I BOUGHT A HUMMER H2 IN APRIL 2004. I WENT OFF ROAD THE NEXT WEEKEND AND WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR UP A MOUNTAIN AND LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING. WE FOUND OUT THE TIE ROD BROKE. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I WENT TO ABRITRATION AND WON MY CASE. THIS LAST WEEKEND I WAS CLIMBING A HILL LESS THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR AND THE SAME TIE ROD BROKE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF THAT WHEEL. I TALKED TO A SALES MAN AT THE HUMMER DEALER I BOUGHT MY TRUCK FROM AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE BROKE A TIE ROD AT ONE OF THE HUMMER TEST CENTERS. WHEN I PICKED MY TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME MY TIE ROD BROKE I SAW ANOTHER HUMMER H2 BEING BROUGHT IN FOR A BROKEN TIE ROD. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE REPAIR TECH AND HE TOLD ME HE COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW SMALL THE TIE RODS ARE. I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO TELL YOU THESE STORIES. I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO SEE PEOPLE DIE FROM THIS DEFECTIVE TIE ROD. I KNOW GM DOES NOT WANT TO RECALL THIS PART BUT IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. THANKS FOR YOU HELP, ANTHONY OREFICE 661 510-6523 CELL. *AK

FRONT WHEEL LINKAGE FAILURE, WHEEL FELL OFF. MY BROTHER AND I NEARLY DIED TODAY FROM AN ACCIDENT IN MY MOTHERS H2. WE HAD JUST LEFT A FRIENDS HOUSE AND WERE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SEEMED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL BROKE FREE. THE H2 VIOLENTLY SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND EVEN THOUGH I AM A BIG GUY IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THAT 6000 LBS BEAST FROM SWERVING. I HIT THE BRAKES BUT THOSE DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP SINCE THE BRAKES WERE STILL ATTACHED TO THE WHEEL WHICH I COULD SEE WAS BEHIND US FROM THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR. THE H2 TORE THROUGH THE OPPOSITE LANE AND SLAMMED US INTO A DITCH CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE. I CAN ONLY THANK GOD THAT WE WERE FINE AND THAT THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT THAT TIME. THE BRAKING OFF OF THE WHEEL CAUSED MAJOR WHEEL WELL AND FENDER DAMAGE. THE FORCE OF THE WHEEL SLAMMING INTO THE WELL SHATTERED THE WINDSHIELD AND BROKE THE SIDE STEP. I HAD DIFFICULTY OPENING THE DOOR TO GET OUT BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE. WHEN I GOT OUT I SAW THAT THE WHEEL WAS ABOUT 10 FEET BEHIND US. THERE WERE SEVERAL SUSPENSION PIECES STILL CONNECTED TO IT. THE POLICE OFFICER HAD A HARD TIME BELIEVING MY STORY, BUT THAT IS EXPECTED FROM THEM, THE REAL PAINFUL THING IS THAT MY MOTHER WONT BELIEVE ME EITHER. I HAVE READ OF SEVERAL CASES LIKE THIS. THIS WAS A VERY SCARY ACCIDENT, NOTHING IS WORSE THAN LOOSING ALL CONTROL OF A VEHICLE WITH A LOVED ONE INSIDE, KNOWING THAT YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT PERSON. *AK

LIFTED VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO HAVE A LEAKING UPPER DRIVER'S SIDE CV BOOT REPLACED. WHEN THE AXLE WAS REMOVED, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE AXLE HAD BEEN DESTOYED AND THE PIECES PUNCTURED THE CV BOOT INTERNALLY CAUSING THE LEAK. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IN A LITTLE OVER 600 MILES THAT THIS BOOT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THE CV BOOT WAS LAST REPLACED, THERE WAS NO NOTICABLE DAMAGE TO THE AXLE. WAS INFORMED BY A GM TECH TODAY THAT THE DAMAGE MAY HAVE OCCURED WHEN THE AXLE WAS REINSTALLED. NOW I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE GM FACTORY REP HAS DENIED WARRANTY COVERAGE. VEHICLE HAS BEEN LIFTED AND DEALERSHIP ATTRIBUTES THE DAMAGE TO THE LIFT AND THE ANGLE OF THE AXLES. VEHICLE IS NOT USED OFF-ROAD AND 4X4 OPTION IS NOT USED. OTHER H2'S ON WWW.H2SOURCE.COM HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT THIS WAS DUE TO OFF-ROAD USAGE. *MR
