| Defect Summary | Certain trucks, sport utility vehicles, and vans equipped with bosch hydro-boost brake assemblies, the hydraulic brake booster pressure accumulator may crack and separate from the hydro-boost assembly during normal operating conditions. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If a separation occurred and the hood of the vehicle were open, fragments from the accumulator could cause injury to people in the immediate area. the presence of this crack or fractured surface could allow the hydraulic fluid to leak from the accumulator circuit of the booster assembly. the loss of fluid would cause increased steering and braking effort and a crash may occur without prior warning. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will test the hydro-boost assembly for functional operation of the two-function valve. if the hydro-boost assembly fails the test, dealers will replace the assembly free of charge. the recall began on march 23, 2005. owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, gmc trucks at 1-866-996-9463 and hummer at 1-800-732-5493. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | Certain sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and passenger vans fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 135, ?passenger car brake systems.? some of these vehicles were produced with an out-of-specification brake hydro-boost housing relief valve bore. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Consequently, the valve o-ring seal may fracture. steering efforts may be slightly increased while braking or parking. under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal may require a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the same vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seat fracture. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers are to replace the hydro-boost relief valve. the recall began on june 18, 2004. owners should contact cadillac at 1-866-982-2339; chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438; gmc at 1-866-996-9463; or hummer at 1-866-486-6376. | |||||||||||||||

| Disc brake rotors not machined to legal specifications. approximately 40% of rotors face were still rough casting, this caused rough braking and early brake pad failure. dealer and gm refused to repair under warranty, claimed they were ok. i will not buy another gm product for their lack of concern. state inspection requires 100% clean up of machined surface on rotors. *tr | |||

| I was driving my 2004 h2 hummer. i was on a deep slope hill. i was backing up and i hit a 500 series mercedez on his left bumper from left rear bumper. immediately after i hit, i started to shift the gear so that i could stop the car to get out to see what happened. at this point, the hummer started to travel at very fast speed down the street in the same pattern that i had originally driven up. i tried to apply the brakes, brakes did not work. i tried to steer, steering was in a lock position. i hit a pedestrian hard and my car landed in my neighbor's house. when i hit the house, the 2 front wheels became detached from the car. the pedestrian that i hit has incurred many serious damages. i had 1 engineering company look at the car back in 2004 after the accident and they said they could not find anything wrong. when i look now, i've heard of many cases where similar incidents have occurred due to brakes. i am currently in court for another 1 week as this pedestrian is now suing me. i plead to all h2 hummer owners to contribute any information that they may have about other hummer owners or their own experience. your contribution to this matter is highly appreciated. *tr | |||

| Dt: 2004 gmc hummer the consumer states he had to make an emergency stop and the brakes went almost to the floor. the vehicle was taken to the dealership and they could not find anything wrong with it. the consumer tried to duplicate the problem himself and it did the same thing again. he feels it will not stop in time during an emergency. the manufacturer told the consumer to take the vehicle to the dealership. this almost caused an accident. the brakes fail every time the consumer needs to make an emergency stop. *nm | |||
