Windshield wiper failure by model year
What owners say
The wipers would stop working in the front and start working on and off again they would still work on high setting but they would not turn off and the pump on the reservoir for the washing fluid would keep spraying even after all fluid was gone I had to pull out my fuse to keep it from spraying.trying to find out if this stuff is covered on recall or if I will have to pay to get it fixed or if I can please let me know I am not sure what all recalls need to be fixed but I would like to get them done before something bad happens .
This is the 3rd time in the 5yrs I have owned this vehicle that we have lost control of the front windshield wipers during a rain storm in florida. We have replaced at our expense the wiper control module. This time being the shortest span of about a month before it gets damp and malfunctions. Wipers either work intermittent or not at all and this hampers visibility and can cause a wreck. I have noticed that gm had a recall for 2003 but not for other years. I also am a member of the hummer forum and can tell you that this is common amongst all years.
Driving home I began to smell and electrical burning smell. It began very quickly and came and went for about 2 miles. I pulled over and looked and could not see smoke or fire so I continued home. I drove the remaining 4 miles to my home and immediately got my husband to check as the cab had filled with the smell of an electrical fire. He located the area the smell was strongest and then watched as smoke came out. He unbolted the windshield washer fluid tank and the motor on bottom had actually burned, melted and was on the verge of causing some serious damage. The wipers were not being used and had not been touched. This vehicle is equipped with a heater for the fluid.

Wipers stopped on the freeway. Raining really hard.
2005 hummer h2 - windshield wiper not functioning properly. Seems to be a defect with wiper module.
The windshield wipers on the vehicle will at first work intermittently, going on and off at their own will. Then the windshield washer pump will turn on without warning, discharging all the washer fluid onto the windshield. The pump will continue to pump, even with the vehicle turned off. This can only be remedied with the disconnection of the battery. The wipers will then not work. This can occur at any moment, being very dangerous.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 hummer h2. The contact stated that the windshield wipers stopped working. The wipers turned on without warning and the washer fluid began to spray out and would not stop until the vehicle was turned off. Once the vehicle was restarted, the wipers did not function. The dealer stated that the windshield wiper motor was broken. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. The current mileage was approximately 71,000.
I own a 2005 hummer h2 and a problem developed with the windshield wipers. They will work intermittently and at times continuously also the washer pump runs continually . Dealer said corrosion caused the problem.the only way to stop the wipers and pump is to remove one of the fuses. The dealer said to fix the problem would cost approximately $250-$300. This problem started slowly and progressed to be a constant issue. I noticed that on the federal safety agency website that the 2003 hummer a similar problem resulted in a recall of over 13000 vehicles are other h2 owners having this problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 hummer h2. The contact started the ignition, suddenly the rear windshield washer dispensed fluid without activation. The identical failure occurred with the front windshield wiper dispenser. The driver disconnected the fuse which resulted in the windshield wipers to not operate. The vehicle has not been repaired at this time. The failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was unavailable.
2005 hummer h2 front windshield wipers stopped working in on position while driving, they would only work on high and then had to be shut off just right while down or they were right in the middle of the windshield. Then the wipers would come on and off when they wanted too. Then the back windshield wiper came on all by itself and the wiper fluid kept squirting and the wipers would come on and off but I had no control over either the front or rear wipers and the rear wiper fluid. The fluid ran out and the motor just kept pumping until my husband removed some fuses. I was almost in an accident with my 3 sons and this could cause a fire with the pump motor not shutting off.
