HUMMER Complaints

WE PURCHASED THIS H2 IN DECEMBER 2014 AND BY FEB 2015 NOTICED A GRUMBLY SOUND IN THE BRAKES. WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THE TECH TOLD US THE WHOLE UNDERCARRIAGE WAS RUSTED AND ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED THRU AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. SINCE SOME OF THE LINES WERE NO LONGER AVAILABLE, THEY HAD TO "CREATE" THEM. THIS WAS A COSTLY FIX AND WHO KNOWS WHAT THE SAFETY IMPACT COULD HAVE BEEN.

IN THE MIDST OF TRAVELING ON VACATION, THE SPEEDOMETER AND MANY OF THE OTHER DASH COMPONENTS JUST QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO RELY SOLELY ON THE PORTABLE GPS TO DETERMINE THE SPEED THAT I WAS GOING. THIS IS UNSAFE, AND THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HUMMER MOST CERTAINLY NEEDS TO CORRECT.

DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING IT WAS A WINTER COLD DAY I WAS GOING NORTHBOUND AND A VECHICLE GOING SOUTHBOUND PULLED OUT TO PASS A TRANSPORT TRUCK AND KEPT GOING I SLOWED DOWN WENT TO RIGHT A WEE BIT AND CAR HIT ME HEAD ON !! I WAS WOKEN BY ONSTAR AND FINALLY GOT OUT EXITING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR !! I RECEIVED LEFT KNEE ABRASIONS AND FEW CUTS AND CHECKED OVER BY EMS AND DID A FOLLOWUP LATER ON DAY OTHER DRIVER TRANSPORTED TO HOSPITAL WITH BAD INJURIES !! FROM BEING IN SHOCK I KINDA ACCEPTED ACCIDENT BUT STARTED DEALING WITH CONCUSSION AND PTSD !! FEW DAYS LATER ADJUSTER AND I LOOKED AT TRUCK IN THE IMPOUND AND WAS SHOCKED THAT I LOOKED OK WITH THE DAMAGE !! HIS FIRST THOUGHT WAS HIGH IMPACT AND WONDERED ABOUT AIR BAG LATER ON !! THE HUMMER WAS A WRITE OFF BUT I MANAGED TO TAKE A FEW PICS !! I WAS PREPARING FOR HEAD ON CRASH SO I COVERED MY FACE FROM ALL THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING BUT THE ONLY ONE THAT CAME OUT WAS THE LOW IMPACT ON THE STEERING WHEEL !! MY INJURIES TO HEAD MAY BE MORE SERIOUS THEN I THOUGHT BECAUSE NEURO TESTS ARE BEING DONE !! THERE WAS BEEN NO RECALLS FOR AIRBAGS FOR THE H3T BUT IT WAS DURING THE RECESSION THEY WERE BUILT AND I BELIEVE TOTAL PRODUCTION IN BOTH YEARS WAS OVER 5000 SO VERY UNLIMITED AND POSSISBLY COULD BE THE FIRST ONE IN AN ACCIDENT !! I HAVE A FEW PICS AND I CAN FORWARD THEM !! I LIVE IN CANADA SO ADDRESS IS WRONG !! THANKS [XXX] ....

WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE DASH LIT UP ALL SERVICE LIGHTS THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REDUCED POWER MODE NOT ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO EXCEED 40 MPH AND ABS SENSORS CAME ON STAYING TRACTION FAIL, ABS FAIL, BEGAN TO STUTTER AND STALL. TOOK TO SHOP. VEHICLE RUNNING CODES FOR SPARK PLUGS, REPLACED SPARK PLUGS. FEW WEEKS LATER DID IT AGAIN, THIS TIME SAYING THROTTLE BODY. REPLACED IT, A MONTH LATER DID IT AGAIN, EACH TIME IN MAJOR TRAFFIC HAVING TO PULL OFF ROADWAY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS TIME SAYS MISFIRING, THROTTLE BODY, ABS,TPMS, THERMOSTAT, ETC. TAKE IT TO HAVE COMPRESSION TEST RUN AND SYSTEM SAYS CYLINDER FAILURE. DO RESEARCH ON ISSUE AND FIND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE HAVING CAUSED ACCIDENTS AND THOUSAND OF DOLLARS SPENT BY CONSUMERS AFTER HAVING ACCIDENTS BUT NO KNOWN FATALITY SO GM WILL NO RECALL OR HONOR THE ISSUE REPAIRS. ALMOST ALL OF THEM HAPPENING AT 100K MILES. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED APPROXIMATELY 7 YEARS AGO. I WAS TAKING MY VEHICLE THROUGH AN AUTOMATED CAR WASH AND THE HOOD VENT CAME COMPLETELY OFF. I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2010 CONCERNING THIS PART BUT I NEVER GOT NOTIFICATION. WHEN I LOOK UP BY MY VIN, IT STATES NO RECALLS. WHY NOT? I NOTICED IT WAS LOOSE AT ONE LOWER CORNER AND ALREADY HAD DISCUSSED FIXING IT WITH THE BODY SHOP. I NEED THE HOOD VENT REPLACED NOW SINCE IT TORE THE LATCHES LOOSE FROM THE TOP. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 3, 2015, I NOTICED MY BRAKES PEDAL WERE GOING CLOSER TO THE FLOOR. I GOT HOME AND NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LINES AT THE REAR WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID ONTO MY DRIVEWAY. I ATTEMPTED TO PULL THE VEHICLE UP FURTHER IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO PUSH IN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. ON FEBRUARY THE 7TH I CONTACTED MY GMC DEALER IN WENDELL, NC. I ADVISED THEM THAT I WAS GETTING AAA TO TOW MY VEHICLE IN DUE TO BRAKE LINE PROBLEMS. THE DEALER REPAIRED MY REAR AND FRONT BRAKE LINES AND CHARGED ME A TOTAL OF 1,949.00 AND SAID THAT THEIR WAS NOT A RECALL ON THIS PART. *TR

THEN SPARKS BEGIN TO DROP ONTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. SHE PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AS THE SMOKE AND SPARKS WERE INTENSIFYING. EVENTUALLY THE ENTIRE CABIN WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED. *TR
