| I was driving down one of the busy roads in manatee county, and the back hatch glass of my 2004 chevy tahoe blew off of my car. it went air born and landed in the south bound lane almost on top of a car. if the car had not slammed on its brakes and swerved, it could have killed someone. i contacted the dealership, and the will not fix the problem. the hinges are still attached to my vehicle and the insurance company wants a $500 deductible. i know i have been online researching this kind of incident and i am not the only person to have this problem. i feel like it should be a recall before someone gets killed. it is not normal for a 4 year old vehicle to have its glass blow off. *tr | |||

| Well where should i begin, the first problem was the clunking of the front end when going in and out of driveways,the first steering shaft was replaced, a couple of months later the speedometer started making noise,that was replaced,then the clunking noise reappeared, this time it supposedly needed to be lubed, it was fine, however noise reappeared, then the second shaft was installed,the tire sensor light intermittently comes on when ever it feels like it, and tire pressure is normal, now the windshield wipers will not shut off when it rains except when you turn the vehicle off, however they come back on when you restart the car after hours of sitting, my wife is expecting our second child and also drive my 5 year old in this vehicle, this car is piece junk, gm needs to take back pride in there craftsmanship step up to the plate like there consumers did and fix this ?!@#$%! they need to extend there warranties because there cars do not last as they mislead you to believe!!! *tr | |||
