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.

MY 2004 HUMMER H2 VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE HAS 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. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, DRIVER VISIBILITY COULD BE REDUCED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V456000 THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR BUT GM REFUSES TO ASSIST BECAUSE MY VIN # IS NOT ON THEIR RECALL LIST. WHICH MEANS THAT THERE ARE A LOT MORE HUMMERS THAT ARE ON THE ROAD WITH THIS CONDITION GETTING ABSOLUTELY NO HELP FROM GM. *TR
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD & ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FRONT & BACK WINDSHIELD WIPERS STARTED GOING OFF, AS WELL AS THE WIPER WASHER HAD TO PULL OVER & PULL THE FUSE. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. GOOGLED THE PROBLEM SEEN THAT ALOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM & THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE GETTING WATER IN IT & CAUSING IT TO SHORT OUT. CONTACTED HUMMER THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL WAS ONLY FOR 03 & SINCE MINE WAS AN 04 IT WASN'T ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. WHICH I THOUGHT WAS BULL. THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSTIC @ A HUMMER DEALERSHIP & THEN RE CONTACT THEM. THERE IS NO WAY IM GOING TO GIVE THEM ANY MORE MONEY ESPECIALLY IF THEY WON'T TAKE CARE OF THERE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS. NO MORE HUMMERS FOR ME! *TR
WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ACTING ERRATICALLY, THEY WOULD NOT TURN OFF , THEN THEY WOULD AUTOMATICALLY GO OFF AND NOT BACK ON, WASHER FLUID PUMP CONTINUED TO SPRAY WHILE WIPERS WERE EITHER ON OR OFF UNTIL TANK WAS EMPTY. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE WIPERS. *TR
I OWN A 2004 HUMMER2 AND THE WIPER MOTOR MODULE STARTED TO SMOKE. AT FIRST MY WIPERS WOULD RUN WITHOUT ME EVEN TURNING THEM ON THEN THEY WOULDN"T WORK AT ALL. THEN ON FEB. 19TH,2004 AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD , THE WIPER MOTOR STARTED TO SMOKE. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAIN STREET TO STOP AND PULL THE FUSE. AFTER TALKING TO A HUMMER DEALERSHIP I FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PART, BUT ONLY IN THE 2003 MODEL. THE PROBLEM IS THAT MOISTURE GETS INTO THE WIPER MOTOR AND BURNS UP THE CIRCUIT BOARD AND CAUSES IT TO SMOKE AND THEN THE WIPERS WON"T WORK AT ALL. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BUY THE NEW PART AND THE PART GUY NEW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS. I DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING. I STILL HAVE THE OLD PART. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MORE SERIOUS!! *TR
THE POWER RETRACT MECHANISM IN BOTH OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER FAILURE, THE MIRRORS CAN BE BLOWN INWARD AT HIGH SPEEDS CAUSING UNEXPECTED VIEWING PROBLEMS WHEN USED DURING OPERATION.. THE MIRRORS CAN ALSO EXHIBIT HIGH VIBRATIONS WHICH MAKE THEM DIFFICULT TO USE DURING OPERATION. IT IS FELT THAT THESE PROBLEMS COULD CONTRIBUTE TO AN ACCIDENT. *NM
(2)SAFETY EQUIPMENT DEFECT...POWER FOLDING MIRRORS ON 2004 H2 HUMMER FAIL TO REPOSITION PROPERLY AND WILL NOT STAY IN PLACE RELIABLY. CONSEQUENCES FROM THIS DEFECT MAY LEAD TO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES DUE TO UNEXPECTED CHANGE OF REAR VIEWING AREAS. (3)ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE WITH SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGE EVEN THOUGH MILEAGE HAS EXCEEDED WARRANTY LIMITS. UPON PRESENTING VEHICLE FOR REPAIR, I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR. PRESUMING THAT THE USABLE LIFE SPAN OF THESE FOLDING MIRRORS SHOULD BE WELL IN EXCESS OF THE OCCASIONAL OPERATION THAT THEY HAD, I REFUSED TO PAY AND LEFT. THE SALESMAN WHO SOLD ME THIS HUMMER LATER SAID HE HAS NO CONTROL OF HOW THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OPERATES AND THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT. ALSO, I WAS TOLD PREVIOUS TO MAKING MY APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE POWER FOLDING MIRRORS ON H2 HUMMERS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT (REAR VIEW MIRRORS). LEFT REAR DOOR FAILS TO LATCH DUE TO BINDING MECHANISM. THIS WAS ALSO REPORTED AND NOT REPAIRED DUE TO SAME CIRCUMSTANCES.*AK
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
