The contact owns a 2003 Hummer H2. The contact was driving 35-40 mph when the transmission began to slip. The contact moved from the roadway and shut off the engine. When restarting, the vehicle would not respond to lower gears. The contact was able to locate a recall for the failure (NHTSA campaign id number: 03V075000- power train: Automatic transmission) but was advised by both the dealer and the manufacturer that his VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 124,000.

2003 H2 Hummer, transmission fluid leaking into the coolant system that requires removal of all hoses and radiator flushing and cleaning and possibly removing the transmission because of contamination. Extremely expensive and I believe to be a defect in workmanship.

Consumer was going 70 mph and the two front tires locked, while the two back tires kept moving. Vehicle then continued to skip. The driveshaft was replaced. For the past 8 month this vehicle has been in the shop more than at the consumer's home. The vehicle has needed a new alternator, transmission, battery, ignition and drive shaft. The roof leaked and the consumer had to replace one of the side windows.
