Hummer H2 problems
The Hummer H2 is an full-size off-road sport utility vehicle (SUV) that was marketed by Hummer and built in the AM General facility under contract from General Motors from 2002 until 2009. It is based on a modified GMT820 GM three-quarter-ton pickup truck in the front and a half-ton 1500 frame in the rear. A four-door pickup truck version with a midgate that opens the vehicle's interior to the external cargo bed was introduced for the 2005 model year as the H2 SUT (sport utility truck).
Background

Common Hummer H2 problems
The Hummer H2 is a large SUV known for its off-road capabilities and distinctive design. However, it has several common problems that owners have reported.
One of the most common issues with the Hummer H2 is related to its fuel economy. The H2 is not known for its great gas mileage, and owners often report that it requires a lot of fuel to operate. This is due to the H2's large size and heavy weight, as well as its powerful engine options.
Another issue that many Hummer H2 owners experience is related to the vehicle's suspension system. The H2 is equipped with a sophisticated air suspension system that is designed to provide a comfortable ride, but it can also be prone to problems. Common issues include leaks in the air suspension system, which can cause the vehicle to ride unevenly or even sag to one side.
The Hummer H2 is also known to have problems with its electrical system. Many owners report issues with the battery draining quickly or not holding a charge, as well as problems with the vehicle's wiring and electrical components. This can lead to a variety of issues, including difficulty starting the vehicle or problems with the vehicle's accessories, such as the radio or air conditioning.
Another common issue with the Hummer H2 is related to its braking system. The H2 is a heavy vehicle, and this can put a lot of strain on its brakes. Owners often report that the brake pads and rotors wear out quickly, and that the brakes can feel spongy or unresponsive.
Finally, many Hummer H2 owners report issues with the vehicle's overall build quality. Despite being a tough and rugged vehicle, some owners report that the H2 is prone to rust and corrosion, especially in areas where road salt is used during the winter months. Additionally, some owners report that the interior components of the H2 can feel flimsy or cheaply made.
In conclusion, while the Hummer H2 is a powerful and capable SUV, it is not without its share of common problems. From engine and transmission issues to electrical and interior problems, there are several potential areas of concern for H2 owners. It is important for owners to stay on top of regular maintenance tasks and to address any issues as soon as they arise in order to ensure the longevity and reliability of their vehicle.

- Summary: THE PASS LOCK KEEPS MY VEHICLE FROM STARTING AND STOPPING IT AT RANDOM, AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS. SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO AT LEAST 85% OF HUMMERS OUT THERE IF YOU CHECK AROUND, HUMMER FORUM AND OTHER PLACES. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS. STOPS AT INTERSECTIONS, AND COULD ON RAILROAD TRACKS. I KNOW THAT YOU'VE HAD COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS AND IGNORED THEM, SAYING THAT YOU HAVEN'T HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY YOUR AGENCY, AS YOUR JOB IS TO KEEP THE CITIZENS SAFE. NOT PASS THEM OFF AS YOU'VE BEEN DOING FOR YEARS ON THIS ISSUE WITH THE GM PASS LOCK SYSTEM. THIS NEEDS RECALLED BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED DUE TO THIS MISS FUNCTION ON HUMMERS. MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SHUTDOWN ISSUE THAN NOT. WHEN IT HAPPENS, YOU HAVE TO WAIT BETWEEN 10 AND 30 MINUTES WITH THE KEY IN THE START POSITION BEFORE IT WILL START. SO IT SITS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, INTERSTATE, BRIDGE, OR ANYWHERE ELSE DURING THIS TIME. HOPEFULLY YOU WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE PROMPTLY.

I've owned my H2 for nine months and it has been a fantastic experience! The interior is truly world-class, the ride is incredibly smooth, and the handling is well above the normal SUV style. While it's true that they get less than average gas mileage, if you're upset over the mileage, you probably couldn't afford it in the first place! Plus, gas is so cheap in the U.S. When I spent a month in France and Germany, I was shocked to see gas prices ranging from $4.00 to $6.00 a gallon. No wonder they have a different perspective on things!

Great to drive! Awesome turn radius! The suspension is so smooth (especially with air suspension), and the full-time 4X4 makes it even better. Plus, the interior is super comfortable and roomy. I'm really happy with my purchase!

Just got my H2 and I'm loving every minute of it! The gas mileage is not as bad as everyone thinks - 13mpg for everyday driving. When I first saw the H2, I thought it would be clunky, sluggish, and have really loud tires. To my surprise, it's actually very nimble with a great turn radius for a vehicle its size, and has a smooth ride with minimal noise inside the cabin. Overall, it's a fantastic vehicle!!!

My wife and I were initially skeptical about how the car would handle and drive. However, we were pleasantly surprised! Having previously owned a Lincoln Navigator, I had a good reference point. I let my wife drive it first and she was impressed with how well it drove. Although she was initially nervous about the width, she quickly overcame it. I was also very impressed and decided to buy it. Even after the newness has worn off, we still love it!

Living in Iowa, I have confidently driven anywhere despite the 18 inches of snow we've had this year. I feel 100% safe on the roads. Although I do regret that a complete third row seat is not offered, overall I am completely satisfied.
Are you having problems with your Hummer H2?

Congratulations on your new SUV! It sounds like it has all the features you could want in a vehicle. While it may take a few days to get used to the front view difference, it seems like a dependable car from your driving experience. Just be careful of the blind spot. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we hope you continue to enjoy your new car!

There is an obvious electrical short causing issues with the AC panel. Despite paying $800 out of pocket, the dealer has replaced parts that were not related to the problem, including the speedometer cluster for $500+ and the AC panel for an additional $250. However, the issue persists. As an expert in this field, I recommend a thorough diagnosis of the electrical system to identify and address the root cause of the problem.

If you're looking for a vehicle that turns heads, this is the one! However, if you're in need of something more practical, a Denali might be a better fit. I previously owned a 2003 Denali XL, but decided to trade it in for a 2005 H2. While I enjoy the way it handles, the power and ride quality don't quite match up to the Denali. Additionally, the cargo room is limited and there's less storage space overall. There are a few other minor inconveniences, such as the navigation screen pointing towards the passenger, the lack of a six-disc changer, and a slightly bouncy ride. Personally, I'm considering going back to a 2007 Denali XL as soon as they become available.

I owned my H2 for 7 months after previously owning a Mercedes E350. Unfortunately, I found that the H2 did not compare well to my previous car. The acceleration was lacking and parking in garages was nearly impossible, especially when wearing high heel shoes. Additionally, the gas mileage and interior were disappointing. While the H2 did attract attention, the feedback was mixed, particularly after Hurricane Wilma when there was a gas shortage in town. I am now much happier with my BMW 650, which is a more suitable SUV for my needs.
