2005 HUMMER H2 UNABLE TO STEER ON DRY ASPHALT WHEN AT A STANDSTILL. DEALER REPLACED ALL STEERING COMPONENTS AND IT STILL CANNOT STEER IF AT A STANDSTILL-LIKE WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO PARK IT. I WENT TO ANSWERS.COM AND A HUMMER EXPERT SAID THE POWER STEERING IS WEAK IN MANY GM SUV'S AND CANNOT BE CORRECTED. I HAVE CHECKED WITH OTHER OWNERS, AND HALF SAY THEY HAVE THE PROBLEM, AND HALF DO NOT. IF YOU LET THE VEHICLE ROLL A LITTLE, THEN IT CAN STEER. BUT THAT MAKES IT EVEN HARDER TO PARK. I DECIDED TO LOOK AT A NEW 2008 HUMMER H2, BUT THE ONE I LIKED COULD NOT STEER AT A STANDSTILL, THEY TRIED TO SELL ME A DIFFERENT COLOR, WHICH COULD STEER, BUT I DID NOT LIKE THE COLOR. *TR
