2003 HUMMER H2 Complaints

I OWN A 2003 HUMMER H2, THAT HAS THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE WIPERS AS THAT OF THE RECALL. I AM BEING TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT FALL INTO THE EFFECTED UNITS AND THAT I AM OUT OF LUCK. MY SYSTEM ALSO RELEASES THE WIPER FLUID NON STOP. *TR

I WAS TAKING A TURN ON AN ON RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE AND MY WHEEL FELL OFF. I DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHY BUT MY TIRE CAME OFF THE VEHICLE. *TR

ON APRIL 22, 2008 MY SON WAS DRIVING MY H2 AND WAS TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO CHANGE LANES QUICKLY DUE TO A CAR MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF HIM. WHEN HE TURNED THE STEERING TO THE LEFT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL FELL OFF AND CAUSED HIM TO SLIDE INTO THE CAR MAKING THE RIGHT TURN. I AM THANKFUL IT HAPPENED WHEN HE WAS CHANGING LANES GOING ONLY 10-15 MILES PER HOUR INSTEAD OF IT HAPPENING WHILE CHANGING LANES ON THE FREEWAY DOING 65 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. WE WROTE TO GMC AS WELL AS OUR WARRANTY PEOPLE AND MY INSURANCE, MERCURY, AND THEY ALL SAID IT WAS NOT A MALFUNCTION IN WAS MY SONS FAULT. WE HAD TO PAY OUT OVER $1800 IN RENTAL CAR FEES AND THEN WHEN WE FOUND OUT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY AND CLAIM IT ON OUR INSURANCE WE DID WITHOUT A CAR FOR OVER 3 MONTHS WHILE THE H2 WAS BEING REPAIRED. WE WERE OUT $2573 IN REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE KNUCKLE AND OTHER STEERING PARTS VIA MARVIN K. BROWN AUTO CENTER. WE FINALLY GOT IT BACK AND NOW ONLY A YEAR LATER IT IS SHOWING SIGNS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING AGAIN. IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN WHEN IT WANTS TO HAVE POWER STEERING OR NOT, IT ALSO TURNS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. I AM VERY AFRAID THAT I OR SOMEONE ELSE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THESE ECONOMIC TIMES I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. THE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE GAS CAP. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIR, SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GAS STATION AND NOTICED THAT FUEL WAS SPEWING OUT. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE GAS ELBOW AND TANK WERE CRACKED. THE REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE ELBOW AND GAS TANK WITH A STRONGER METAL AT THE COST OF $1,700. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY; THEREFORE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A CALL FROM GMC TO CONDUCT A SURVEY. GMC WANTED TO KNOW IF SHE WOULD PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

WIPER COVER RECALL NOTICE 08243. TOOK VEHICLE IN, WIPERS HAD ALREADY STOPPED WORKING. TOLD CREST CADILLAC THIS WHEN I CALLED. THEY REPLACED THE COVER ON A MOTOR THAT WAS BROKEN ALREADY. WOULD NOT REPLACE THE MOTOR. NOTE ON INSPECTION REPORT SAID WIPER MOTOR ASSEMBLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CALLED GM SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TO RECALL WAS FOR MOTOR COVER AND NOT MOTOR. I WOULD SAY, YES BUT BECAUSE THE COVER IS DEFECTIVE AND ALLOWED WATER IN THE MOTOR ASSEMBLY IT HAS STOPPED WORKING. WOULD NOT REPLACE OR COVER CHARGES. WENT TO SEE MANAGER OR REPAIR SHOP, HE SAID HE COULD NOT REPLACE MOTOR WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION OR HE WOULD NOT GET REIMBURSED FOR CHARGES. FILLED COMPLAIN WITH BBB. GOT CALL FROM GM WITHIN 3 DAYS, AFTER ANSWERING HER QUESTIONS SHE TOLD ME THEY COULD WOULD NOT REPLACE THE MOTOR AT THIS TIME. CALLED MANAGER OF CREST CADILLAC AND GAVE HER INFO. SHE SAID SHE WOULD CALL ME BACK. I NEVER HEARD FROM HER. DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. WHEN THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THEY MADE A LOUD REVVING NOISE AS IF THE MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V283000 (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR); HOWEVER, THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL OPEN RECALL FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COVER (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 08V456000: (VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR)). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE REPAIRS HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED. THE DEALER WANTED TO CHARGE FOR THE REPAIRS AND STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT YET PAID FOR THE SERVICES, WHICH IS WHY IT WAS SHOWN AS AN OPEN RECALL. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 60,700.

NHTSA NUMBER 08V456000 ACTION #PE08042 MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME I HAVE THE EXACT SAME WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER PROBLEM AS LISTED IN THE RECALL HOWEVER, HUMMER AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM WON'T REPAIR IT. BECAUSE MY 2003 H-2 HUMMER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLVINS. LOCAL HUMMER DEALER WILL REPAIR IT BUT NEEDS APPROVAL IF IT IS TO BE REPAIRED. WHY MY H2 VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IS A MYSTERY TO ME...BUT THE PROBLEM AS REFERENCED STILL EXISTS AS A SAFETY DEFECT. I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE ON THIS TO MOVE FORWARD AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

NEED TO REPLACE BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR MODULE. IT QUIT WORKING AND WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REPLACE PART SINCE SEPT 2008. GM INFORMED ME THEY DO NOT CURRENTLY MAKE THIS PART. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO ICE/FROST AND OR CONDENSATION FORMING ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDOWS DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER HERE. IT MAKES VISIBILITY SLIM TO NONE. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD TAKE AT LEAST A MONTH TO FIND SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS PART...THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO. JUST SINCE SEPT 2008 THERE ARE ALMOST 500 PEOPLE HUNTING THIS SAME PART, WE ARE #8 ON THE LIST. I FEEL DUE TO THE HIGH VOLUME IT SHOULD BE HANDLED AS A RECALL...REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE AS WELL AS FREE LABOR, AND A RENTAL CAR PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE UNTIL GM/HUMMER CAN FIX MY VEHICLE SO I CAN HAVE THE USE OF IT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE WASHER MOTOR WENT ON AND JUST KEPT RUNNING. IT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THE FUSES. AFTER SEARCHING I FOUND OUT THERE WAS AN INITIAL RECALL IN 2003 ON A FEW THOUSAND 2003 H2 WASHER/WIPER MOTORS WHICH APPARENTLY MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. NOW I SEE A MORE RECENT RECALL NHTSA 08V456000 STATING 13,000 VEHICLES INCLUDED AND MY DEALER STILL SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL. I SEE ON MANY FORUMS CUSTOMERS STATING THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND DEALERS SAYING THEIR VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. SOME SAY THEIR MOTORS CAUSED FIRES IN THEIR ENGINES AND NOW IM CONCERNED WITH DRIVING. *TR
