It almost caused an accident. Googled the problem seen that alot of other people had the same problem & that there was a recall on the windshield wiper module getting water in it & causing it to short out. Contacted Hummer they said that the recall was only for 03 & since mine was an 04 it wasn't eligible for the recall. Which I thought was bull. …”

NHTSA complaint #10116839, filed 2005-04, 40,000 miles“I own a 2004 hummer2 and the wiper motor module started to smoke.
