The drain tubes for the sunroof become clogged and get pinched in the trim of the vehicle causing water to drain inside the vehicle and cause water damage.

Problem: Rear passenger doors when driving in wet mud, slush freeze rear passenger doors shut in freezing weather... you can not get doors open from inside or out.... children or adults will be trapped inside rear passenger seat with really no way out... there is no rear cargo manual door release either... most adults could not get over seat front or rear seat to try and exit vehicle anyway.... this door freezing has happened to me (3) times when driving on wet slush or muddy roads in freezing weather......the rear doors take in these elements because of poor designed rear door seals... when I say frozen shut, I mean really frozen.... these elements also make it into the sides of the rear seats.... I will report this condition to GM Hummer but I believe I'll only get a run around.... I feel this could be a death trap for children or anyone... thank you for your time.... if you can please do something about this issue.....

Nothing lead to the failure. Second occurrence in 11 month period of time. First occurrence 12/3/2009 and now another repair needed 11/4/2010. Sunroof channels clogging and leaking water into vehicle. Hazard when driving in rain when water pour through the vehicle dousing and distracting the driver which could result in a possible jerk of the wheel or wreck. Front windshield also begins to fog to do moisture and impedes view of road. Water pouring into vehicle causing mold in carpet, seats and electrical components.
