2003 Hummer H2 Steering Problems

“I went to crank up my Hummer to warm it up due to the very cold weather once I cranked the Hummer I immediately smelled a very strong burning odor. It begin to smoke and my husband yelled it your truck and I looked and saw the smoke getting worse and thicker. I unhooked my infant son's car seat belt and took him out of the vehicle. …”

“On april 22, 2008 my son was driving my H2 and was trying to turn the steering wheel to the left to change lanes quickly due to a car making a right hand turn in front of him. When he turned the steering to the left the right front wheel fell off and caused him to slide into the car making the right turn. I am thankful it happened when he was changing lanes going only 10-15 miles per hour instead of it happening while changing lanes on the freeway doing 65 to 70 miles per hour. …”

“On aug 23,07 at approx 4:30 p.m., I pulled up to a stop sign in san mateo, ca. I stopped completely, made a right hand turn, and proceeded south at approx 10mph, when suddenly the right front end of my 2003 Hummer dropped onto the ground, and I completely lost control of the vehicle. There was no steering, little brake pedal and the vehicle proceeded to travel to the right and collided with a parked vehicle. There was absolutely nothing I could do to prevent this. …”

“There were no events leading up to the failure. I pulled into my office parking lot on the morning of 2-20-2006. There was snow on the ground. I turned the wheel to the left, and with a little throttle, spun around into my parking place. I have since discovered that by doing that little maneuver, you can, and I did, shear off the shaft of the power steering pump. Disabling the power assist to the steering as well as to the brakes! Rendering the truck all but undriveable. …”

“The steering on my 2003 Hummer H2 steering is horrible and seems to be worse when the brake is applied. I also have noticed that I have way too much steering and it tends cause me to over correct and go into the ditch or off the road. And when I am going down a highway that is very dangerous (which I have to travel to leave my house) I can be driving in a straight line and it will just veer off into another lane with the steering wheel straight and this is not a balance or alignment issue whatsoever because this has been checked.”
