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.

FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM DUE TO COMPLETE EROSION OF BRAKE LINES. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH VERY COSTLY REPAIRS FOR A VEHICLE CONSUMERS BELIEVED TO BE "WELL-MADE". I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SUBSTANDARD DEFECTIVE PARTS AND ASSOCIATED REPAIRS HAVE NOT BEEN A DETERMINED AS A RECALL. BASED UPON THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE CONSUMERS THAT PAID FOR A "HIGH-END" VEHICLE WERE DUPED!!! *TR

I WENT TO CRANK UP MY HUMMER TO WARM IT UP DUE TO THE VERY COLD WEATHER ONCE I CRANKED THE HUMMER I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED A VERY STRONG BURNING ODOR. IT BEGIN TO SMOKE AND MY HUSBAND YELLED IT YOUR TRUCK AND I LOOKED AND SAW THE SMOKE GETTING WORSE AND THICKER. I UNHOOKED MY INFANT SON'S CAR SEAT BELT AND TOOK HIM OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I RAN TO THE BUILDING WE WERE LEAVING TO CALL 911 BECAUSE OF THE SMOKE WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH THE 911 DISPATCHER I SAW THE FIRE START INSIDE THE TRUCK ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD IT THEN IT IMMEDIATELY SPREAD AND BURNED THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK WHERE IT IS NOT RECOGNIZABLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND SPRAYED WATER ON IT TO PUT OUT THE FIRE THERE WERE BLUE AND RED SPARKS SHOOTING OUT OF THE TRUCK. THE SPARKS AND FIRE STARTED IN THE STEERING WHEEL AREA WHICH SHOWED THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT CAUSED THIS FIRE. I CHECKED OTHER RECALLS AND NOTICED THAT THE ISSUE I SPEAK OF WAS RECALLED INSIDE OF THE 2006 H2 HUMMERS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY INTERSTATE 70 IN MARYLAND AND WENT TO APPLY MY BRAKES . AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES , THE TRUCK PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT ,AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR . IF I WOULD NOT HAVE SWERVED ONTO THE MEDIAN , I WOULD HAVE RAN INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE . AFTER STOPPING , I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND ,AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION WAS COVERED IN BRAKE FLUID. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I NOTICED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED. GM STATES THAT YOUR VEHICLE CAN STILL STOP IF YOU LOSE ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES . IN MY SITUATION , I FOUND THIS TO BE A FALSE STATEMENT . THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ,AND I WAS VERY SURPRISED WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A CERTIFIED GM DEALERSHIP AND FOUND THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY OFFERED A VOUCHER FOR 1000 TOWARDS A NEW VEHICLE . I OWN A 1968 CAMARO THAT IS ALL ORIGINAL ,AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY RUST ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE LINES . HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE THAT A CAR 35 YEARS OLD DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM ? AND EVEN MORE CRAZY , THAT GM TURNS A BLIND EYE TO THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE . NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WILL NOT EVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT ! *TR
