HUMMER Complaints

STEERING IS VERY SLOPPY AND VAGUE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THERE IS TOO MUCH NON ACTIVE MOVEMENT TO CORRECT DIRECTION. I HAVE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT LEAST 6 INCHES CONSTANTLY TO EVEN KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT. I HEAR GM HAS WEAK PITMAN ARMS ETC.. ALSO THE STEERING JUDDERS AND VIBRATES AND SOMETIMES IT GETS STUCK AND GOES WHEN COLDER USUALLY. SOMETIMES BRAKES ARE STRONG, SOMETIMES THEY ARE WOODEN AND LACK GRIP ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. I KEEP MUCH DISTANCE TO THE OTHER CARS SO I DID NOT CRASH. BUT I GET A SCARED SENSATION WHEN CONTROLS DON'T WORK CORRECTLY. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 HUMMER H2 AT CERRITOS HUMMER. I CURRENTLY HAVE ALMOST 55,000 MILES. TODAY I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND NOTICED THE STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. ALSO THE BRAKES WERE REALLY WEAK. I USED ALL THE ENERGY I HAD TO GET INTO A GAS STATION DRIVEWAY. I DROVE ABOUT 1 BLOCK BECAUSE I NEEDED GAS WHERE I NOTICED OIL DROPPING UNDER THE CAR. I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND THE OIL WAS COMING OUT NEAR THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I OPENED THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND SAW THAT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE OIL BECAUSE IT HAD DROPPED UNDER MY CAR. MY STEERING IS TOO HARD TO TURN AND THE BRAKES ARE ALMOST NON EXISTENT PULLING INTO THE GAS STATION. I CALLED CERRITOS HUMMER AND TALKED TO THEIR SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID I WAS PAST WARRANTY. I TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT HE SAID NO AND GOT VERY LOUD AND MEAN TO ME. I TOLD HIM HE DID NOT HAVE TO GET MEAN BECAUSE HE CAN ONLY DO WHAT THE COMPUTERS AND PROTOCOL SUGGESTS, BUT HE DID NOT DO ENOUGH RESEARCH PRIOR TO REJECTING ANY RECALLS. HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO TOW MY CAR THERE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO INSPECT AND THE CHARGES COULD BE HIGH DEPENDING ON THE PROBLEM. I SAID THERE WAS A RECALL BUT HE REJECTED IT AGAIN IN A STRONG TONE. I DID NOT WANT TO ARGUE IN CASE THEY HAVE TO REPAIR MY CAR. I THINK THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUE BECAUSE A WEAK PERSON WOULD NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO PULL INTO THE PARKING LOT AS I DID. I PULLED VARIOUS MUSCLES IN MY ARMS AND SHOULDERS STEERING THE CAR INTO THE GAS STATION. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER CAR AND I DON'T THINK I CAN PAY THE COST TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES TO CERRITOS HUMMER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY ANY TOW CHARGES NOR INSPECTION COSTS NOR COSTS TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I SPEND WAY TOO MUCH MONEY AT THEIR DEALERSHIP TO BE TREATED THIS WAY. I AM USUALLY AN EASY GOING GUY, BUT THE TREATMENT HE GAVE ME REALLY ANGERED ME. MY BACK ARMS AND SHOULDERS HURT BECAUSE THE STEERING WAS SO HARD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR CONDITIONING SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING.

"STAB TRACK SYSTEM FAILURE" COMES ON WHEN DRIVING, WHICH MAKES THE CAR LOSE POWER AND SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3TIMES IN ABOUT 6 WEEKS. DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE FIXED IT 3 TIMES, NOW THEY ADMIT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO FIX. SERVICE DEPT SAYS THEY CANNOT NARROW DOWN THE PROBLEM BUT THE COMPUTER DOES RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS A STABILITY CONTROL ISSUE. I AM AFRAID IT WILL DO THIS ON THE INTERSTATE AND I WILL BE RUN OVER OR KILLED BY TRAFFIC. *TR

FRONT WIPERS STOP WORKING, RADIO STAYS ON WHEN EXIT VEHICLE, HAVING ELECTRICAL ISSUES. RADIO CAME ON BY IT'S SELF AT NIGHT AND DRAINED BATTERY. TURN REAR WIPERS ON THE RADIO WENT OFF. *TR

I HAD DROPPED MY DAUGHTER OFF AT SCHOOL THEN WENT TO THE GAS STATION AND I SMELLED SOMETHING LIKE IT WAS BURNING AND I THOUGHT IT WAS OUT SIDE. WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE GAS STATION THERE WAS SMOKE ROLLING OUT OF MY HUMMER . I HAD JUMPED IN AND MOVED THE VEHICLE AWAY FROM THE PUMPS SO THEY WOULD NOT BLOW UP AND HURT THE PATRONS AROUND US. THE FIRE DEPT CAME AND SO DID THE POLICE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BLOW HAD STARTED FROM BEHIND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND WAS ON FIRE. *TR
