THE COMPUTER IN THE H2 HUMMER MALFUNCTION. WIPERS WILL NOT TURN OFF. 4 WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT ENGAGE. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. EVERYTHING THE COMPUTER CONTROLS IS FAILING.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND LIGHT BLINKS THAN STAYS ON UNTIL I TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE. THE SHOP CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT IS DOING THIS HAD IT SHOP ABOUT 7-8 TIMES FOR SERVICE. ALSO CODE STATES CAN CAUSE A POSSIBLE FIRE

VEHICLE HAS 133,000 MILES. IT HAS NOW EXPERIENCED AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET LEAK DUE TO BROKEN BOLTS. THIS IS CAUSING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AREA, AND IS UNSAFE DUE TO THE LEAK OF HOT GASES BEING RELEASED FROM THE ENGINE AT THE POINTS OF FAILURE (BROKEN BOLTS). THIS MAY BE AN EPA CONCERN AS WELL, AND COULD ALSO LEAD TO FAILURE OF CATALYTIC CONVERTER. REPAIR ESTIMATE IS $1,300. AN ONLINE SEARCH YIELDS HUNDREDS OF OTHER RESULTS WITH SAME FAILURE AND COMPLAINT ON ALL GM V8 ENGINES FOR YEARS 1999-2007. THIS AFFECTS THE 4.8L, 5.3L, AND 6.0L MODELS. THIS IS A DESIGN FAILURE AND THE AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH THESE ENGINES SHOULD BE RECALLED.

HEATER FAN BLOWER MOTOR STARTED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE CAR IN MOTION, THEN SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRICAL. WIRING HARNESS TO HEATER UNDER THE GLOVEBOX WAS BURNING HOT TO THE TOUCH AND MELTED ALL THE WIRES. PLASTIC WIRE HARNESS COMPONENT COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND ALMOST CAUGHT FIRE.

HEATER FAN CONTROL KNOB OVERHEATS. WHEN HEATER WAS IN OPERATION THE HEATER CONTROL KNOB AREA ABOVE AND BELOW THE CVERY HOT TO THE TOUCH, HEATING UP RADIO AND OTHER FRONT DASH COMPONENTS. PRIOR TO THIS, INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY FOR GAS GAUGE AND RPMS, AND STOPS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY FOR SPEEDOMETER (OCCURRED AROUND 100K MILES).

TAKATA RECALL HASN'T INCLUDED BUT SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THE H2 HUMMER 2005. THIS LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY. FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING IT. NOW, BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY IT'S THE CONSUMERS RESPONSIBILITY. I WILL TAKE THIS MATTER TO THE NEWS STATIONS IF I HAVE TO. THAT'S TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND WHEN WE GOT INTO IT TO LEAVE THE LIGHT WAS ON AND BLINKING AND WOULD NOT GO OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HUMMER H2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SERVICE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (HALEY BUICK GMC, 9831 MIDLOTHIAN TURNPIKE, RICHMOND, VA 23236, (804) 320-9054) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSING DIAGNOSTIC MODULE FOR THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART BEING DISCONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,550.

GET IN START THE VEHICLE, SEAT HEAT COMES ON. I TURN IT OFF IT COMES BACK ON SECONDS LATER. IT WILL NOT GO OFF AND STAY OFF. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IM DRIVING OR PARKED. SEAT HEAT COMES ON BY ITS SELF.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE (SIMILAR TO THE SOUND A DIRT BIKE ENGINE MAKES). THE SOUND BECAME LOLUDER WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE HYDROBOOSTER FAILED RESULTING IN A STEERING FLUID LEAKAGE.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND CAR NOT IN ACCIDENT. JUST WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED AS I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT AND THE BAG COMES OUT. THE DOOR WON'T CLOSE.MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE SDM (SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE) ON MY 2005 HUMMER H2 IS NOT WORKING AND IS CAUSING MY AIR BAGS TO NOT WORK, AND ALSO CAUSES OTHER MODULES TO NOT BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE AND CAUSE MY GAUGES AND OTHER ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES TO NOT OPERATE (WINDOWS, LOCKS, ETC.) MANY OTHER HUMMER H2 OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. A NEW SDM WOULD FIX THE ISSUE, BUT GM FOR SOME REASON HAS DISCONTINUED MANUFACTURING THIS MODULE. WHY WOULD GM STOP MAKING A SAFETY RELATED ITEM FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE ONLY AROULD 10 YEARS OLD WITH MANY STILL ON THE ROAD. SO, NOW WE MUST DRIVE IT WITH THE AIR BAGS MOST LIKELY NOT GOING TO DEPLOY IN A CRASH.

AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE NLA OEM 12249649. AFTER A RAIN I STARTED UP MY PARKED VEHICLE THE SERVICE AIR BAG LISTED IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER AS WELL AS THE RED WARNING LAMP TURN AND STAYED ON I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE NEVER BEEN IN ANY CRASH. TOOK TO BOTH GM DEALER AND INDEPENDENT SHOP WITH THE SAME RESPONSE OF A REPLACEMENT WAS NOT AVAILABLE. IN MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER 2005 OWNERS AND HAVE CONTACTED THE GM HELP LINE (CASE NUMBER 8-2560253832) TO NO AVAIL. MY LOCAL GM DEALER TRIED SEVERAL LEADS BUT WERE ALL DEAD ENDS. PREVIOUS YEARS OF THIS SAME MODEL VEHICLE HAVE THIS COMPONENT AVAILABLE BUT WILL NOT FIT THE 2005 YEAR MODEL AS I AM TOLD.

THERE IS A LEAK CAUSED BY THE TUBES CHANNELING WATER FROM THE SUNROOF. DURING HEAVY RAINS WATER POOLS ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR.

CAR WILL NOT START DUE TO PASS-LOCK OR OTHER MALFUNCTION COMPONENT. MUST TRY AND FAIL AND THEN WAIT FOR CAR TO 'RE-SET' EACH AND EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS TRIED TO BE STARTED. AFTER 10 MINUTES THE CAR'S ENGINE COMPLETELY KILLS, EVEN IF CAR IS IN MOTION. REPROGRAMMED KEYS AND THIS ONLY WORKED FOR A WEEK. NOW EACH AND EVERY DOOR LOCK, BACK HATCH LOCK, ETC... HAS FAILED. THE HATCH IS LOCKED CLOSED AND THE DOORS WILL ONLY UNLOCK OR LOCK PHYSICALLY WITH YOUR HAND. THE SPEEDOMETER FAILS INTERMITTENTLY, ALONG WITH OTHER GAUGES WORKING ONLY SOMETIMES.

THERE HAS TO BE A RECALL DONE ON THE 2005 HUMMER H2 AIRBAG MODULE. WHEN IT RAINS THE WATER GETS IN TO VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE. I SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE CURRENTLY ONLY 61,000 MILES ON MY HUMMER H2. NEVER GOT IN A ACCIDENT. ONLY ISSUE IS THE WATER COMING IN FROM THE DRIVER SIDE AND DAMAGED THE AIR BAG MODULE. THE PART # IS 12249649, AND IT ONLY WORKS ON THE 2005 NO OTHER YEAR MODULES WILL WORK. THE PART IS DISCONTINUED FROM GM.

A PROBLEM WITH NEARLY ALL HUMMER H2S IS ROOF LEAK, THERE IS A DRAINAGE SYSTEM TO DRAIN THE WATER THRU THE VEHICLE. THIS CLOGS UP PERIODICALLY AND THE WATER DRAINS INTO THE VEHICLE AND ENDS UP ON THE FRONT FLOORBOARD. THE AIRBAG SENSOR DIAGNOSTIC MODULE IS MOUNTED ON THE FLOORBOARD DIRECTLY UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. IF THIS GETS WET, WHICH IT DOES, THE MODULE IS RUINED AND RENDERS THE AIRBAGS INOPERABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE AND I AM SURE MANY OTHERS. IF THIS MODULE IS NOT IN WORKING ORDER IT HAS TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER, GENERAL MOTORS HAS DISCONTINUED MAKING THE AIRBAG SENSOR DIAGNOSTIC MODULE FOR THE 2005 HUMMER H2 MODEL YEAR!. I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON (OWNER) CAUGHT UP IN THIS SITUATION. THE VEHICLE IS STILL OPERATIVE AND DRIVABLE. AIRBAG SENSOR DIAGNOSTIC MODULE SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AND MANUFACTURE SHOULD ENSURE IT IS AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD AND IF I OWNED A PRIOR YEAR THE MODULE IS STILL AVAILABLE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF WHERE IT IS LOCATED IN THE VEHICLE AND MANUFACTURE KNOWLEDGE OF LEAK PROBLEMS, AND ONLY ONE YEAR DISCONTINUED. I HAVE CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THERE REPLY WAS "SORRY". IT VERY APPARENT GENERAL MOTORS HAS NO REGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS!

ON JULY 17 2014, WHEN I WAS DRIVING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT TURN ON AND SINCE THEN LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD STILL CURRENTLY ON. *TR

IN THE MIDST OF TRAVELING ON VACATION, THE SPEEDOMETER AND MANY OF THE OTHER DASH COMPONENTS JUST QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO RELY SOLELY ON THE PORTABLE GPS TO DETERMINE THE SPEED THAT I WAS GOING. THIS IS UNSAFE, AND THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HUMMER MOST CERTAINLY NEEDS TO CORRECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HUMMER H2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF AND THE DRIVER HAD DIFFICULTY STEERING THE VEHICLE.

I ATTEMPTED TO PULL THE VEHICLE UP FURTHER IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I HAD TO PUSH IN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE.

WHEN THE CONSUMER ARRIVED AT THE DEALER, SHE WAS INFORMED THE AIR BAG MODULE PART, HAD BEEN DISCONTINUED. THE CONSUMER HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL AT TRYING TO FIND THE PART.

STARTING IN OCTOBER 2013 MY SPEEDOMETER HAS NOT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. IT DOES NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT SPEED NO MATTER HOW FAST OR SLOW YOU ARE GOING. IT IS EITHER STUCK AT 0 OR BOTTOMS OUT OVER 120. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM DRIVING UNLESS I USE MY PORTABLE GPS THAT SHOWS SPEED. IF IT WASN'T FOR MY GPS THEN I COULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT OR GET A TICKET BECAUSE I WOULD NOT KNOW HOW FAST I AM GOING. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AS I AM NOT THE ONLY HUMMER OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP. *TR

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN THE 5YRS I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE THAT WE HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS DURING A RAIN STORM IN FLORIDA. WE HAVE REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE THE WIPER CONTROL MODULE. THIS TIME BEING THE SHORTEST SPAN OF ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE IT GETS DAMP AND MALFUNCTIONS. WIPERS EITHER WORK INTERMITTENT OR NOT AT ALL AND THIS HAMPERS VISIBILITY AND CAN CAUSE A WRECK. I HAVE NOTICED THAT GM HAD A RECALL FOR 2003 BUT NOT FOR OTHER YEARS. I ALSO AM A MEMBER OF THE HUMMER FORUM AND CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS COMMON AMONGST ALL YEARS. *TR

THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY VEHICLE'S WARRANTY WHICH I PURCHASED SEPARATELY HAD JUST EXPIRED BUT I STILL WENT BACK TO DEALER AS THE NOISE I HAD REPORTED TO THEM UNDER WARRANTY WAS NOW MORE APPARENT. TURNS OUT IT WAS DUE TO BROKEN OFF EXHAUST HEADER BOLTS.NOW I AM OUT OF WARRANTY, DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX. I HAVE 1 BROKEN ON DRIVERS SIDE AND 3 ON PASSENGER SIDE. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON SHOWING AN OXYGEN SENSOR FAILURE OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET THIS PROBLEM IS AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED !! *TR

DRIVING HOME I BEGAN TO SMELL AND ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. IT BEGAN VERY QUICKLY AND CAME AND WENT FOR ABOUT 2 MILES. I PULLED OVER AND LOOKED AND COULD NOT SEE SMOKE OR FIRE SO I CONTINUED HOME. I DROVE THE REMAINING 4 MILES TO MY HOME AND IMMEDIATELY GOT MY HUSBAND TO CHECK AS THE CAB HAD FILLED WITH THE SMELL OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. HE LOCATED THE AREA THE SMELL WAS STRONGEST AND THEN WATCHED AS SMOKE CAME OUT. HE UNBOLTED THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID TANK AND THE MOTOR ON BOTTOM HAD ACTUALLY BURNED, MELTED AND WAS ON THE VERGE OF CAUSING SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE. THE WIPERS WERE NOT BEING USED AND HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A HEATER FOR THE FLUID. *TR

WIPERS STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY. RAINING REALLY HARD. *TR

BRAKE LINES RUSTED THROUGH AND FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING WHILE STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT. SINCE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WAS RUSTED, THERE WAS NO RESERVE BRAKING FROM THE DUAL SYSTEM. I WAS TRAVELING AT A MODERATE SPEED AND WAS ABLE TO RECOVER WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. I REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE LINES AT A COST OF $1100, NOT KNOWING THAT THIS WAS A COMMON DEFECT IN GM VEHICLES. I SAW TODAY IN THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT MANY OTHER GM VEHICLE OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS APPARENT THAT GM ENGINEERS HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF GALVANIC CORROSION AND USED THE WRONG MATERIALS FOR CRITICAL COMPONENTS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 HUMMER H2. THE CONTACT INSPECTED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND DETECTED A POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKAGE.

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER OPERATE ON THERE OWN. *KB

TRANSMISSION COOLER DEFECT ALLOWS GLYCOL TO ENTER TRANSMISSION. TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT CONDITION OCCURS FILLING THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH A TOXIC GAS. HOT TRANSMISSIONS CAN ALSO CATCH ON FIRE. THIS IS A KNOWN CONDITION; GM ISSUED AN ALERT TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS BUT NO RECALL HAS OCCURRED. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER IN MY VEHICLE GET STUCK AT ANY SPEED. BOTH METERS EITHER MAX OUT OR DROP TO ZERO AT NUMEROUS SPEEDS. AT SLOW SPEEDS THIS PROBLEMS IS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE, BUT AT SPEEDS ABOVE 45 MPH THE PROBLEM CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHEN PULLING A TRAILER ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER HAS DROPPED TO ZERO. THIS CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION AN INABILITY TO DETERMINE REQUIRED SPEEDS ON DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE HIGHWAY. A PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS ONE SHOULD ONLY OCCUR IN A VEHICLE 25 OR 30 YEARS OLD AND NOT 6 YRS OLD. IT'S CLEAR THAT THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND AN ALERT SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR FACTORY REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON I-81 NEAR WINCHESTER, VA., I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER MOVING ERRATICALLY. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT MUCH SINCE THIS MISHAP. AS OF AUGUST 4, 2014 THE MILEAGE IS ONLY 55,264. I JUST NOTICED A SUIT FILED AGAINST GM FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT ANY RECALL. IS THERE ANY RECOURSE FOR ME? *TR
