 I have a major problem with leaking and rattling coming from the sunroof and now i cannot get it to function. it sounds like it might actually fly off when i am riding down the road. i have heard very many complaints on this same problem from other h2 owners. i am not worried about it working properly but i am very concerned about it flying off and causing serious injuries to my self or other people it may hit. *tr

 I bought a 2003 hummer h2 brand new. since the day i got it had many problems, both electrical and mechanical. the steering is very hard and the breaking is ineffective at times. i showed them a copy of the bulletin on this website. they did not acknowledge any problems. the issue still persists. many electrical issues seat memory problems, mirror don't work..etc. eventually the electrical issues fixed. roof leaking water from the reading light on two occasions once because of sunroof issue and the second time because of the outside roof light. now most recently i have been having a problem with the check engine oil light comes on every 5 to 6 weeks and way before an oil change is due. this has happened at least 5 times so far. everytime the engine is missing oil. the dealer says that hummer allows the engine to burn one quart of oil for every 100 gals of fuel. i said what am i supposed to do when that light comes on. the service manager said pull off the road and check the oil. i said what am i supposed to do if the oil is low. he said add oil to the engine. i said so i have to drive with a couple of quarts of oil in the back all the time? the light comes on every 5 to 6 weeks. i said how many hummers have you sold? he said many. i said how many you know of do that? he said none. i said if none do that, why does mine do it? and if this normal why none of the others do it? the dealer refuses to acknowledge any leak of oil or any burning of oil by the engine!!!!!!! *nm

 Any time it rains the vehicle fills up with water. the dealer has replaced the sun roof, the gasket in the drivers door, and the cargo hatch. the electric drivers seat moves up automatically when the vehicle is turned off causing the driver to be crushed against the dash board. the consumer feels that the hood is too heavy and that there is no support bar to hold it up. the vehicle has been to the dealer seven times since the consumer purchased it. *mr

 Dt: the consumer owns a 2003 hummer h2. the hood cable on the h2 was surrounded by a rubber sleeve for the hood release. over a period of time the cable deteriorated and it caused the hood to fall, resulting in injury to the contact. when the hood was in the lock position the rubber hoses around the support cables held water in the process and caused the cable to rust. this occurred on both of the hood cables. the dealership replaced the cable, and they did not put the rubber hose on the cable. they replaced it with a different type of cable. the contact reported this to gm manufacturer. they offered him a $200 settlement for his injury. this occurred on september 13, 2004.*ak *jb

 While turning down a city street the left front wheel of my 2003 hummer 2 broke off from the axle, and the vehicle dropped onto its belly on the left front side. it was towed to the dealership and reported to them. their response has been whatever, too bad but there are only 68,000 miles on it and this failure has been reported in these vehicles before. what constitutes a safety recall and who gathers and reports the data ? thank you *tr
