2003 Hummer H2

I WAS UNAWARE OF THE RECALL 08V456000 UNTIL THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON MY HUMMER H2 BEGAN UNTIL THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN BECAME INOPERATIVE. GM ISSUED A SECOND RECALL FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE MOTOR, BUT SAID MY VIN FELL OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL POINTS. I AM HAVING A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FINDING A REPLACEMENT MOTOR AT A PRICE I CAN AFFORD. GM SAYS IT IS JUST MY PROBLEM. I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND AM UNABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE AS I NEED TO BECAUSE OF CONCERN FOR HIS SAFETY. GM IS RECALLING 13,358 MY 2003 HUMMER H2 VEHICLES. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH WATER CAN ENTER THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR MODULE. IF A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF WATER ENTERS THE MODULE, OVER TIME, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS MAY WORK INTERMITTENTLY OR THEY MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE CONSEQUENCE IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, DRIVER VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH. REMEDY DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE COVER, AND REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE COVER FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. THE CONTACT STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTIVATED YET SHE WAS UNABLE TO DEACTIVATE THEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN ATTEMPTING TO DEACTIVATE THE WIPERS. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE WIPER MODULE WAS REPLACED BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT WENT BACK TO THE REPAIR FACILITY WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE WITHIN THE MULTI-FUNCTION SWITCH DUE TO EXCESSIVE MOISTURE. THE CONTACT INQUIRED WITH THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT AN UNKNOWN RECALL HOWEVER, SHE WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM IF HER VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VIN INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. WHILE BARELY MOVING AT LESS THAN 1 MPH, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM DUE TO THE RUSTED BRAKE LINES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE HOSES AND CALIPERS WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,071. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,000. UPDATED 05/25/10*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENTIRE UNDERCARRIAGE HAS RUSTED. UPDATED 05/28/10

WINDSHIELD MOTOR BEGAN RUNNING ON ITS OWN. WIPER FLUID BEGAN SQUIRTING ON ITS OWN. WOULD NOT RESPOND TO CONTROL. RECALL NOTICE DOCUMENT ID # 1197628 STATES THE RECALL IS TO REPLACE A COVER OVER THE MOTOR TO PREVENT IT FROM FAILING....... WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED THEY CHANGED THE COVER? LEAVING THE MOTOR INOPERABLE. I AM SURE THIS WAS NOT THE INTENTION OF THE RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 HUMMER H2. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IN 2005 THE WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER MODULE FAILED DURING HEAVY RAINS. THE DEALER REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. ON JANUARY 21, 2010, DURING HEAVY RAINS, IT FAILED AGAIN. I LOOKED UP THE MODULE ON THE INTERNET TO FIND OUT THAT IN 2008, 2003 HUMMERS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS VERY REASON. UNFORTUNATELY, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT WITHIN THOSE RECALLED. I SAW POSTS REGARDING THE FAILURE OF THIS MODULE ON MANY OTHER YEARS. I CONTACTED GMC, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE MODULE BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY ONLY RECALL MODELS WHEN THE NHTSA FORCES THEM TO, AND THEY DO NOT VOLUNTEER ANY RECALL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS OBSCURE UNIT FAILING. NO OTHER CAR IN THE WORLD HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM, ONLY HUMMER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 HUMMER H2. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO USE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SHE NOTICED THAT OCCASIONALLY THEY WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THE CONTACT HAS TO TURN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER FOR THE WIPERS TO WORK PROPERLY. THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPERS ALSO FAILED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 40000.

ON APRIL 22, 2008 MY SON WAS DRIVING MY H2 AND WAS TRYING TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT TO CHANGE LANES QUICKLY DUE TO A CAR MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF HIM. WHEN HE TURNED THE STEERING TO THE LEFT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL FELL OFF AND CAUSED HIM TO SLIDE INTO THE CAR MAKING THE RIGHT TURN. I AM THANKFUL IT HAPPENED WHEN HE WAS CHANGING LANES GOING ONLY 10-15 MILES PER HOUR INSTEAD OF IT HAPPENING WHILE CHANGING LANES ON THE FREEWAY DOING 65 TO 70 MILES PER HOUR. WE WROTE TO GMC AS WELL AS OUR WARRANTY PEOPLE AND MY INSURANCE, MERCURY, AND THEY ALL SAID IT WAS NOT A MALFUNCTION IN WAS MY SONS FAULT. WE HAD TO PAY OUT OVER $1800 IN RENTAL CAR FEES AND THEN WHEN WE FOUND OUT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY AND CLAIM IT ON OUR INSURANCE WE DID WITHOUT A CAR FOR OVER 3 MONTHS WHILE THE H2 WAS BEING REPAIRED. WE WERE OUT $2573 IN REPAIRS TO REPLACE THE KNUCKLE AND OTHER STEERING PARTS VIA MARVIN K. BROWN AUTO CENTER. WE FINALLY GOT IT BACK AND NOW ONLY A YEAR LATER IT IS SHOWING SIGNS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING AGAIN. IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN WHEN IT WANTS TO HAVE POWER STEERING OR NOT, IT ALSO TURNS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN THE BRAKE IS APPLIED. I AM VERY AFRAID THAT I OR SOMEONE ELSE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THESE ECONOMIC TIMES I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR
