H2

  • 14,710 miles
When I am parked on my driveway, the two front doors will not stay open to let me and my wife safely enter and exit. The doors are supposed to be held open by what is called a door check. These two left and right door checks have a defective design because I ordered two new ones, and the 2 doors will not stay open as we are entering, and exiting the Hummer. The doors quickly close and almost break our hip, legs and feet. It is a defective design because they used plastic and rubber to make friction together in the door check. It will not hold open the heavy door(s) on the Hummer H2. The Hummer only has 14,710 miles on it. So, I know that it is a common problem. Normally, my last GM Chevrolet truck used door checks with steel roller(s) that rolled against a steel spring(s). I am having difficulty on your website to upload a photo of the door check with the defective design.

We purchased this H2 in December 2014 and by Feb 2015 noticed a grumbly sound in the brakes. We took it in for service and the tech told us the whole undercarriage was rusted and all the brake lines were rusted thru and had to be replaced. Since some of the lines were no longer available, they had to "create" them. This was a costly fix and who knows what the safety impact could have been.

H2

  • 80,000 miles
The contact owns a 2003 Hummer H2. The contact was driving 45 mph and attempted to stop at a red light when the brakes failed. The vehicle coasted until it stopped in a parking lot. The emergency brake was used to drive the vehicle to the contact's residence. The vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed the vehicle as having corrosion on the brake line. The contact was informed that in order to repair the vehicle, the frame would have to be removed. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified of the incident. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
