2006 HUMMER H2 Steering Problems

THE OTHER DAY I TOOK A RIDE IN MY TRUCK AND UPON DRIVING APPROXIMATELY TWO BLOCKS FROM MY HOME THE STEERING CONTROL OF THE CAR TOTALLY FAILED. IMAGINE DRIVING YOUR CAR AND AT SOME POINT, YOU LOSE THE CAPABILITY OF CONTROLLING YOUR CARS DIRECTION WHILE HOLDING YOUR STEERING WHEEL. ONE CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF I WAS GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR AND DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THEN LOSING THE ABILITY TO TURN YOUR WHEELS. I AM BLESSED THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ONLY TRAVELING 10 MILES AN HOUR. AFTER CALLING A TOW TRUCK AND HAVING MY CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP, IT WAS DETERMINED THE CONTROL ARM BOLT HAD BROKEN OFF THEREFORE LOSING TOTAL CONTROL OF THE CARS STEERING CAPABILITY. THIS IS UNHEARD OF AND SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AT ALL DURING NORMAL USE. WITH ALL OF THIS I CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT HOW LUCKY...

STEERING IS VERY SLOPPY AND VAGUE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THERE IS TOO MUCH NON ACTIVE MOVEMENT TO CORRECT DIRECTION. I HAVE TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AT LEAST 6 INCHES CONSTANTLY TO EVEN KEEP THE TRUCK STRAIGHT. I HEAR GM HAS WEAK PITMAN ARMS ETC.. ALSO THE STEERING JUDDERS AND VIBRATES AND SOMETIMES IT GETS STUCK AND GOES WHEN COLDER USUALLY. SOMETIMES BRAKES ARE STRONG, SOMETIMES THEY ARE WOODEN AND LACK GRIP ALMOST RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. I KEEP MUCH DISTANCE TO THE OTHER CARS SO I DID NOT CRASH. BUT I GET A SCARED SENSATION WHEN CONTROLS DON'T WORK CORRECTLY. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 HUMMER H2 AT CERRITOS HUMMER. I CURRENTLY HAVE ALMOST 55,000 MILES. TODAY I WAS PARKING MY CAR AND NOTICED THE STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. ALSO THE BRAKES WERE REALLY WEAK. I USED ALL THE ENERGY I HAD TO GET INTO A GAS STATION DRIVEWAY. I DROVE ABOUT 1 BLOCK BECAUSE I NEEDED GAS WHERE I NOTICED OIL DROPPING UNDER THE CAR. I CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND THE OIL WAS COMING OUT NEAR THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I OPENED THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR AND SAW THAT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE OIL BECAUSE IT HAD DROPPED UNDER MY CAR. MY STEERING IS TOO HARD TO TURN AND THE BRAKES ARE ALMOST NON EXISTENT PULLING INTO THE GAS STATION. I CALLED CERRITOS HUMMER AND TALKED TO THEIR SERVICE MANAGER AND HE SAID I WAS PAST WARRANTY. I TOLD HIM THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS...
