Not tested by NHTSA
|
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 114, ""THEFT PROTECTION."" THESE VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A MECHANICAL OVERRIDE THAT COULD ALLOW THE IGNITION KEY TO BE REMOVED WITH THE SHIFT LEVER IN A POSITION OTHER THAN PARK.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
|
|
Description:
|
Certain sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and passenger vans fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, passenger car brake systems. Some of these vehicles were produced with an out-of-specification brake hydro-boost housing relief valve bore. Consequently, the valve O-ring seal may fracture. Steering efforts may be slightly increased while braking or parking. Under certain driving conditions, a fractured seal may require a slight increase in the applied brake pedal effort to achieve the same vehicle deceleration rate as prior to the seat fracture. Dealers are to replace the hydro-boost relief valve. Owner notification is expected to begin during the second quarter of 2004. Owners should contact Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339; Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438; GMC at 1-866-996-9463; or Hummer at 1-866-486-6376.

Summary:
|
Amazing off-road capability, luxurious accommodations.
By Jim McCraw, NewCarTestDrive.com
With only about 40,000 of these to sell, we think the 150 Hummer dealers in their distinctive Quonset hut dealerships will be swamped. This Hummer 2 will do 95 percent of what the original Hummer can do at far less than half the price, far more comfortably, stylishly and nimbly. This thing will drive straight up a 16-inch vertical face, drive over a 16-inch diameter log, and traverse watery places to a depth of 20 inches or more. It'll easily drive up a wet 60-degree hill, if necessary at a 40-degree angle. We've never driven a big production SUV that was this good off-road. At this price, it's the SUV bargain of the year, whether you're trying to get through 10 inches of snow, a rutted soccer field parking lot, or a rocky canyon. Just don't expect to win any fuel-economy contests. |

Overview:
|
It all started as a military vehicle in the late 1970s. Since then, AM General has built more than 175,000 HMWWV, Humvee, or Hummer H1 vehicles. Now comes the Hummer H2. It Is built at a brand-new factory in Indiana that's a duplicate of other General Motors plants. In effect, it is a GM plant. GM now owns all marketing rights to the Hummer brand, and contracts with AM General to build the new Hummer H2 using the GM worldwide production system. The Hummer 2 is actually longer and taller than the original H1, but doesn't look it. The H2 represents an impressive production achievement: In just 16 months from the go signal, the Hummer H2 was designed, engineered and tested, and the new factory was built. It's a serious off-road SUV built on GM's superb T800 truck platform, which is shared with the Chevy Suburban and Tahoe SUVs and the Chevy Silverado pickups, plus the Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Avalanche, GMC Sierra and Yukons, and other vehicles. But this isn't just a gussied-up Suburban. The H2 boasts unique Hummer engineering and attributes and offers truly impressive off-road capabilities. And unlike the H1, it provides occupants with a luxurious interior that's comfortable and convenient. Its size and design makes suitable for everyday use.
