ALL OF THE BALL JOINTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE DEFECTIVE; THEY WORE OUT COMPLETELY IN LESS THAN 18,500 MILES OF USE. THIS CAN CAUSE THE WHEELS TO FALL OFF, A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, ACCORDING TO AN INSPECTOR AT AN OFFICIAL MASSACHUSETTS VEHICLE INSPECTION STATION. THE MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE BALL JOINTS ARE DEFECTIVE BUT WILL NOT REPLACE THEM AFTER THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 18,500 MILES ON IT. ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER, THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS MANY HUMMERS BUILT IN 1995.

THE COATING USED TO PROTECT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHAFT IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE BRONZE BUSHING THROUGH WHICH THE SHAFT PASSES. OVER TIME, AND IN THE PRESENCE OF A CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT (WATER, ROAD SALT), THE SHAFT CAN CORRODE INSIDE THE BUSHING INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF FRICTION BETWEEN THE ROTATING SHAFT AND THE STATIONARY BUSHING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A CORRODED ACCELERATOR PEDAL SHAFT CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE THROTTLE TO BIND AND NOT FULLY RETURN TO IDLE WHEN THE OPERATOR'S FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REVISED ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND SHAFT ASSEMBLY.
UNDER HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURES (GREATER THAN 95 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT) AND THE FUEL TANK LEVEL BETWEEN 1/4 AND 1/2 FULL, THE FUEL TANK INTERNAL PRESSURE CAN INCREASE CAUSING THE TANK TO EXPAND. TANK EXPANSION CAUSES AN INTERFERENCE BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK PROTECTIVE SHIELD AND THE PROPELLER SHAFT RESULTING A HOLE IN THE FUEL TANK AT THE POINT OF SHIELD-TO-SHAFT CONTACT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE FUEL LEAKAGE, AND IF AN IGNITION SOURCE IS PRESENT, COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A SUPPLEMENTAL FUEL TANK VENTING SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES.
WATER CAN ACCUMULATE IN THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE AND IF THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW FREEZING AND THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED, THE WATER CAN FREEZE CAUSING THE CABLE TO BIND AND NOT RELEASE AS INTENDED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED OR THE SYSTEM IS TURNED OFF AT THE MASTER CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE ENGINE THROTTLE CAN STICK OPEN RESULTING IN LOSS OF THROTTLE CONTROL WITH THE INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE ACCIDENT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE CURRENT CRUISE CONTROL ACTUATOR AND CABLE ASSEMBLY AND INSTALL A NEW ASSEMBLY. ADDITIONALLY, DEALERS WILL CHANGE THE ROUTING OF THE CABLE.
