Auto retractable side steps, as in the new Lincoln navigator. May not matter much to most SUVs, but to Hummer, every inch clearance counts.

Regarding the problems we read about, I am not sure any other 2nd, 3rd, 5th, year autos are free of defects, especially based on what I heard you people talked about Jeep, released years ago but still have problems. In the cases of wiper, temp. display, transfer case or side mirrors, looks like they are random parts defect. It is entirely possible the rate of defects on each part still falls within acceptable range. Sounded like most of us have not experience similar problems. Such as the wiper motor, it involves only certain Hummers, but enough to justify recall. Someone here mentioned 178 (or some numbers like that) of transfer case failure, out of 7000 to 10000 H2s built, that may be quite acceptable.
Test and study and improvements may not eliminate the above mentioned defect of parts from suppliers. Further delay of H2 release costs hundreds of millions and certainly not acceptable to us anxious buyers.
