set tires to 40 PSI. Past that not much you can do. steering wheel should free up as soon as you release brake pedal.

[meathook]

well i dont get it we pay all this money for a hummer,and there is no fix isnt this a breach of the warranty?

why are you trying to turn while stopped?

you'll break a tie rod, then you'll need an alignment. there's an expert on alignments here that can fill you in, and i have 2 tie rod ends if you need them, just pay shipping.

It's not unusual for the wheel to be hard to turn at a stand-still with your foot on the brake. BTW, you can run around 45-50 psi in those tires.

Let me know how that conversation with a mediator/state judge turns out for you.

[NoMoGMPG]

This condition is called "Static Steering". It is very common for ANY vehicle, not just Hummers, with large contact tires (read that as tall and wide). If you attempt to pull against these forces, you will either break the steering pump shaft by overpressure or cause damage to the steering gear itself. The "fix" is to allow tire movement by letting your foot off the brake in a controlled manner while steering in the direction you wish to go.

Learn to drive the vehicle properly and you'll enjoy it. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Or, you could be a pussy and whine about the cost of the vehicle and how it doesn't drive like your Mercedes or your old Excursion. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif So, quit riding the brake pedal and turn off your turn signal when you complete your lane change, the truck won't do that for you either!

I'm grouchy today, so piss off! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

Oh yeah, another thing...

Where in the warranty does it say it covers inept driving skills? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

Moron.

[OldHiker]

I have this all the time when wheeling. No one could fix. Excuse is that the brake system and power steering are linked.

I release the brake very slightly and it immediately releases the steering. BTW - I asked the same question several months ago with about the same replies.

Live with it. I won't drive another vehicle.

We bought Tahoes and put some new body panels on them. You were just stupid for falling for the marketing and buying a pretend vehicle that doesn't really exist.

That's why we don't have problems with our steering or paint peeling off our baby steps.

hey GM Parts Guy iam not a moron iam a helicopter pilot , so when you make a comment like that i can only belive that you have no f-----ing clue you know what you are talking about
and furthermore if GM cant build a simple vehicle to work,it shouldnt be my money to test a product that has problems,and if you are really a GM parts guy than i will excuse you form your comment,you cant help yourself its caused from blowing yourself!

Meathook. Hmm. A very appropriate name. Learn to drive the vehicle, if you actually have one, and you'll see why it is truly, "like nothing else." Sit here and type idiotic statements and complaints and you'll see why this forum is "like noplace else."

On a lighter note, I have a problem with my rig as well. When I have it in reverse, with the brake pedal to the floor, I can't get it to move forward. And yes, I had it aligned just yesterday! Should GM issue a recall to rectify this problem or is it just something we Tahoe owners have to live with?

ps - Meathook - you should also learn to type.

Bondage you ass where in the manual or the hummer h2 brochure does it say specific instructions about using the brake and steering at the same time could cause damage to the steering parts as gm parts guy would lead you to belive?

also your wife told me that you have a problem getting the job done at home as well,however she said you just cant help its what mother nature gave you.

WTF? Huh? Take that dick out of your mouth when you type, I can't understand a word you're saying! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

Whoop dee doo! I've flown helicopters, does that make me retroactively intelligent? No. What does make me intelligent is the rapid fire synapses within my brain and the ability to use cognizant thought properly. You, on the other hand, can't even make a complete sentence without sounding like you have marbles in your fingers. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

Now that we've exchanged pleasantries, here's my response to your vehicle issue.

Every vehicle is designed for a purpose, no vehicle can satisify every engaged circumstance or meet everyones expectations as to form and function. In your case, if GM were to increase the pressure to the gear, it would decrease the road "feel" at high speed resulting in less control, so it is balanced or a trade off at the expense of low to zero speed manuevabilty. The adhesion of the large contact tires at zero is a high load condition, it IS experienced by every such type of vehicle, it is that way on my H1, it is that way on every big rig in the country, it will be that way whenever the tires adhesive quality overpower the force delivered.

Now, Mr. "I fly helicopters so therefore I am not a moron" Meatspin, you can take you're attitude out the door, sell your H2 to someone who will appreciate its qualities, and GFY! DO NOW!!!!!! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

gm parts guy,

surely i type like this is so i can come down to a level such as yours. furthermore the h2 is sold to any average day citizen, and as consumers should have full disclosure of the vehicle,so what your saying is if i buy a plasma tv and when i get it home i discover that on certain weather days i cant see the screen i should accept this even though it wasn't stated any where when i bought it?

please explain this to as if i was a 6 year old?

Ah, where to begin with this a$$hole?
1)what the f$ck is tootless?
2)"skumbags" try scumbags next time
3)"your know better" do I really need to tell you what is wrong with this?

These are common mistakes made by enraged children. You shouldn't type while you are angry.
And what about this helicopter pilot stuff?
The only helicopters they allow 14 year olds to fly are remote control helicopters. You probably have a remote control H2 to go with your "chopper". I know they have been having steering issues with the remote control H2's. You should try returning it to Toys R Us for another one.

Meatlimp, Your H2 isnt meant to turn the tires at a braked stopped anymore than your helicoptor is meant to turn when its sitting at a standstill on the ground.
