| I was driving between 30 to 40 mph with my daughter in the passenger seat and my 3 year old grandson in the back seat. all windows were rolled up with the temperature outside being around 70 degrees. without seen cause or warning the passenger window instantaneously with a loud bang broke into a million pieces covering my daughter. i pulled over to see if i could see anything that could of caused this. it was very frightening. my daughter was o.k. and i called the police. a report was made. there was no rock thrown, no bullets fired, no one around doing any landscaping or construction to cause an object to be projected toward the window. this could have caused a major accident but fortunately it did not. what could have caused this? the police suggested a defect in the window. the window had no previous cracks, or problems. could you please let me know if this has ever happened and what can be done about it. thank you, jill *tr | |||

| The rear drivers side window went down by itself, and now is inoperable from either the drivers electric window switch or rear passenger switch, so it is stuck down. all other windows work fine. i have not fixed the problem yet. *nm | |||

| Both front door power windows fail to operate. the motors make a grinding noise and the windows will not fully open or close. the glass panels apparently are not attached as they can be moved by hand. the failures have occurred within two days of each other and have been vary rarely been opened since the vehicle was purchased.*ak | |||

| I have this same problem as jb---driver's outside rearview mirror (heated and light dimming) reflected image is severely distorted. there has been no damage to the mirror, but it is distorted and at night it is very hard to tell how many vehicles are behind because each headlight appears to be 3 or 4 headlights. this is a safety issue. *tr | |||

| I have a 2001 chevy tahoe. i purchased the vehicle 2 years. for the year i have heard a clicking noise and a knocking noise when i turn and then the noise starting getting louder. four months ago i was pulling out of my drive way and the noise turned into a scratching sound. i parked the vehicle for 2 days took it to dealer ship and they said nothing was wrong with it. well little did i know that nothing turned into the rear end gear differential going completely out. now i am with out a vehicle. this is while i have my 4 children in the vehicle with me on our way to the doctors office. i broke down on the side of the road. could not go forward what so ever. every time i would put it into drive it would make this horrible loud noise. i am not sure if i should contact the manufacturer or what. can some one tell me anything if it has happened to you and how much it coast to be fixed. i have an extended warranty but it will not cover it. *tr | |||

| When the lights are in the on position and you are traveling at 20 -25 mph and take your foot off of the accelerator, the lights will dim for approximately 3 - 4 seconds. the vehicle was taken to a local dealership that stated they could not find anything wrong and that if it were a major problem it would show up some day. the battery has also come apart (the positive battery terminal came out of the battery), the windshield washer pump has been replaced due to leaking and is now currently leaking again, therefore the washer pump will have to be replaced again. a tire has separated for no apparent reason; dealer could not find anything wrong with the tire that would have caused the tire to separate.*ak | |||

| Windshield wipers will only work on high. when the wipers are turned off they will not return to their appropriate place of rest. this creates a distraction while driving. i will take to a gm dealer for repair. i hoped to find recall information on this web site, but i could not. i suppose this has not been recalled, but from hearsay seems to be a common problem. *jb | |||
