 While driving on vacation at approximately 2 hours away from home destination, there was a pop noise that was heard by all. kept driving and all of a sudden the right side of the spoiler on the rear of the vehicle popped off and was hanging down. tried to put back on, but would not go. took it the rest of the way off, continued on our trip. when we returned home, we took it to a body shop, which the guy told us that we were the sixth person that has had this happen to them and they are going to be fixing it for us for a fee. would like to see if this would be considered a recall since there have been more than 1 of the same situation in the same area as us. *tr

 Driving to columbus, the upper molding around the third brake light got caught by the air flow bent up then broke free from two attachments. this allows the upper molding and brake slight to flap in the air flow. if this had broke free hit could have hit another car behind and/or broke the rear tailgate window. did notice a creaking sound when opening tailgate early in the day. looked and did not see any problems. *nm

 Chevy trailblazer02 model, about 40k miles in 2005 the car died on us 2 times and we couldn't find out what was the reason we had to ask for jump and it kept going on normal, then suddenly after about a couple month i saw that the battery was leaking, and damaged some a/c pipe lines under the battery, had to replace the battery and wash and clean all under and around the battery to remove the acid stuff. after that the tailgate where the third brake light is, started making noises everytime i opened it, when checked i found that the part where the rear window is affixed to the tail gate where broke and the escrews are hanging by it self which made the rear window loose and standing out, and about a week ago now that i have 61k miles in 2009 the rear brake light went off, took it to dealer and they told me about the recall on those lights and so they fixed it, which when i picked up the suv and drove it with the family about 45 miles trip when suddenly it started blowing air and making a strong and deep noise sounded like a bus or 18 wheeler passing by, which made us cancel the trip and go back to dealer to find out what have they done to my car, take a guess, i was told that it's common on those chevy's the fan clutch to go out and that it really lasted long on my car and yes it's something normal that happens, but it cost me $950.00 to repair it yeah sure very normal, it seems like gm parts and labors now are costing just as the german cars. shouldn't gm make all those issues recall if it is known that are defective and are happening to most of the cars . *tr
