HUMMER Complaints

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

THERE WAS A LEFT REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR THAT FAILED. THE SENSOR SENT DATA TO THE COMPUTER THAT THE WHEEL WAS SPINNING WHEN IT WASN'T. WITH NO WARNING, THE COMPUTER APPLIED THE BRAKES ABRUPTLY AND FIRMLY. WE WERE IN CITY TRAFFIC AND SPEED WAS SLOW. MY ONLY SAFETY CONCERN AT THIS TIME WAS THAT WE WOULD BE REAR-ENDED AS WE PROBABLY HAD NO BRAKE LIGHT OPERATION AS THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT USED. AFTER THIS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN 3-5 MINUTES, WE THEN GOT DASH ERROR CODES AND LIGHTS THAT THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS HAD FAILED. THE PROBLEM THEN WENT AWAY AS I ASSUME THE COMPUTER TURNED OFF THESE SYSTEMS SINCE THEY HAD FAILED. WE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN TOWING A SMALL U-HAUL TRAILER AND COULD ONLY IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS OCCURRED AT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH A TRAILER IN TOW, AND EVEN MORE SCARY IF THE ROAD WOULD ALSO HAVE BEEN WET. WHEN WE GOT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, THE WARNINGS HAD RESET, AND I ASSUME THE SYSTEMS WERE ACTIVE AGAIN. LUCKILY AN ERROR CODE WAS STORED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY AND THE SERVICE RECEIVED WAS SATISFACTORY, BUT I THINK THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN A SYSTEM THAT WOULD ALLOW THE COMPUTER TO APPLY THE BRAKES WITH NO WARNING AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON. AT THAT TIME, THERE IS NOTHING I AS A DRIVER COULD DO CONCERNING THE BRAKES. IT SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A REDUNDANT SYSTEM WHERE THERE MUST BE TWO FEEDBACKS THAT AGREE BEFORE THE SYSTEM APPLIES THE BRAKES, AND IF THE TWO FEEDBACKS DO NOT AGREE THEN THE SYSTEM IS DISABLED AND AN ERROR MESSAGE IS GIVEN. THIS CERTAINLY SEEMS TO ME TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY FLAW. THE BAD PART WAS FIXED, BUT I AM NOT SURE I TRUST THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS ONLY ONE FAILURE. NO DAMAGE WAS DONE. HOWEVER, UNDER DIFFERENT HIGHWAY CONDITIONS THE SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 H3 ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY WHEN MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OPENED UP THE LOCK ON THE REAR DOOR AND THEN PROCEEDED TO OPEN IT WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 65 MPH. THIS CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH CHILD SAFETY LOCKS. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS EXCEPT PUT MY CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT IN THE MIDDLE WHICH IS NOT SAFE BRING THAT SHE WEIGHS 32 POUNDS. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 SILVERADO AND A 2004 H2 HUMMER WHICH BOTH HAVE FAULTY SPEEDOMETERS. THEY ARE SOMETIMES CORRECT, SOMETIMES JUMPY AND MUCH OF THE TIME PEGGED. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE COULD BE A RECALL? IT'S QUITE DANGEROUS. *TR

PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES AND STEERING ON VEHICLE. IN SHOP FOR 3 MONTHS. PICKED UP FROM REPAIR AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE 1 MILE FROM DEALERSHIP WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. DEALER AND TECH CAME AND PICKED UP VEHICLE AND CAN NOT DETERMINE THE REASON. ONGOING PROBLEM FOR MANY MONTHS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE. DEALER HAS VEHICLE. *JB

I NEARLY HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME TODAY. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS TOO CLOSE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON MY 2006 HUMMER H3. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, MY SHOE HANGS UP ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND I HAVE TO TURN MY FOOT SIDEWAYS TO GET IT OUT FROM UNDER THE PEDAL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING PROBLEM THAT I AM AFRAID OF. I CAN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM MYSELF AS THE DESIGN IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *JB

2006 H 3 ; WHEN I GO LIGHT 4 WHEELING THE BACK OF THE DRIVER'S SEATS GET MUD ON THEM FROM THE REAR DOORS WITH ALL THE DOORS AND WINDOWS CLOSED!!!*AK

I OWN A 2006 HUMMER 3 AUTOMATIC TRANNY: THE DRIVER'S DOOR LOCKS AUTOMATICALLY, ALMOST EVERY TIME I GET OUT, AND NONE OF THE OTHERS DO; THIS IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING HE NOTICED THAT THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATED LOW PRESSURE IN THE TIRES. THE CONTACT CHECKED THE TIRES, AND NOTICED THAT ALL FOUR HAD LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE CORROSION IN THE ALLOY OF THE PASSENGER'S REAR WHEEL. THE DEALER DISMOUNTED THE TIRES AND THE CORROSION ADHERED TO THE BEAD OF THE TIRE ,AND 4 INCHES OF THE TIRE STUCK TO THE RIM OF THE TIRE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD PAY TO REPLACE THE TIRE, INCLUDING GRINDING OFF THE CORROSION ON ALL 4 WHEELS. THE CONTACT WANTED NHTSA TO BE AWARE OF THE SAFETY RISK INVOLVED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 21,000. *AK THE CONSUMER STATED DEALER INFORMED HIM TIRE STRIKING AN OBJECT, WHERE TIRED WAS BADLY CORRODED COULD CAUSE BLOW OUT. THE CONSUMER PROVIDED REPAIR INVOICE. UPDATED 05/23/07 *TR

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HUMMER H3 STATED THAT BETWEEN THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM FOR HIM TO NAVIGATE THE TWO PEDALS BECAUSE WHEN HE PUT HIS FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL IT CAUGHT THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT CAUSES HIM DIFFICULTY IN OPERATE THE VEHICLE PROPERLY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE BOTH 6,000 MILES.
