| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought a hummer h2 in april 2004. i went off road the next weekend and was going about 5 miles an hour up a mountain and lost control of the steering. we found out the tie rod broke. they told me it was not covered by warranty. i went to abritration and won my case. this last weekend i was climbing a hill less than 5 miles an hour and the same tie rod broke. when this happens you have no control of that wheel. i talked to a sales man at the hummer dealer i bought my truck from and he told me that he broke a tie rod at one of the hummer test centers. when i picked my truck up from the dealer the first time my tie rod broke i saw another hummer h2 being brought in for a broken tie rod. i talked to the service repair tech and he told me he could not believe how small the tie rods are. i feel very lucky to be able to tell you these stories. i do not want to have to see people die from this defective tie rod. i know gm does not want to recall this part but it needs to be changed before someone gets hurt or killed. thanks for you help, anthony orefice 661 510-6523 cell. *ak |
