ON AUG 23,07 AT APPROX 4:30 P.M., I PULLED UP TO A STOP SIGN IN SAN MATEO, CA. I STOPPED COMPLETELY, MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN, AND PROCEEDED SOUTH AT APPROX 10MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY THE RIGHT FRONT END OF MY 2003 HUMMER DROPPED ONTO THE GROUND, AND I COMPLETELY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO STEERING, LITTLE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO TRAVEL TO THE RIGHT AND COLLIDED WITH A PARKED VEHICLE. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I COULD DO TO PREVENT THIS. I EXITED THE VEHICLE, A PEDESTRIAN APPROACHED ME, AND SAID HE NOTICED THE WHEEL WOBBLING AND SUDDENLY FLY OFF, TURN AROUND, MY VEHICLE DROP, SCREECH AND CONTINUE IN A FORWARD MOTION, AND THE WHEEL TURNED AROUND, CONTINUED MOVING, AND PARKED ITSELF IN A GREEN ZONE, INSIDE OUT, NEXT TO A CURB. I EXITED THE VEHICLE, SHOCKED AND CONFUSED, INSPECTED THE DAMAGED VEHICLE, INSPECTED THE AXLE ASSEMBLY AND WHEEL SITTING NEXT TO THE CURB, GOT MY WITNESS INFO, TOOK PICTURES AND NOTIFIED THE POLICE. I ALSO NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE (AAA). I ACQUIRED A RENTAL VEHICLE AND WAITED TO HEAR THE OUTCOME FROM MY INSURANCE CARRIER. THEY HAVE SINCE NOTIFIED ME THAT IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT I AM 100 PERCENT AT FAULT FOR THIS COLLISION AND PRINCIPALLY AT FAULT FOR A ROLLAWAY VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED GMC , WHO ARE ADMITTING NO LIABILITY, (GMC SAID A REP WILL RESPOND IN 30 TO 45 DAYS). I AM APPEALING AAA'S DETERMINATION THAT I AM AT FAULT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS IS A STEERING KNUCKLE FAILURE (SAFETY), I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE, THERE WAS NO REASONABLE WAY TO CONTROL AN OUT OF CONTROL VEHICLE, AND IF AAA AND/OR GMC DO NOT WANT TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY I WILL BE FORCED TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. AS OF THIS LETTER, 36 DAYS LATER, I AM IN A RENTAL VEHICLE, MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TOUCHED, NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN STARTED , AND EVEN IF THEY WERE, AT THIS POINT I DO NOT EVER WANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AGAIN. IT IS TOTALLY UNSAFE. IN ALL MY YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED OR SO OUT OF CONTROL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE FELL OFF AND THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HER RESIDENCE. THE INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR STATED THAT THE STEERING KNUCKLE FAILED AT THE BALL JOINT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 56,000.

RETRACTABLE EXTERIOR MIRRORS DO NOT WORK. REPLACED LEFT SIDE ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO. NOW RIGHT SIDE NO LONGER WORKS. DEALER SAYS NO LONGER CAN REPLACE JUST ONE....HAVE TO ORDER 2 OF NEW STYLE, FOR A TOTAL REPAIR IN EXCESS OF $1,000. *TR

2003 HUMMER H2 SPEEDOMETER IS NOT ACCURATE OR CONSISTENT. CURRENTLY THE GAUGE IS STUCK ABOVE THE MAX SPEED ON THE GAUGE. EARLIER TODAY THE SPEEDO WENT DOWN TO 35 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP THEN CLICKED OR SURGERED ITS WAY PAST 120MPH WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 70MPH. THIS IS MADDENING AND UNSAFE. *TR

SPEEDOMETER READING TOO FAST ALL THE TIME, DEALER DIAGNOSED AS BAD SPEEDO STEPPER MOTOR. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR $700.00. RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS OF SAME PROBLEM. SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE RESOLVED WITH MANUFACTURE RECALL. *NM

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.

DEALERSHIP MOVED WITHOUT NOTICE, NO DEALER FOR AN HOUR. TIRE EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING WHEEL SEPERATED FROM VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE CAR WAS IN OPERATION UNDER HEAVY RAIN AT ALL SPEED SETTINGS. I GOT RID OF THE VEHICLE AS IT SCARED ME WHEN THE INCIDENT HAD OCCURRED WITH MY CHILDREN WITH ME. DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE WIPERS.*NM
