HUMMER Complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, A CHILD IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE CHILD FELL OUT AND SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. THEY DETERMINED THIS WAS A DESIGN ISSUE DUE TO NO CHILD SAFETY LOCKS ON THE DOORS.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE MESSAGE CENTER READ, POWER REDUCED AND ASC FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 35 MPH DURING THE POWER FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT INCIDENT AND TOWED TO THE DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS. THE OTHER 2 OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER. IT WAS DETERMINED THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS FAILED; HOWEVER THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR DOORS DO NOT HAVE SAFETY LOCKS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO ANY GEAR THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY LOCK, BUT THE CHILDREN ARE STILL ABLE TO UNLOCK THE REAR DOORS. THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK FEATURE IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THIS MODEL, BUT IS AVAILABLE ON OTHER GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCTS.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER MOTOR FAILED. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED THE WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY, NOW SEVERAL MONTHS LATER THEY ONLY WORK A FEW SECONDS AT A TIME. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 02V283000, REGARDING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER/ WASHER: MOTOR. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

WINDSHIELD WIPER / WASHER FAILS DURING OPERATION, 2003 HUMMER H2, THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT HUMMER SAYS THAT RECALL DID NOT EFFECT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE AND IT IS A COINCIDENCE THAT I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE, YEAR, MODEL, AND MAKE WAS FOR. *NM

TRANSMISSION STICKS IN 3RD. GEAR. DISTRESSED ENGINE ON TAKE OFF. ONLY SWITCHES IN AND OUT OF 2ND AND 3RD GEAR MANUALLY. GM DENIES WARRANTY ON TRANS. STATES TRANS. MALFUNCTION DUE TO OVER STRESSING CAUSED BY AFTERMAKET SUPER CHARGER PURCHASED BY OWNER. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE MYSTERIOUSLY SUCKED UP A GARAGE BAG. THE BAG WRAPPED AROUND THE DRIVESHAFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH DETERMINED THE DRIVESHAFT NEEDED REPLACED.

THE POWER RETRACT MECHANISM IN BOTH OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER FAILURE, THE MIRRORS CAN BE BLOWN INWARD AT HIGH SPEEDS CAUSING UNEXPECTED VIEWING PROBLEMS WHEN USED DURING OPERATION.. THE MIRRORS CAN ALSO EXHIBIT HIGH VIBRATIONS WHICH MAKE THEM DIFFICULT TO USE DURING OPERATION. IT IS FELT THAT THESE PROBLEMS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO AN ACCIDENT. *NM

THE 2 BRAIDED STEEL HOOD SUPPORT STRAPS EXHIBIT PREMATURE CORROSION WITHIN THE RUBBER COVERS CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE WHICH MAY CAUSE AN INJURY DURING THE UNEXPECTED FAILURE WHEN THE HOOD IS OPENED BY USER. THE RUBBER COVERS HIDE THE CORROSION PROBLEM UNTIL FAILURE OCCURS. *NM

THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. I PULLED INTO MY OFFICE PARKING LOT ON THE MORNING OF 2-20-2006. THERE WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND. I TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT, AND WITH A LITTLE THROTTLE, SPUN AROUND INTO MY PARKING PLACE. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT BY DOING THAT LITTLE MANEUVER, YOU CAN, AND I DID, SHEAR OFF THE SHAFT OF THE POWER STEERING PUMP. DISABLING THE POWER ASSIST TO THE STEERING AS WELL AS TO THE BRAKES! RENDERING THE TRUCK ALL BUT UNDRIVEABLE. THIS IS ALSO SITED IN A STORY BY WNBC ABOUT A LADY THAT LIVES IN THE POCONO'S WHO ENCOUNTERED THE SAME SITUATION IN HER H2 ONA SNOW COVERED ROAD. *JB
