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.

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

I HAVE TAKEN IT TO BE CHECKED & NO ONE CAN FIGURE THE CAUSE. I DO NOT WANT TO EVEN THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE GLASS FLIES OFF & DO NOT WANT TO BE THE CAUSE OF SOMEONE DYING OR BECOMING BADLY INJURED.

GOT IT FIXED,AND IT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. NOW I HAVE FRONT END PROBLEMS ,BRAKE PROBLEMS, FRAME IS SQUEAKING REALLY BAD AND DEALERSHIP CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. REAR PASSENGER WINDOW KEEPS FALLING DOWN. ALL IN ALL HUMMER ARE THE BIGGEST PILE OF JUNK ON THE ROAD. ILL NEVER GIVE MY MONEY TO GM AGAIN. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY SELL.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2003 HUMMER H2 IN MARCH 2008 AND AS WE TEST DROVE THE HUMMER (FULLY LOADED) WE CHECKED ALL THE SPECS EVERYTHING WAS WORKING WELL AND 1 OR 2 DAYS LATER WE WENT TO TRY AND OPEN THE SUNROOF AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN, AND WE HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN IT IS RAINING HEAVY OR LIGHT THAT OUR HEADLINER HAS WATER STAINS AND IS WET RIGHT AFTER IT RAINS. WE ARE ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE SUNROOF (FULLY CLOSED) WILL SHAKE & RATTLE AND IT FEELS LIKE AT ANY MOMENT THAT IT COULD COMPLETELY FLY OFF AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR EVEN A FATAL ONE DUE TO THE WEIGHT OF THE SUNROOF GLASS. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON AUTO FORUMS ONLINE, WITH THIS EXACT SAME ISSUES THAT WE ARE HAVING. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE BUT TO THE FACT THAT IF IT FLIES OFF AND IT DOESN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, THAT IT COULD GO THROUGH THE VEHICLE'S WINDSHIELD DIRECTLY BEHIND US. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY RECALL DUE TO IT BEING A MANUFACTURE FAULTY INSTALL AND THE OTHER 2003 HUMMER H2 OWNERS COMPLAINTS SAY THAT WHEN THEY TOOK THEIR HUMMER TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE TOLD IT WAS A MANUFACTURE FAULTY INSTALL AND WERE STILL CHARGE LARGE SUMS OF MONEY TO FIX A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM . I THINK THAT THE HUMMER/GM MANUFACTURE SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE, AND PAY FOR ALL COSTS & DAMAGE TO THE HEADLINER & THE FAULTY SUNROOF RATTLE . AND WE HAVE TO PAY HIGH PRICES FOR THESE VEHICLES ALONE, WE DO HAVE A RIGHT TO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS CORRECTED & FIXED, AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY OF IT, SINCE IT WAS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM . THANK YOU VERY MUCH. *TR

THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $600 FOR THE MULTISELECT SWITCH IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE LABOR COST. I STARTED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET FOR RECALL INFORMATION AND IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THAT PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK THAT I SHOULD PAY FOR A MANUFACTURE MISTAKE.

THEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON. THE WINDSHIELD WIPER STARTED WORKING, BUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER KEEPS SPRAYING CLEANER ON THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD TO REMOVE THE RELAY TO MAKE IT STOP. THE REAR WINDOW WASHER KEEPS SPRAYING CLEANER ON THE WINDOW ALSO. I CALLED A CHEVORLET DEALER IN FLORIDA AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $600 FOR THE MULTISELECT SWITCH IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THE LABOR COST. I STARTED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET FOR RECALL INFORMATION AND IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THAT PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK THAT I SHOULD PAY FOR A MANUFACTURE MISTAKE. SO I AM REPORTING THIS TO YOU. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

WINDSHIELD WIPER / WASHER FAILS DURING OPERATION, 2003 HUMMER H2, THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT HUMMER SAYS THAT RECALL DID NOT EFFECT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE AND IT IS A COINCIDENCE THAT I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE, YEAR, MODEL, AND MAKE WAS FOR. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER MOTOR FAILED. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED THE WIPERS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY, NOW SEVERAL MONTHS LATER THEY ONLY WORK A FEW SECONDS AT A TIME. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 02V283000, REGARDING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER/ WASHER: MOTOR. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

ANY TIME IT RAINS THE VEHICLE FILLS UP WITH WATER. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE SUN ROOF, THE GASKET IN THE DRIVERS DOOR, AND THE CARGO HATCH. THE ELECTRIC DRIVERS SEAT MOVES UP AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF CAUSING THE DRIVER TO BE CRUSHED AGAINST THE DASH BOARD. THE CONSUMER FEELS THAT THE HOOD IS TOO HEAVY AND THAT THERE IS NO SUPPORT BAR TO HOLD IT UP. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES SINCE THE CONSUMER PURCHASED IT. *MR

I OWN A 2003 HUMMER H2. THIS IS THE SECOND WINTER WITH THIS CAR AND THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED EVERYTIME I DRIVE IN SNOW. I CLEANED THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD INCLUDING SNOW AND ICE UNDER THE WIPERS, I WARM UP THE CAR PROPERLY, I TURN THE DEFROST ON (LAST NIGHT IT WAS SET AT 80 DEGREES)/ WITHIN A FEW MILES THE WIPERS ARE INEFFECTIVE BECAUSE A LAYER OF ICE AND SNOW HAS ACCUMULATED BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE WIPER BLADES. VISIBILITY---ZERO. *LA
