HUMMER Complaints

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START CALLED DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED - REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH AFTER DIAGNOSIS. SINCE THEN HAVE HAD REPEATED EPISODES OF VEHICLE IGNITION/ELECTRICAL JUST SHUTTING COMPLETELY DOWN ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I COULD BE SITTING OR APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN UPON TAKING OFF OR IDLING DOWN, VEHICLE ALSO SHUTS DOWN WHEN MAKING TURNS AS WELL. IT OCCURS SO INFREQUENTLY AND HAS NO PATTERN BUT IT IS INDEED A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I HAVE TO PUT ON THE FLASHERS AND TAKE TIME TO RESTART THE ENGINE ALL BEFORE SOMEONE RUNS INTO ME. *TR

ON JULY 17 2014, WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURN ON AND SINCE THEN LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD STILL CURRENTLY ON. *TR

DRIVING THRU A HEAVY RAIN STORM AT 50 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE OF A THREE LANE HIGHWAY AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING AT ABOUT A 1/4 OF THE WAY UP...PULLED OVER AS SOON AS I COULD ...DID NOT PANIC... COULD NOT RESET WIPERS...HAD TO DRIVE HOME OFF THE HIGHWAY FOR 30 MILES WITH NO WIPERS...THANK GOD FOR RAIN-X ON MY WINDSHIELD...GOOGLED H2 RECALLS AND FOUND # 08243 FROM GM ON 9/9/2008 FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE...CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL EVEN IF IT WAS THE SAME ISSUE??? SORRY, NOTHING THEY CAN DO...WTF THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO CRASH BUT IT COULD HAD BEEN A MAYOR CRASH... *TR

FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM DUE TO COMPLETE EROSION OF BRAKE LINES. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH VERY COSTLY REPAIRS FOR A VEHICLE CONSUMERS BELIEVED TO BE "WELL-MADE". I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE SUBSTANDARD DEFECTIVE PARTS AND ASSOCIATED REPAIRS HAVE NOT BEEN A DETERMINED AS A RECALL. BASED UPON THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE CONSUMERS THAT PAID FOR A "HIGH-END" VEHICLE WERE DUPED!!! *TR

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON FOR VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THEN WENT OUT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN. WENT TO CHEVY DEALER WHO RAN A QUICK CODE CHECK WHICH INDICATED THE NUMBER 5 CYLINDER WAS MISFIRING. THE CHEVY DEALER INDICATED THE ENGINE/POWER TRAIN WARRRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE PROBLEM COULD BE FROM INJECTORS, PLUGS, COIL AND VALVES. INITIAL COMPUTER CHECK WOULD COST $135. VEHICLE IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE AWAITING MONEY TO GET IT CHECKED.

THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR RESISTOR CONNECTOR LOCATED UNDER THE GLOVE BOX WAS BURNT, THE RED PLASTIC ON THE HARNESS WAS MELTED. THE REASON I BECAME AWARE OF THIS IS BECAUSE THE BLOWER QUIT WORKING. I LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE AND FOUND IT IS A COMMON ISSUE. I FEEL ANYTIME YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I FEEL IT IS FAIR TO ASSUME THE NEW RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS WILL DO THE SAME THING SINCE IT IS THE EXACT SAME DESIGN. *TR

I WENT TO CRANK UP MY HUMMER TO WARM IT UP DUE TO THE VERY COLD WEATHER ONCE I CRANKED THE HUMMER I IMMEDIATELY SMELLED A VERY STRONG BURNING ODOR. IT BEGIN TO SMOKE AND MY HUSBAND YELLED IT YOUR TRUCK AND I LOOKED AND SAW THE SMOKE GETTING WORSE AND THICKER. I UNHOOKED MY INFANT SON'S CAR SEAT BELT AND TOOK HIM OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I RAN TO THE BUILDING WE WERE LEAVING TO CALL 911 BECAUSE OF THE SMOKE WHILE ON THE PHONE WITH THE 911 DISPATCHER I SAW THE FIRE START INSIDE THE TRUCK ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND DASHBOARD IT THEN IT IMMEDIATELY SPREAD AND BURNED THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK WHERE IT IS NOT RECOGNIZABLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND SPRAYED WATER ON IT TO PUT OUT THE FIRE THERE WERE BLUE AND RED SPARKS SHOOTING OUT OF THE TRUCK. THE SPARKS AND FIRE STARTED IN THE STEERING WHEEL AREA WHICH SHOWED THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT CAUSED THIS FIRE. I CHECKED OTHER RECALLS AND NOTICED THAT THE ISSUE I SPEAK OF WAS RECALLED INSIDE OF THE 2006 H2 HUMMERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HUMMER H2. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE MADE AN IMPROPER LEFT TURN AND CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD AFTER THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE FOR THE SRS WAS DISCONTINUED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH IMPACT SENSOR AND SRS FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,687.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE STEERING FAILED, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT END DROPPED, AND THE VEHICLE SLID INTO A PARKED TRUCK. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06E010000 (STEERING) WAS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

SINCE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED NEW, WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE OFF POSITION IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE KEY WILL 'TURN ITSELF ON' WITH ONLY THE SLIGHTEST 'BUMP' OF THE KEY OR THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL SAME VEHICLE OWNERS. WHAT WITH ALL THE ISSUES WITH OTHER VEHICLE IGNITION MATTERS THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTED AND CORRECTED YEARS BEFORE NOW. I STILL OWN THIS VEHICLE. *TR
