I was driving home after work and it started to ran. I turned on my windshield wipers and they worked for a short time then just stopped. I turned off the wipers and tried to get them to restart, but nothing happened so I turned them off. Then all of a sudden, they came back on at high speed and I couldn't turn them off ; the washer fluid started shooting out massively until it was reserve was empty. My wipers stay on constantly and only turn off when I turn the car off. The dealership (vera hummer in pembroke pines fl )states that there is a recall for the cover but they will not replace the motor, I am responsible. That is not right this is a defect and should be covered by the hummer manufacturer.

I was unaware of the recall 08v456000 until the windshield wipers on my hummer h2 began until the front windshield wipers started to work intermittently and then became inoperative. 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. If a sufficient amount of water enters the module, over time, the front windshield wipers may work intermittently or they may become inoperative consequence if this were to occur, driver visibility could be reduced, which could result in a vehicle crash. Remedy dealers will inspect the windshield wiper module cover, and replace the windshield wiper module cover free of charge.

Windshield motor began running on its own. Wiper fluid began squirting on its own. Would not respond to control. Recall notice document id # 1197628 states the recall is to replace a cover over the motor to prevent it from failing....... When I took my truck to have the recall performed they changed the cover? Leaving the motor inoperable. I am sure this was not the intention of the recall.
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 federal safety agency 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.

I own a 2003 hummer h2, that has the same issues with the wipers as that of the recall. I am being told that my VIN number does not fall into the effected units and that I am out of luck. My system also releases the wiper fluid non stop.
Wiper cover recall notice 08243. Took vehicle in, wipers had already stopped working. Told crest cadillac this when I called. They replaced the cover on a motor that was broken already. Would not replace the motor. Note on inspection report said wiper motor assemble needs to be replaced. Called gm several times and was to recall was for motor cover and not motor. I would say, yes but because the cover is defective and allowed water in the motor assembly it has stopped working. Would not replace or cover charges. Went to see manager or repair shop, he said he could not replace motor without authorization or he would not get reimbursed for charges. Filled complain with bbb. Got call from gm within 3 days, after answering her questions she told me they could would not replace the motor at this time. Called manager of crest cadillac and gave her info. She said she would call me back. I never heard from her. Do not know what to do now.
Windshield wiper failure.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 hummer h2. When the contact activated the windshield wipers, they made a loud revving noise as if the motor was defective.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the repairs had been previously performed. The dealer wanted to charge for the repairs and stated that the manufacturer had not yet paid for the services, which is why it was shown as an open recall. No repairs have been made to the vehicle. The failure and current mileages were less than 60,700.
The federal safety agency number 08v456000 action #pe08042 my vehicle has the same I have the exact same windshield wiper/washer problem as listed in the recall however, hummer at www.gmownercenter.com won't repair it. Because my 2003 h-2 hummer is not included in the recallvins. Local hummer dealer will repair it but needs approval if it is to be repaired. Why my h2 VIN wasn't included is a mystery to me...but the problem as referenced still exists as a safety defect. I need your assistance on this to move forward and correct this problem. Please advise.
Need to replace blower motor resistor module. It quit working and we have been trying to replace part since sept 2008. Gm informed me they do not currently make this part. I feel it is a safety issue due to ice/frost and or condensation forming on the inside of the windows due to the cold weather here. It makes visibility slim to none. I was told it would take at least a month to find someone to make this part...that was 2 months ago. Just since sept 2008 there are almost 500 people hunting this same part, we are #8 on the list. I feel due to the high volume it should be handled as a recall...replaced free of charge as well as free labor, and a rental car provided free of charge until gm/hummer can fix my vehicle so I can have the use of it.

I have a severe rattle coming from my sunroof and sunroof reflector and the sunroof does not operate to the open position but will vent open but when it is in the closed position it rattles and shakes looks like it is going to fly off and I am very worried this is going to happen. I also seem to have a "car-pool" every time it rains because it leaks badly even when its being washed or in a light shower. There is alot of water damage on the headliner and water stains as well. And my vehicle seems to end wet inside after a rain shower or storm. The leak itself is not a huge issue but the rattle is. The sunroof is going to eventually fly off, this is inevitable ! 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. This is a very big safety issue, please recall this problem! I also have several other safety issues associated with this vehicle which my wife & I have filed under separate complaints on this site. I am not a typical complainer and usually just takes things in stride but this has become ridiculous! Please do something!
Windshield wiper intermittent. Comes on without switch being activated,will not go off at all. Pulled fuse at the dealership still wouldn't go off. Was driving down the road in the rain, wipers would not function at all, however wiper fluid was rapidly spraying out at full spray and continued to spray after fluid was all gone. Bad visibility problems. Had to pull over to side of freeway in redding,ca and call local hummer dealer which was 100 miles away. Gentleman I spoke with said he had heard of this many times. 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. Now I cant even trade it in. They'll sure take your money and finance you no problem, but when you have problems they turn the other cheek and act like nothings wrong or its all your fault. I have a very strict maintenance program for all my vehicles,so them saying that its my fault,or if its involved in a crash,insurance companies want to place blame too. Good thing I have records...lots of records. I've also had problem with seat recall. One of the first times I drove it the easy out was activated and it crushed me up against the steering wheel. I turned that off really quick!
