USED. OTHER H2'S ON WWW.H2SOURCE.COM HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT THIS WAS DUE TO OFF-ROAD USAGE. *MR
