2003 Hummer H2

WHEN I AM PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY, THE TWO FRONT DOORS WILL NOT STAY OPEN TO LET ME AND MY WIFE SAFELY ENTER AND EXIT. THE DOORS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HELD OPEN BY WHAT IS CALLED A DOOR CHECK. THESE TWO LEFT AND RIGHT DOOR CHECKS HAVE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN BECAUSE I ORDERED TWO NEW ONES, AND THE 2 DOORS WILL NOT STAY OPEN AS WE ARE ENTERING, AND EXITING THE HUMMER. THE DOORS QUICKLY CLOSE AND ALMOST BREAK OUR HIP , LEGS AND FEET. IT IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN BECAUSE THEY USED PLASTIC AND RUBBER TO MAKE FRICTION TOGETHER IN THE DOOR CHECK. IT WILL NOT HOLD OPEN THE HEAVY DOOR(S) ON THE HUMMER H2. THE HUMMER ONLY HAS 14,710 MILES ON IT. SO, I KNOW THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. NORMALLY, MY LAST GM CHEVROLET TRUCK USED DOOR CHECKS WITH STEEL ROLLER(S) THAT ROLLED AGAINST A STEEL SPRING(S). I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY ON YOUR WEBSITE TO UPLOAD A PHOTO OF THE DOOR CHECK WITH THE DEFECTIVE DESIGN.

WE PURCHASED THIS H2 IN DECEMBER 2014 AND BY FEB 2015 NOTICED A GRUMBLY SOUND IN THE BRAKES. WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THE TECH TOLD US THE WHOLE UNDERCARRIAGE WAS RUSTED AND ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED THRU AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. SINCE SOME OF THE LINES WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE, THEY HAD TO "CREATE" THEM. THIS WAS A COSTLY FIX AND WHO KNOWS WHAT THE SAFETY IMPACT COULD HAVE BEEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 45 MPH AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE COASTED UNTIL IT STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS USED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AS HAVING CORROSION ON THE BRAKE LINE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, THE FRAME WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. WHILE BARELY MOVING AT LESS THAN 1 MPH, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM DUE TO THE RUSTED BRAKE LINES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE HOSES AND CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,071. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000. UPDATED 05/25/10*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENTIRE UNDERCARRIAGE HAS RUSTED. UPDATED 05/28/10

WINDSHIELD WIPER INTERMITTENT. COMES ON WITHOUT SWITCH BEING ACTIVATED,WILL NOT GO OFF AT ALL. PULLED FUSE AT THE DEALERSHIP STILL WOULDN'T GO OFF. WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN THE RAIN, WIPERS WOULD NOT FUNCTION AT ALL, HOWEVER WIPER FLUID WAS RAPIDLY SPRAYING OUT AT FULL SPRAY AND CONTINUED TO SPRAY AFTER FLUID WAS ALL GONE. BAD VISIBILITY PROBLEMS. HAD TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF FREEWAY IN REDDING,CA AND CALL LOCAL HUMMER DEALER WHICH WAS 100 MILES AWAY. GENTLEMAN I SPOKE WITH SAID HE HAD HEARD OF THIS MANY TIMES. GOT IT FIXED,AND IT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE FRONT END PROBLEMS ,BRAKE PROBLEMS, FRAME IS SQUEAKING REALLY BAD AND DEALERSHIP CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. REAR PASSENGER WINDOW KEEPS FALLING DOWN. ALL IN ALL HUMMER ARE THE BIGGEST PILE OF JUNK ON THE ROAD. ILL NEVER GIVE MY MONEY TO GM AGAIN. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY SELL. NOW I CANT EVEN TRADE IT IN. THEY'LL SURE TAKE YOUR MONEY AND FINANCE YOU NO PROBLEM, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE PROBLEMS THEY TURN THE OTHER CHEEK AND ACT LIKE NOTHINGS WRONG OR ITS ALL YOUR FAULT. I HAVE A VERY STRICT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM FOR ALL MY VEHICLES,SO THEM SAYING THAT ITS MY FAULT,OR IF ITS INVOLVED IN A CRASH,INSURANCE COMPANIES WANT TO PLACE BLAME TOO. GOOD THING I HAVE RECORDS...LOTS OF RECORDS. I'VE ALSO HAD PROBLEM WITH SEAT RECALL. ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES I DROVE IT THE EASY OUT WAS ACTIVATED AND IT CRUSHED ME UP AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. I TURNED THAT OFF REALLY QUICK! *TR

I HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH LEAKING AND RATTLING COMING FROM THE SUNROOF AND NOW I CANNOT GET IT TO FUNCTION. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT ACTUALLY FLY OFF WHEN I AM RIDING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE HEARD VERY MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM FROM OTHER H2 OWNERS. I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT WORKING PROPERLY BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IT FLYING OFF AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES TO MY SELF OR OTHER PEOPLE IT MAY HIT. *TR

WHILE TURNING DOWN A CITY STREET THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL OF MY 2003 HUMMER 2 BROKE OFF FROM THE AXLE, AND THE VEHICLE DROPPED ONTO ITS BELLY ON THE LEFT FRONT SIDE. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED TO THEM. THEIR RESPONSE HAS BEEN "WHATEVER, TOO BAD" BUT THERE ARE ONLY 68,000 MILES ON IT AND THIS FAILURE HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THESE VEHICLES BEFORE. WHAT CONSTITUTES A SAFETY RECALL AND WHO GATHERS AND REPORTS THE DATA ? THANK YOU *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE WAS A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THE LEFT FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARM WAS LOOSE, AND WORE A HOLE THROUGH THE FRAME WHERE IT CONNECTED. ALSO, THE DEALER DETERMINED THE UPPER CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND ATTACHED WITH WASHERS TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE FRAME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

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

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
