I bought a Hummer H2 in April 2004. I went off road the next weekend and was going about 5 miles an hour up a mountain and lost control of the steering. We found out the tie rod broke. They told me it was not covered by warranty. I went to abritration and won my case. This last weekend I was climbing a hill less than 5 miles an hour and the same tie rod broke. When this happens you have no control of that wheel. I talked to a sales man at the Hummer dealer I bought my truck from and he told me that he broke a tie rod at one of the Hummer test centers. When I picked my truck up from the dealer the first time my tie rod broke I saw another Hummer H2 being brought in for a broken tie rod. I talked to the service repair tech and he told me he could not believe how small the tie rods are. I feel very lucky to be able to tell you these stories. I do not want to have to see people die from this defective tie rod. I know GM does not want to recall this part but it needs to be changed before someone gets hurt or killed. Thanks for you help, anthony orefice 661 510-6523 cell.
