THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THE 5YRS I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS DURING A RAIN STORM IN FLORIDA. WE HAVE REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE THE WIPER CONTROL MODULE. THIS TIME BEING THE SHORTEST SPAN OF ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE IT GETS DAMP AND MALFUNCTIONS. WIPERS EITHER WORK INTERMITTENT OR NOT AT ALL AND THIS HAMPERS VISIBILITY AND CAN CAUSE A WRECK. I HAVE NOTICED THAT GM HAD A RECALL FOR 2003 BUT NOT FOR OTHER YEARS. I ALSO AM A MEMBER OF THE HUMMER FORUM AND CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS COMMON AMONGST ALL YEARS. *TR

DRIVING HOME I BEGAN TO SMELL AND ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. IT BEGAN VERY QUICKLY AND CAME AND WENT FOR ABOUT 2 MILES. I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED AND COULD NOT SEE SMOKE OR FIRE SO I CONTINUED HOME. I DROVE THE REMAINING 4 MILES TO MY HOME AND IMMEDIATELY GOT MY HUSBAND TO CHECK AS THE CAB HAD FILLED WITH THE SMELL OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. HE LOCATED THE AREA THE SMELL WAS STRONGEST AND THEN WATCHED AS SMOKE CAME OUT. HE UNBOLTED THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID TANK AND THE MOTOR ON BOTTOM HAD ACTUALLY BURNED, MELTED AND WAS ON THE VERGE OF CAUSING SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE. THE WIPERS WERE NOT BEING USED AND HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A HEATER FOR THE FLUID. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER IN MY VEHICLE GET STUCK AT ANY SPEED. BOTH METERS EITHER MAX OUT OR DROP TO ZERO AT NUMEROUS SPEEDS. AT SLOW SPEEDS THIS PROBLEMS IS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE, BUT AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH THE PROBLEM CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHEN PULLING A TRAILER ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER HAS DROPPED TO ZERO. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION AN INABILITY TO DETERMINE REQUIRED SPEEDS ON DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE HIGHWAY. A PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS ONE SHOULD ONLY OCCUR IN A VEHICLE 25 OR 30 YEARS OLD AND NOT 6 YRS OLD. IT'S CLEAR THAT THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND AN ALERT SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR FACTORY REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU *TR

TRANSMISSION COOLER DEFECT ALLOWS GLYCOL TO ENTER TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT CONDITION OCCURS FILLING THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH A TOXIC GAS. HOT TRANSMISSIONS CAN ALSO CATCH ON FIRE. THIS IS A KNOWN CONDITION; GM ISSUED AN ALERT TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS BUT NO RECALL HAS OCCURRED. *TR

MY TACHOMETER WAS STARTING TO STICK AND NOT IT DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. NOW MY SPEEDOMETER IS STARTING TO STICK. THE CONSEQUENCES OF NO SPEEDOMETER ARE TICKETS, ACCIDENTS FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO GO SAFE SPEEDS IN VARIOUS CONDITIONS. *TR

WINDSHIELD WASHER MOTOR RUNS, CAN NOT CONTROL, HAD TO REMOVE FUSE TO STOP MOTOR. *TR
