(2)SAFETY EQUIPMENT DEFECT...POWER FOLDING MIRRORS ON 2004 H2 HUMMER FAIL TO REPOSITION PROPERLY AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE RELIABLY. CONSEQUENCES FROM THIS DEFECT MAY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES DUE TO UNEXPECTED CHANGE OF REAR VIEWING AREAS. (3)ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGE EVEN THOUGH MILEAGE HAS EXCEEDED WARRANTY LIMITS. UPON PRESENTING VEHICLE FOR REPAIR, I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR. PRESUMING THAT THE USABLE LIFE SPAN OF THESE FOLDING MIRRORS SHOULD BE WELL IN EXCESS OF THE OCCASIONAL OPERATION THAT THEY HAD, I REFUSED TO PAY AND LEFT. THE SALESMAN WHO SOLD ME THIS HUMMER LATER SAID HE HAS NO CONTROL OF HOW THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OPERATES AND THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT. ALSO, I WAS TOLD PREVIOUS TO MAKING MY APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE POWER FOLDING MIRRORS ON H2 HUMMERS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT (REAR VIEW MIRRORS). LEFT REAR DOOR FAILS TO LATCH DUE TO BINDING MECHANISM. THIS WAS ALSO REPORTED AND NOT REPAIRED DUE TO SAME CIRCUMSTANCES.*AK
