The contact owns a 2005 Hummer H2. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle, the power steering failed, causing the steering wheel to become very difficult to turn in either direction. Additionally, the power steering fluid leaked unto the hydro-boost braking system, causing the brakes to malfunction and become spongy, extending the braking distance. The contact works as an independent mechanic and confirmed the causes of the failures. The local dealer apple valley Chevrolet located at 650 foxcroft ave, martinsburg, wv 25401 and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA campaign number: 05V043000 (service brakes, hydraulic).

While driving the road curved to the left. I tried to follow road as it curved. I was able to turn the steering wheel but the wheels could not follow the turn. The Hummer went straight causing me to go into a ditch. The passenger front wheel flew off with the axel' please help me understand.

2005 Hummer H2 unable to steer on dry asphalt when at a standstill. Dealer replaced all steering components and it still cannot steer if at a standstill-like when you are trying to park it. I went to answers.com and a Hummer expert said the power steering is weak in many GM SUV's and cannot be corrected. I have checked with other owners, and half say they have the problem, and half do not. If you let the vehicle roll a little, then it can steer. But that makes it even harder to park. I decided to look at a new 2008 Hummer H2, but the one I liked could not steer at a standstill, they tried to sell me a different color, which could steer, but I did not like the color.
