2004 Hummer H2 visibility complaints

Filed Feb 26, 2009 · Visibility · 84,300 miles · OH

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!!

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.

(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.
