HUMMER Complaints

THE STEERING ON MY 2003 HUMMER H2 STEERING IS HORRIBLE AND SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. I ALSO HAVE NOTICED THAT I HAVE WAY TOO MUCH STEERING AND IT TENDS CAUSE ME TO OVER CORRECT AND GO INTO THE DITCH OR OFF THE ROAD. AND WHEN I AM GOING DOWN A HIGHWAY THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS (WHICH I HAVE TO TRAVEL TO LEAVE MY HOUSE) I CAN BE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND IT WILL JUST VEER OFF INTO ANOTHER LANE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT AND THIS IS NOT A BALANCE OR ALIGNMENT ISSUE WHATSOEVER BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN CHECKED. *TR

MY 2003 HUMMER H2'S SERVICE BRAKES LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL & ABS LIGHT, AND EVERY TIME I BRAKE IT SEEMS TO PULL ME ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT IS ALSO VERY HARD TO STOP IF I SUDDENLY HAVE TO BRAKE AND I AM SCARED I AM GOING TO HAVE A MAJOR COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE OR ANOTHER OBJECT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! THERE ARE MANY TIMES I HAVE APPLIED PRESSURE TO MY BRAKES AND IT DIDN'T EVEN SLOW AT ALL. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE 3 VERY YOUNG CHILDREN USUALLY WITH ME & I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WOULD BE A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY CHILDREN & MORE IMPORTANTLY MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT HAD BRAIN SURGERY LESS JUST OVER A YEAR AGO THAT CANNOT HIT HER HEAD OR BE IN A MINOR CAR CRASH BECAUSE HER SKULL MAY COME APART AND KILL HER INSTANTLY , THIS IS THE VERY REASON I BOUGHT THIS BIG, ROOMY, GAS GUZZLER TO BEGIN WITH, TO GIVE MY CHILD ENOUGH ROOM IN A MINOR CAR CRASH TO NOT HIT HER HEAD BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH ROOM OR SHE WAS TOO COMPACTED IN A SMALLER SUV AND I AM FINDING OUT I MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF WITH ANOTHER SMALLER VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE, AND THIS WAS A VERY BAD DECISION TO BUY THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I HAVE NO OPTIONS TO TRADE IT IN RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I HAVE TO MUCH IN IT. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP MY VEHICLE AND YES, MY BRAKES ARE ALMOST NEW SO ITS NOT THE PROBLEM, NOR DOES IT HAVE LOW BRAKE FLUID. *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY EVEN AFTER OIL CHANGES AND CHECK UPS. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED EVER SINCE THIS HAS STARTED TO OCCUR MY SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN PERIODICALLY STICKING ON 120MPH WHEN GOING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AND STAYING ON 60MPH WHILE IN PARK. I FIND THIS VERY DANGEROUS AS I DO NOT KNOW THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING AND HAVE RECEIVED A SPEEDING TICKET WHEN IT WAS READING THAT I WAS GOING SLOWER THAN I WAS ACTUALLY TRAVELING. SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT WORK AT ALL , SOMETIMES IT WILL READ I AM GOING SLOWER THAN MY ACTUAL SPEED AND I DID NOT KNOW THIS UNTIL I GOT A TICKET. BUT SOON AFTER THIS INCIDENT IS WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER KEPT STICKING AT 120MPH AND ACTUALLY LOOKING LIKE MY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE MIGHT BRAKE OFF. THIS HAS CAUSED A HUGE DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I AM NOT A SPEED EXPERT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I NEED TO HAVE MY FULL ATTENTION ON DRIVING NOT WORRYING ABOUT MY SPEED BECAUSE IT IS FAULTY AND INACCURATE. THIS VEHICLE IS HARD ENOUGH TO KEEP ON THE ROAD AS IT IS! *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AT 73 MPH THE SIDE AIR BAG CURTAINS DEPLOYED WITHOUT ANY REASON. THERE WAS NO CRASH OR DAMAGES DONE TO THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF DEPLOYMENT OTHER THAN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CRASH MODULE FROM THE VEHICLE STATES IT DETECTED A ROLLOVER EVENT OF 0-1/4 TURN. WE HAVE TURNED IN A CLAIM TO OUR INSURANCE AND THEY ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE DRIVER NOR ROAD CONDITIONS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE DEPLOYMENT. WE ARE IN DISAGREEMENT WITH GM AND FEEL THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLES SYSTEM THAT COMMANDED A DEPLOYMENT AND WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT SO THIS IS CHECKED INTO. AT THE SPEED THE VEHICLE WAS GOING THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT IF THE DRIVER WAS NOT AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE AIRBAGS REPLACED AND INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE FIXED UNDER OUR COMPREHENSIVE PORTION OF OUR INSURANCE POLICY. WE CAN RETAIN ANY OF THE REPLACED PARTS FOR INSPECTION IF NECESSARY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT LEASED A 2006 HUMMER H3. WHILE TURNING INTO A DRIVEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIE ROD FAILED AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE. THE FRAME WAS DAMAGED AND THE VEHICLE STRUCK A TELEPHONE POLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FRAME HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED MID BACK, LOWER NECK, WRIST, AND KNEE INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO GM. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 44,000. UPDATED 11/17/08 *CN UPDATED 11/24/08. *JB

GM 4L65-E OR 4L65E TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND FREQUENTLY THE 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LOSES FIRST AND FOURTH GEARS. WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFT FROM THIRD TO SECOND (THIS CAN BE DONE MANUALLY - ONLY 2ND AND 3RD WORK THOUGH) - FEELS LIKE IT WILL NOT COME OUT OF DRIVE AUTOMATICALLY WHEN SLOWING ALL THE WAY TO A STOP. IT HAS BEEN ACTING ERRATIC FROM NORMAL TO PROBLEMATIC - ERROR CODE INDICATES 'TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH SOLENOID LOCK UP' A YOUTUBE VIDEO MIGHT DESCRIBE IT HERE: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=5JEB0KPAN_G I COULD SEE WHERE IT VERY WELL COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN IT DECIDES IT WANTS TO. *TR

I WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER DRIVER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE HORN FAILED TO OPERATE WHEN PRESSED. AFTER THIS INCIDENT, I DISCOVERED THAT THE HORN DOES NOT WORK AFTER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN EVERY FEW MILES! THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR HOURS OF DIAGNOSIS, AND FINALLY IT WAS DISCOVERED BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A BAD "SIR COIL". THE "SIR COIL" IS ON SPECIAL ORDER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HUMMER H3. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS ON HER AFTERMARKET LEATHER SEAT COVER. THE FRONT AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DISABLES WHEN IT SHOULD BE ENABLED AND VICE VERSA. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V417000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL) WAS REFERENCED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

PURCHASED A 2006 HUMMER H3 FROM THE SELLER IN THIS COMPLAINT. I PAID EXACTLY $23,250 ALL CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE. HE ACTUALLY DROVE THE VEHICLE TO NEW JERSEY FROM MASS. TO MY RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AS IT ONLY HAD 14K MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT ONLY 3-MONTH'S AGO. ONE WOULD HARDLY THINK OF "HIDDEN" ISSUES AT THAT MILEAGE. IN ANY EVENT, I HAVE HAD REPAIRS TO THE REAR AND FRONT DIFFERENTIAL, AS IT HAD A LEAK AND THE FRONT END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THE MOST DISTURBING THING WAS THIS SELLER LIED TO ME AND MISREPRESENTED THE "TRUE" OR ACTUAL CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE. UNFORTUNATELY WHICH WOULD SURFACE AFTER HE LEFT WITH MY $23,250 IN CASH! I WOULD E-MAIL THE SELLER AND TOLD HIM HE MISREPRESENTED HIMSELF AND THE CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE AND HOW HE APPARENTLY ABUSED IT. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I DISCOVERED "EXCESSIVE" RUST UNDERNEATH THIS VEHICLE. BECAUSE THESE CONDITIONS WERE NOT DIVULGED TO ME BY MR. JOHNSON, I AM HAVING A HARD TIME SELLING THE VEHICLE THAT PRACTICALLY CLEANED OUT ALL OF MY SAVINGS. HE CLAIMED THIS TRUCK WAS GARAGED KEPT AND THAT HE DID NO OFF ROAD RIDING. THIS APPARENTLY IS TOTALLY UNTRUE, AS THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE AS MUCH RUST AS IT IS LOADED WITH FOR A 2006! SO, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT RECOURSE, I MAY HAVE AS A THE BUYER, BESIDES HIRING A PRIVATE ATTORNEY WHO I CAN'T AFFORD, AS I AM ON PERMANENT DISABILITY. THERE MUST I SOMETHING MY I CAN PURSUE UNDER ANY STATE OR FEDERAL CONSUMER LAWS, ESPECIALLY, SINCE THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY BY GENERAL MOTORS.. I SHOULD ALSO ADD THAT I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH A LOCAL HUMMER DEALER "ROYAL HUMMER" IN FLORHAM PARK, WHO SEEMED RELUCTANT TO ADDRESS THE MANY ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH THIS HUMMER! I WOULD ALSO APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN FORWARD THIS COMPLAINT TO GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, IN MICHIGAN, AS THEY SHOULD KNOW I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH DEALERS WANTING TO HONOR,AS THEY SHOULD, ANY WARRANTY WORK! I AM PREPARED TO FILE EVERY COMPLAINT I COULD TO GET RESTITUTION FOR THIS APPARENT. *TR

"STAB TRACK SYSTEM FAILURE" COMES ON WHEN DRIVING, WHICH MAKES THE CAR LOSE POWER AND SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN ABOUT 6 WEEKS. DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE FIXED IT 4 TIMES, NOW THEY ADMIT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND UNABLE TO FIX. *TR
