THIS IS A PREVENTATIVE COMPLAINT ABOUT A 2005 CHEVY SUBURBAN REAR GLASS HINGE. SINCE FINDING OURS BROKEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON, WE HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS OF SUBURBANS AND TAHOES WITH THE SAME ISSUE, SOME EVEN STATING THE GLASS FLEW OFF INTO THE ROAD. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR LIFT GATE LOCK MECHANISM WOULD NOT OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION NOR WAS THE MANUFACTURER CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, THE REAR LIFT GATE HAS A WINDOW THAT IS INCORPORATED INTO THE LIFT GATE AND CAN BE OPENED INDEPENDENTLY THERE ARE PLASTIC HINGES ATTACHING THE GLASS TO THE LIFT GATE AND ONE OF THE TWO HINGES FAILED AND IS BROKEN. I HAVE SEARCHED THE FORUMS ON THIS ISSUE AND IT APPEARS TO BE WIDESPREAD AND CHEVROLET WANTS $1000.00 TO REPLACE THE GLASS WITH THE DEFECTIVE HINGE. *TR

REAR HATCH OF MY 2005 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN FAILED TO OPEN. THERE IS NO DEVICE INSIDE THE VEHICLE TO EFFECT ESCAPE, IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH THAT WOULD AFFECT OPENING OF ANY OF THE FOUR SIDE DOORS, AND QUICK EXIT MANDATORY. I AM A RETIRED JERSEY CITY FIREFIGHTER, AND DID NOT REALIZE THE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

LIFTGATE DOES NOT HAVE A KEY LOCK ENTRY AND WILL NOT UNLOCK USING THE DRIVER SIDE LOCK/UNLOCK DOOR PANEL OR THE HAND HELD KEY REMOTE THEREFORE I CANNOT OPEN IT AT ALL. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING SINCE WE GOT THE SUBURBAN FOR THE SPACE BUT, BESIDES THAT - IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE IS NO MANUAL RELEASE. IF THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WERE DAMAGED AND THE SIDE DOORS WERE UNABLE TO BE OPENED THERE IS NO WAY OF OPENING THE REAR DOOR. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO ME. I GET FLASHES OF A CAR ACCIDENT AND A FIRE WITH MY KIDS TRAPPED INSIDE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE REAR DOOR FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE! I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE IS NO MANUAL SAFETY LEVER! I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH THE LIFTGATE NOT OPENING ON SEVERAL BLOGS AND WEBSITES. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TYPE IN SUBURBAN REAR LIFTGATE WON'T UNLOCK. PLEASE REVIEW AS I DO FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE BEFORE IT AFFECTS THE SAFETY OF CONSUMERS. *TR
