Disc brake rotors not machined to legal specifications. Approximately 40% of rotors face were still rough casting, this caused rough braking and early brake pad failure. Dealer and gm refused to repair under warranty, claimed they were ok. I will not buy another gm product for their lack of concern. State inspection requires 100% clean up of machined surface on rotors.
2004 Hummer H2 brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was driving my 2004 h2 hummer. I was on a deep slope hill. I was backing up and I hit a 500 series mercedez on his left bumper from left rear bumper. Immediately after I hit, I started to shift the gear so that I could stop the car to get out to see what happened. At this point, the hummer started to travel at very fast speed down the street in the same pattern that I had originally driven up. I tried to apply the brakes, brakes did not work. I tried to steer, steering was in a lock position. I hit a pedestrian hard and my car landed in my neighbor's house. When I hit the house, the 2 front wheels became detached from the car. The pedestrian that I hit has incurred many serious damages. I had 1 engineering company look at the car back in 2004 after the accident and they said they could not find anything wrong. When I look now, I've heard of many cases where similar incidents have occurred due to brakes. I am currently in court for another 1 week as this pedestrian is now suing me. I plead to all h2 hummer owners to contribute any information that they may have about other hummer owners or their own experience. Your contribution to this matter is highly appreciated.

Dt: 2004 gmc hummer the consumer states he had to make an emergency stop and the brakes went almost to the floor. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and they could not find anything wrong with it. The consumer tried to duplicate the problem himself and it did the same thing again. He feels it will not stop in time during an emergency. The manufacturer told the consumer to take the vehicle to the dealership. This almost caused an accident. The brakes fail every time the consumer needs to make an emergency stop.
