| My 2003 hummer h2's service brakes light keeps coming on along with the traction control & abs light, and every time i brake it seems to pull me all over the road. it is also very hard to stop if i suddenly have to brake and i am scared i am going to have a major collision with another vehicle or another object. this is very dangerous! there are many times i have applied pressure to my brakes and it didn't even slow at all. i am terrified to drive this vehicle as i have 3 very young children usually with me & i bought this vehicle under the impression that it would be a safe vehicle for my children & more importantly my 5 year old daughter that had brain surgery less just over a year ago that cannot hit her head or be in a minor car crash because her skull may come apart and kill her instantly , this is the very reason i bought this big, roomy, gas guzzler to begin with, to give my child enough room in a minor car crash to not hit her head because the vehicle did not have enough room or she was too compacted in a smaller suv and i am finding out i might have been better off with another smaller vehicle. i have had nothing but problems with the safety of this vehicle, and this was a very bad decision to buy this vehicle and now i have no options to trade it in right now because i have to much in it. please do something about this before someone gets killed or seriously injured because i could not stop my vehicle and yes, my brakes are almost new so its not the problem, nor does it have low brake fluid. *tr | |||

| Windshield wiper intermittent. comes on without switch being activated,will not go off at all. pulled fuse at the dealership still wouldn't go off. was driving down the road in the rain, wipers would not function at all, however wiper fluid was rapidly spraying out at full spray and continued to spray after fluid was all gone. bad visibility problems. had to pull over to side of freeway in redding,ca and call local hummer dealer which was 100 miles away. gentleman i spoke with said he had heard of this many times. got it fixed,and it did not remedy the problem. now i have front end problems ,brake problems, frame is squeaking really bad and dealership cant find anything wrong. rear passenger window keeps falling down. all in all hummer are the biggest pile of junk on the road. ill never give my money to gm again. they do not stand behind what they sell. now i cant even trade it in. they'll sure take your money and finance you no problem, but when you have problems they turn the other cheek and act like nothings wrong or its all your fault. i have a very strict maintenance program for all my vehicles,so them saying that its my fault,or if its involved in a crash,insurance companies want to place blame too. good thing i have records...lots of records. i've also had problem with seat recall. one of the first times i drove it the easy out was activated and it crushed me up against the steering wheel. i turned that off really quick! *tr | |||
