Example complaints

“While driving my 2005 h2 Hummer in a rain storm the windshield washer motor came on and started spraying water and would not stop until the motor quit working. Thank god I did not wreck. After checking other sites and complaints this looks like a defect not only in 2003 models but 2005 models as well.”

NHTSA complaint #10350448, filed 2010-08, 57,000 miles

“Driving thru a heavy rain storm at 50 MPH in the left lane of a three lane highway and the windshield wipers stopped working at about a 1/4 of the way up...pulled over as soon as I could ...did not panic... Could not reset wipers...had to drive home off the highway for 30 miles with no wipers...thank god for rain-x on my windshield...googled h2 recalls and found # 08243 from GM on 9/9/2008 for the exact same issue...called GM and was told that my VIN number was not part of that recall even if it was the same issue??? …”

NHTSA complaint #10692261, filed 2015-03, 86,000 miles

“The contact owns a 2005 Hummer H2 SUT. While driving 20 MPH, the contact noticed wiper fluid releasing on its own. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated that the wiper motor control module was retaining moisture and caused the motor to fail. The dealer estimated the repair cost at $500 because the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 08v456000 (visibility: windshield wiper/washer: motor). The failure mileage was 72,000 and current mileage was 76,000.”
